I’m unable to use the IR side of my remote control, which has had the keycodes cloned from an MCE remote and is received by an MCE USB adapter. This setup worked great under LE with Kodi 17.3 with no configuration, it just worked.
ir-keytable shows the MCE USB device however it never receives any keycodes from it when looking in test mode, despite the red LED on the adapter blinking as usual. From this thread it seems that someone else had a similar problem and it seemed to be related to LIRC blackholing the keycodes so they never get to meson-ir.
I’ve tried to disable LIRC in various ways, including symlinking the four LIRC services to /dev/null. I’ve confirmed those services don’t start however the LIRC device and protocol are still listed in the ir-keytable output…
