> Is there more documentation at a website that I could read to learn more?
The official site is http://lirc.org. Among other things, here is an updated Configuration Guide. > I am particularly interested in the info about the raw events from the socket. At the same site there is info on the APIs, in particular the Client API. The problem is that Kodi uses the raw events (documented in lircd(8)) instead of using that API. Changing this in a stable application as Kodi requires some serious thinking to not break existing setups -- using the proper client API functionality must basically be opt-in, I guess. That said, scanning the docs will reveal the functionality in the API which is missing in the raw socket interface. The first step should be to file a bug against Kodi for not using the API and the corresponding loss of lirc functionality (and, ironically, added configuration complexity). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788235 Title: lirc broken on 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1788235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
