Unless you are IR blasting as well as receiving or need to do something
more specialized with irexec in response to remote input (e.g. run external
scripts), why mess with lirc at all for a MCE remote / receiver?

Using ir-keytable (
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:IR_control_via_evdev), it emulates
a keyboard in response to remote input perfectly well once configured
without all the quirks of lirc.
