This means that your kernel doesn't support your remote.  So, using 
lircd + the default driver is probably your best bet (which means 
driver=default, device=/dev/lirc0 in lirc_options.conf).

No, mythtv is most likely not the culprit.

You might want  to look into lirc's repeat suppression. See e. g. [1]. 
the 'repeat' parameter. However, it's strange that this happens only 
after this update.

And, please don't top-post. It makes the thread more or less unreadable.'



Cheers!
