Hello,

I've installed the Kodi v17 nightly build from ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly.
Though everything worked fine in 16.1, I could not manage to use my remote successfully in v17.

I'm using a good old Creative USB IR.
irw is working fine.

I compared two debug logs from v17 and v16.1 and it seems that v17 doesn't talk to LIRC at all.

Any suggestions how to fix my problem would be appreciated!

here is my LircMap.xml:
