[mythtv-users] What is "native LIRC"?

[Joe Votour]

Native lirc is when MythTV uses lirc API calls instead
of relying on the external irxevent program.

The main advantages would be:
1. Not relying on an external program (irxevent).
2. When using irxevent, I think that only one program,
the one with focus can receive the keyboard commands. 
When using native lirc mode, the keyboard command is
directed to the correct application.
