[Bug] sendir --raw not functional after flirc_util upgrade to 3.27.5

[drikanis]

Hi, I'm having an issue with sendir in flirc_util after updating the flirc package to 3.27.5. The code (if it's being sent at all) is not recognized by the device I'm trying to control with it. Works fine with 3.27.4.

• OS: OSMC (raspbian 11.8)
• FW Version: v4.6.5v4.6.5
•    SKU:     Flirc 2.0 [dori]
•    Branch:  master
•    Config:  release
•    Hash:    0x18BBFCFA

3.27.4 (works and code is recognized by receiving device):

I see the same result with flirc_util 3.27.15+ and the following Flirc 2.0 USB firmwares:

v4.9.6

v4.10.5

The workaround is to transform the "raw" codes into CSV, this can be done with the following command (Linux):

raw="+9014 -4405 +535 ..... <rest of raw string>"

csv=$(echo 0"$raw" | sed 's/ \?[+-]/,/g')

flirc_util sendir --raw="$csv"

Note the prefixed '0'.
