Similar problem here using Samsung TV remote and OpenELEC.
On my case is totally aleatory behavior, sometimes works fine, sometimes repeats a key x times, sometimes gets repeating a key endlessly and I've to restart my system, really annoying :(
This is probably an stupid question but before buying I wanna know if I can use Lirc and a keyboard (connected via mini-DIN) simultaneously?
The PC run Openelec for HTPC usage and Kubuntu for descktop usage (dual boot), I wanna use Lirc for the first and keyboard for the second but both will be always connected.
Thanks in advance.
