Hello Peter, Of the devices that you have, which are the ones that are failing? Both of the dibcom devices? I am not familiar with how lirc interacts with the dib0700 driver, since the driver polls the bulk endpoint every 50ms and injects the keys directly. I will have to look at the driver and see how this hooks into lirc. I suspect that most people are not using lirc at all, since the device works without it. This would explain why you are the only person I know of still reporting these problems. Could you please send my your lirc configuration so I can attempt to reproduce the issue locally? If I can get an environment that reproduces the issue, I can almost certainly fix it. Thanks, Devin -- Devin J.
