Not quite right, I think.  There should be two tables in your
devinput.lircd.conf file, named devinput-64 and devinput-32.  Your
keycodes are matching the devinput-32 table, so that is the one you
want to rename to devinput.  The table name is used for output to the
lirc socket that irw and MythTV connects to, not for input matching.
The matching of the input in lircd is according to the protocol
setting lines also at the top of each table.

>However I do not have a $HOME/.lirc/ directory.

Download the file in my other post.  The files are in there.  They use
the name devinput for their input matching of data received from the
lirc socket.

See /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf for the name of the lirc socket
("output =").
