This looks to be a problem with the rc subsystem. The IR controller in question is part of a cx8800 atsc card. In the 4.4 kernel, where it works, this is what ir-keytable says: Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event12) with: Driver cx88xx, table rc-hauppauge Supported protocols: other lirc rc-5 jvc sony nec sanyo mce-kbd rc-6 sharp xmp Enabled protocols: lirc nec Name: cx88 IR (pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV) bus: 1, vendor/product: 7063:3000, version: 0x0001 Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms And in 4.6, where it doesn't work: Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event12) with: Driver cx88xx, table rc-hauppauge Supported protocols: lirc Enabled protocols: lirc Name: cx88 IR (pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV) bus: 1, vendor/product: 7063:3000, version: 0x0001 Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms The particular remote in question seems to require the nec protocol to work and the failure in 4.5 and 4.6 is having any supported protocols at all. I can get the remote to start working again by adding the nec protocol: echo nec > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols But it would be nice to have this happen by default rather than having to add yet another work around init script.
