Hi Dave!

Update information...

<my quote from this morning>
BJM: While I think of it "be careful" with LIRC and the Raspberry 4 or maybe
BJM: Buster and so all the Raspberry Pi's.  (My current project sort of
BJM: requires the RPi4 so "don't care" about 3, 2, etc.)  Anyway, appears
BJM: something is broken between LIRC and Buster:

OK, the good news is for me LIRC and IREXEC aren't broken but the 
instructions I was following needed to be updated.  The 'start" wasn't 
correct: it needed to talk to IREXEC but was trying to talk to with the 
remote's key assignment stuff.  

The correction is:  /etc/lirc/irexec.lircrc 

begin
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_C
    config = echo pswd | su -l pi -c /home/pi/Load_MythFE.sh
end


"KEY_C" is the yellow button on my remote.  Can be any key as long as
not assigned in elsewhere.

pswd   = password for that Raspberry Pi

pi     = username for that Raspberry Pi

The sh script is what needs to be loaded to get what you want the button
to start up, in my case to load the Myth Front End.  (I'm just soooo
clever with naming things!!)


HTH!
