Re: [vdr] lirc-0.8.6 moved socket to /var/run/lirc/lircd

Hi list!

lirc starting from version 0.8.6, does use the socket /var/run/lirc/lircd instead of /dev/lircd, so all apps not using liblirc_client need to be changed. Else IR will not work in VDR.

There are two possibilities:

1. Shell code to check which of the two sockets do exist and adding relevant

command-line-parameter to vdr (--lirc=/var/run/lirc/lircd). 2. Patching VDR to check both pathes and using the existing one.

That's what VDR's --lirc option is for.

If you like, I can change the default (defined in Makefile and user configurable in Make.config) to the new value.
