[mythtv-users] LIRC/IguanaIR issues.

[Eric Ladner]

Yeah, it was a bit of a kernel update (mythbuntu 12.04 -> 14.04).  The only
thing I'm aware of that's different was having to blacklist the kernel
iguanaIR driver so the igdaemon could take the device from the USB bus
instead of the kernel grabbing it.

LIRC version hasn't changed.  It was fairly up to date on the old box as of
December.  New machine has the same version as the old.  I still have the
hard drive of the old box that I can poke through, so 100% sure on that.

Minor success, though.  Further checking revealed a difference in the
$HOME/.lirc/mythtv file (button to remote mapping).  Fixing that up got irw
(and MythTV) working, but now both irw and Myth report double key presses.

I compared my .lirc/mythtv to the stock on and apparently I had renamed a
remote at some point.  Nothing's really different in the file other than
the "remote = ..." part of each key stanza (i.e. repeat and delay settings
the same for each key).

I'll check some more this afternoon.
