Yes. Which in turn means that decoding doesn't work; the normal
explanation is that the lircd.conf file is wrong.
However, the question is of course why things which used to work doesn't
any more. We have this kernel bug [1] which possibly might affect things
[1]. What does 'uname -r' say?
If you are on a kernel < 3.17.4 you might want to make a fresh
lircd.conf using irrecord - just record two or three keys for a starter.
There is no point trying with kernel > 3.17.4 since irrecord suffers
from the kernel bug.
If you look into lircd.conf the flags attribute is something like RC5 or
RC6, right?
Cheers!
