Can you clarify why you are making this change?
Hello Sam and thank you for your reaction. The reason I am looking into the guts of LIRC is that my recent OSMC update broke it and I am still trying to figure out how to make it work (more on the topic is at Confusion regarding LIRC configuration). Later I found out that omitting --uinput did not really improve things for me but as I found the question here I thought I just might share it.
