I thought I'd start a new thread since our other one got mixed in with some ECS Liva stuff.<br>
<br>
I want to know if anyone knows of any currently available USB IR receivers that just work with LIRC and a standard Linux distro. That means on being plugged in they load a kernel driver and create a /dev/lirc interface.<br>
<br>
Tom Bongiorno has pointed towards <a href="http://flirc.tv/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://flirc.tv/</a>. But that sounds like a keyboard interface and lots of programming and work-arounds and grief.<br>
<br>
I was also directed to:<br>

<br>
(Sorry forgot who) But it turns out that user was using it with Kodi or something similar and not LIRC. I just never got it to work despite patching the mceusb.ko source and lots of work removing the default keyboard interface.<br>
<br>
There must be something out there. I took my *ancient* Microsoft branded IR receiver, plugged it into my brand new ECS Liva running Fedora 21 and LIRC 0.9.1a and it *Just Worked*.<br>
<br>
There must be something else out there!<br>

I posted this to lirc-list too. If I get any answers there I will share them.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
