LIRC not working after October update

[fzinken]

@james3

Tried running irw, but says no such file or directory. /usr/var/run/lircd folder is empty.
I am using an USB IR receiver. I have both Vero4k and RPI’s and neither work.

Could this be your issue?

OSMC's October update is here with Debian Buster and Kodi 18.8 - OSMC

I think I’ve figured it out. New version of LIRC doesn’t seem to like include statements in the lircd.conf file. Annoying as I use 8 different config files so that any remote will work with any media center in the house and for ir sending purposes but merging them all in to one file with no includes seems to be working.
