Thanks for the comments! I plan syncing the default device with lirc in the next upload to at leas cover users with default configuration. > > A proper fix for this needs to be something accepted by upstream, I guess. Kodi's build system allows setting the default device through a ./configure option thus I think this does not have to be upstreamed. Do you mean upstreaming a more complex device detection logic?
