LIRC Problem

[LeVolatile]

I finally found out what's the solution for my problem and want to let know everybody who has the same problem.

Don't install the patch I've shared above on Raspbian Stretch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The patch is already included in the version 5.3.1 of Moode and it works without to do anything in additon.
When you install the patch irw will not work!!!!

All you have to do is to follow these instruction:

The command to start irrecord is      sudo irrecord -n -d /dev/lirc0    and you have to start it at the pi direction.

It took me some time but I hope I am able to help anybody how struggles with this.

Hi Patrick:

I'm having the same issue about LIRC and was very happy to read this solution.  So I follow those instructions carefully but didn't succeed. :-(

LIRC seemed to install correctly.  I lunched those commands for the first test:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/lircd stop
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

The first line did worked and returned the stop confirmation.  But the second one returned this:

Code:

Cannot initiate device /dev/lirc0

So I tough the installer just "forgot" to create the file and I created one empty lirc0 with nano text editor.  I retried the second command but no luck. I can't go any further for now.

If someone can give a working and tested solution, I would appreciate very much.
