With 1.1.28 I sometimes had no respons from my remote _on all buttons_ -
sort of that after longer time with no action the lirc-connection somehow
was lost. But I had the impression that if I pressed lots of keys or started
irw then it would work again !?
As far as I have noticed till now 1.1.29 and 1.1.30 does not have that
problem anylonger - but I may not have used them long enough ;)

Does this only happen with keys that are repeatedly pressed and released
several times (not press and hold) ?

If so then try settings "KEYPRESSDELAY" to 0 or 1 in lirc.c and recompile
VDR.

Or maybe you can try the lirc.c of an older version - I am not sure if
anywhere else things have changed !? - so that this might not work.

This is what I had sent to Klaus - you could also try to remove that again
and see if it gets better. If it does not help you will have to ask Ludwig
Nussel.
