Hi, Installed the November 20 Update (from Oct 20) and now the IR remote has stopped working - it was previously working fine
OSMC Nov 20, RPi2, RC6-MCE remote, TSOP4838 gpio pin18
Does anyone else have an IR issue with this update? Thanks
From which version did you upgrade?
Some logs would be useful.
It was from a fresh install of Oct 20, I will post the logs shortly. Thanks
Same Problem. Update from Oct. 2020 to Nov 2020
Have a nice day, Ernesto
Addendum: I have restored the backup of the October version, now everything works fine again

How about:
ls -al /dev/lirc*
root@osmc:/home/osmc# ls -al /dev/lirc*
ls: Zugriff auf '/dev/lirc*' nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
root@osmc:/home/osmc#
I have a solution.
Thanks, that has narrowed the problem down.
This should now be solved, simply check for updates again.
osmc@osmc:~$ ll /dev/lirc*

This was fast 
Thank you very much!

Confirming all fixed here now also - Thanks everyone
Edit: My resident Crash Test Dummy’s (Kids) will hit the system hard this weekend
The problem was indeed solved in a very short time. Chapeau! Remote control works again. Thanks
