I am using an MCEUSB ( HP unit with a plug in ir transmitter in the 
back) .  The config says 0.9.09 but I am actually using 9.4C ( fedora 25 )

When I try an irsend SEND_ONCE blaster KEY_OK
it seems to lock up lircd and I have to restart it to get it to work again.

I am using a camera to try to see the IR signals on the transmitter but 
getting nothing.

Any further thoughts?

Thanks

Mark
