Quote: - I get space/pulse streams without having to press a remote button!
That would suggest a remote fault..... stuck button perhaps ? or if an old remote then deteriorated contacts... you could try manipulating all the buttons multiple times in the hope of freeing them up then try
sudo systemctl stop lircd
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
until space/pulse streams work only when a button is pressed.....
A quick physical check is to use a smartphone camera and point it at the business end of the remote then press a button on the remote...a purple flash or intermittent purple dot means it's working.
other things to investigate are possibly I/R sources other than the chosen remote (eg sunlight) ? Or find another remote to try....as I've mentioned, not every remote works with Lirc....most do but some are problematic.

Hi,I am running an old version Moode 2.5 on Rpi 1B+ and got Lirc configured without any problem.
A few days ago I installed Moode 4.4 but didnt manage to get IR working.I have no lircO in dev directory although edited boot/config.txt and hardware.conf exactly the same as the old one.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I had this happen in an Ubuntu install recently. Seems to be Lirc related not MooDe.
I edited /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf lines....
Code:
driver = default
device = /dev/lirc1
and rebooted then checked with
then proceeded with the install using /dev/lirc1
ymmv
EDIT: are you using lircO or lirc0 (your post shows lircO so maybe a simple typo in your setup ?)
EDIT-2 Just occured to me that MooDe 2.5 would probably have used the Jessie Raspbian image and 4.4 uses Stretch....
Lirc has changed completely between the two... you need to use this install method now...

Thank you for your input,Drone7.
It took some time and now IR is up and working.
I followed the procedure from your edit 2 and after several attempts I was succesfull.
In my case I had to place file lircd.conf in /etc/lirc instead of /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d.

Sorry
still another (maybe stupid) question from an absolute beginner:
I have an HiFiBerry DAC as Hat on my Pi. If I include a IR-Sensor, how do I this technically - in my view all pins are occupied - is there some kind of "in-the middle-connector" ?? The number of the pins mentioned the IR is attached to are these generally not used by soundcard Hats or do I have to find that out?
Thanks for help
