Used Harmony software to change repeats to 1, still working fine, went ahead and disabled Lirc it stopped right away, used keyboard to enable Lirc and it's been working ok since.

So, I'm guessing that, for some reason, linux kernel stopped handling IR command, it's relying on Lirc to handle IR now.

Note that after disabling LIRC in LE settings you have to reboot to re-enable kernel decoding.

When lircd starts it disables in-kernel decoding (ir-keytable will only show "lirc" under enabled protocols) but when it's stopped it won't re-enable the previous enabled protocol (rc-6 in your case).

so long,
