Upon updating from lirc v0.9.3.a to v0.9.4.b and from libirman v0.4.6 to v0.5.2, I am observing some doubling of key presses within kodi. This doesn't happen consistently everytime I hit a key, it occurs 30-40% of time and seems independent of the key being presses. If I downgrade back to lirc v0.9.3.a and libirman v0.4.6, everything works as expected.

Distro: Arch Linux x86_64.
Remote: Streamzap USB.
Linux kernel: v4.7.0.

I have attached the following which do not change when I update the packages:
/etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/00-streamzap.conf

I am happy to provide any logs or tests to help diagnose. Thank you in advance.

    Here is a test without kodi running under 0.9.3.a with me hitting each button only once:

    I think we can rule out the libirman package since you are not using this driver.

    Problem seems to be that this has been broken all the time. When everything is OK, the output should be something like 

    00000000000028c1 00 KEY_1 Streamzap_PC_Remote 
00000000000028c2 01 KEY_2 Streamzap_PC_Remote
00000000000028c3 02 KEY_3 Streamzap_PC_Remote
00000000000028c4 03 KEY_4 Streamzap_PC_Remote

    Note how the second digit increases while the same button is reported. This is how a single button press is identified. And, this has never worked, neither in 0.9.3a nor 0.9.4b.

    Basically, this implies that the config file is broken somehow. What happens if you try to use irrecord and create a new config file (you could try with just a few buttons)?

    I remapped it last night and my own file seems to work just fine with the current version using the following 2 modifications to /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf:
    driver = default
    device = /dev/lirc0

    My new config file.

    I will submit this upstream for inclusion into the remote database. Note that the previous version I was using came from the database. Should it be purged?

    Example:
    % irw
    00000000000028e3 00 KEY_BLUE Streamzap_PC_Remote

    Please submit the config file to the remote database. Let's consider what to do with the current file in that context.

    Besides this, all looks good and I close this bug. Thanks foir reporting!
