Lirc remote via GPIO IR times out

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
1

I’m running OSMC October 2015.2015-10-1 with a generic infrared remote control using lirc and a GPIO infrared receiver.
The remote has been working up to now and it works fine just after OSMC boots. IF I leave the system alone for a while then the IR remote stops working (though OSMC continues to respond to the Kodi remote on my iPhone).

Any ideas why the remote just stops working?

Here is the content of my lirc conf file:

Have the same problem. Did you ever get it to not fall asleep?

Hey.
I found that my infrared receiver on my Raspberry Pi wasn’t working properly. I replaced it and added a capacitor on the power lines right by the sensor and it’s been working well ever since.
