Hi list!
lirc starting from version 0.8.6, does use the socket /var/run/

changed. Else IR will not work in VDR.
There are two possibilities:
1. Shell code to check which of the two sockets do exist and adding
relevant command-line-parameter to vdr (--lirc=/var/run/lirc/lircd).
2. Patching VDR to check both pathes and using the existing one.
3. Change lirc to use /dev/lircd
In gen2vdr ( =gentoo ) I set:
LIRCD_OPTS="-o /dev/lircd"
in /etc/conf.d/lircd :)
Nice to know that it can be changed, but I have a big BUT:
Does irw and all other apps using liblirc_client then still work?
I doubt, as they have the new name compiled in.
I confirm irw does not work when using the '-o wherever' switch with
lirc-0.8.6 (cvs from about a month ago). I guessed but was not sure
it had something to do with a compiled-in patch.
I came across this issue when playing with an xbmc-pvr install. While
debugging the install my work around was as 1. above.
