Flirc SE + Raspberry PI 3 + LibeELEC

[johnsibie 0]

hello! I have a Rasberry PI 3 running LibreELEC 8.2.5. I have a shutdown script which is working with GPIO3 (pin 5), which will perform
 a  shutdown and restart without an issue. On my pc, I have install 3.1.1.6 Flirc SE and configured with a spare Samsung DVD remote.
Once all is setup, I reconnect the power to the PI and it boots up fine I can navigate but I can't shut down, but I can use the momentary switch which
is connected to the Flirc SE.
