Comment 20 for bug 264113

@Uco: Which lirc_input.py did you patch? The one in /usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc ? Because since 0.5.36 there is an updated lirc plugin that is distributed via the plugin repository which is installed as ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/elisa_plugin_lirc-0.2.egg and which overrides the one in /usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc .

As a workaround I disabled automatic plugin updating (change auto_update_plugins = True in ~/.elisa-0.5/elisa_0_5_6.conf to auto_update_plugins = False) and moved ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/elisa_plugin_lirc-0.2.egg to ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/elisa_plugin_lirc-0.2.egg.disabled . After starting Elisa choose Later when asked if you want to install the update that is available and Elisa should use your patched lirc_input.py in /usr/share/pyshared/elisa/plugins/lirc again.

P.S. Elisa's lirc plugin is also unusable for me with a Logitech Harmony 525 acting as a Hauppauge PVR 350 remote without Steve Kondik's patch above.
