Hello! I have problem with LIRC:
1) I run irw command
2) I press right button (for example). But in kodi interface I see a jump through one element. For example: 1->3->5->1...etc (in 1-2-3-4-5-6 sequence). But irw displays only one button press!
000000037ff07be1 00 KEY_UP mceusb
3) If i hold down this button, in kodi interface i see one jump through one element, after that jumps occur elementwise. For example: 1->3->4->5->6->1->2->3->4.... etc (in 1-2-3-4-5-6 sequence). irw show me the repetition:
000000037ff07be1 00 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 01 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 02 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 03 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 04 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 05 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 06 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 07 KEY_UP mceusb

etc...
It does not depend from remote control (I tried different RC's). What i am doing wrong?

Same issue here. IRW shows single keypresses and KODI skips two elements. Completely not usable. Reverting to OE.

Did you try stopping lirc altogether?

No. Can you elaborate a bit more? What to do, how and how to check then?

Just stop lirc and check if the problem is gone:

Didn't even think about it, but of course will check. But isn't lirc service necessary for GPIO IR remote to work??

Depends. XBMC has a lirc like implementation itself. If both standalone Lirc and XBMC Lirc are triggered by the same remote you get double keypresses.

Just checked it and as I suspected remote just stopped working. Interesting is that TV remote (via CEC interface) works without any issues.

Did you try the various supress repeat settings? Google for them.

Yest tried them. But in IRW I don't have multiple keypresses even with supress repeat = 2. In KODI on the other hand it always skips to every second item. No issue with CEC remote. I think It's some problem with KODI not LIRC but don't know how to debug this.

Did you try the Kodi supress repeat options.

You mean remoterepeat and remotedelay? They have no effect at all neither in Xbian nor in OpenElec.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I just setup my remote and encountered the same issue.

No. Gave up on XBian and reverted to OE. Much better support and works flawlessly.

I resolve this problem:

I add 2 lines in the rc.local (/etc/rc.local)

modprobe lirc_rpi
/etc/init.d/lirc start
