[mythtv-users] Need help tracking this bug (lirc, ivtv or mythfrontend???)

[Ronald Frazier]

Is this a new setup or did it just start doing this? Also what type of
IR receiver is it?

I'm not sure why it would only happen with the frontend running. If
it's (not sure of the correct terminology here) a polled sensor rather
than one that has a microchip and does it's own decoding, then maybe
having extra processes running is causing it to not poll in time.

Have you tried recreating your lircd.conf file? I had a strange
problem with lirc once where irrecord determined there were fewer bits
being sent than there actually were. As a result it was getting
buttons confused. Also, you could try adjusting the gap parameter in
lircd.conf. Maybe it's set too low, so it thinks the repeat is a
separate press. I've had the opposite problem...where the gap was
really high and it thought my second press was a repeat (even if I
pressed the button slowly).
