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:
- 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.
3. Change lirc to use /dev/lircd In gen2vdr ( =gentoo ) I set: LIRCD_OPTS="-o /dev/lircd"
in /etc/conf.d/lircd :)
