Hi list!
lirc starting from version 0.8.6, does use the socket /var/run/lirc/lircd instead of /dev/lircd, so all apps not using liblirc_client need to be 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.
Regards Matthias

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.
And btw. I support the rename, as sockets should not be placed in /dev.

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.
