Specify lircd socket

[michaelarnauts]

It seems there is no way to specify the lirc socket to use. In my case (on OSMC on a rpi), there are two lirc sockets:

• /var/run/lirc/lircd: uses kernel mapping, irw shows all buttons presses are using the remote linux-input-layer
• /var/run/lirc/lircd-lirc0: uses a normal lirc client, irw shows the correct remote

This python scripts seems to use /var/run/lirc/lircd, but I can't find a way to change this. Can this be specified somewhere?

I've also tried the LIRC_SOCKET_PATH env variable, but that doesn't seem to be used.

I think that's an LIRC config, not a client. Have you considered using the in-kernel IR handling? #28 (comment)

Closing this since I'm archivng the repo.
