#329 lircd-uinput fails to append suffix to release events in 0.10.0
Plex Media Player insists on listening for release events. Mythtv and Kodi work fine without them. When I try to enable them I have problems. I have written a small patch to eliminate release events in PMP but the developer does not like it. He thinks I should move away from LIRC. I need irexec. This is what I really need, and to get it I have to run LIRC. If there were an irexec alternative, I would consider trying something else.
When lircd-uniput is run with -a -r _EVUP --loglevel=debug switches, the debug log shows that the suffix is appended, but programs are registering double button presses instead of the release events (e.g. KEY_LEFT_EVUP). irw shows just the single button press and not the release event. In Plex Media Player, the log shows a lircd-uinput kernel event like KEY_BUTTON_71 that isn't even in the devinput.lircd.conf file, but this is okay because it is ignored anyway. The double button press still occurs here.
Using lircd with --release _EVUP works fine, but I understand this will be deprecated soon.
This is occuring with the devinput driver.
Two more things:
[1] On my Fedora 28 system, I can't seem to load the lircd-uinput.service file on boot. It fails trying to access the lircd socket. A restart fixes the problem. How can I fix this permanently?
[2] Is this actually working fine and is lircd-uinput supposed to echo everything received from lircd? This would not make sense to me. In that case, is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for continuing to maintain this program (and for any help!)
