With kodi 18.1 .

Your system seems to be quite a bit outdated. We're running kernel 5.4 now and Kodi has version 18.7

Are you still on Debian Stretch?

Anyway, maybe good idea to install xbian-package-lirc from devel repository. Then you have an option in /etc/default/lirc that allows you to claim input device:

Code:

# If used devices should be claimed immediately after starting lircd
# driver, set this to always or devinput. This may be required in case of
# devinput driver is used, because Kodi (at least since v18 Leia) opens
# devinput devices before lirc will be used.

CLAIM_DEVICES="devinput"
