Sorry for the confusion on my part. back on mythbuntu 14 and 16 I had to do
none of this get my MCE remote working.

So I have the 2 tables in devinput.lirc.conf
name               devinput-64   and
name               devinput-32 which is now renames to
name               devinput
The files I downloaded from your server had a number of lines proceeding
each section with a lot of garbage like:
-^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^

Are the files still good?
