Hi Hias,
Just joined to let you know some experiences I'm having re IR fun and games..
I'm running the latest x86 version LE on an Intel Nuc which utilises an inbuilt IR receiver, plus a HP MCE remote.
This combination has been used previously on a Windows Kodi install for a few years with no issues.
I'm getting the dreaded double press when LIRC is switched Off, however I believe it could well be a timing issue as pressing the key sharply will often not result in a double activation.
I've tried rebooting etc after disabling LIRC with no changes, however I've also experienced issues when returning from sleep on occasion wherby despite LIRC being on, I get double presses again. This is then fixed by turning LIRC.. Off!!
I'll try to nail down what sequence occurs for this to happen, if my wife doesn't kill me first. Her approval rating of the system is dropping.
