sorry for delay. i checked the code, i cannot see that there is any quoting of the device name so according to

13:03:40 T:1969524736 DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 261064:0000555af10c1c88 00 BTN_TOP "GA629PA" (BTN_TOP)

"" seem to be part of the remote name. either fix that up in lirc.conf, or try with

Code:

<device name="&quot;GA629PA&quot;"> in Lircmap.xml

Un-be-lievable! 2nd guessing the wisdom of making a free form string w/out quotes was one of the measures I took about 2 weeks ago! It all works the way its supposed to now. Someone needs to pay for that wiki! The flip side of that is that if I was king, I'd give a knighthood to whoever made a plugin to do all this.
Thanks for finally getting me back on track. How do I improve your rep?
