Description
Mainly nitpicks but after using R5.5 and being used to the controls R6 has kinda thrown me for a loop. I tried tweaking /home/mythtv/.lircrc but it doesn't have any effect.
I'm guessing that /etc/lircrc takes precedent over /home/mythtv/.lircrc now?
Which points to the template file but shouldn't personal override global?
Here's a list so far of what I've noticed different.
In the video browser, play used to immediately load a video (L) now it's same as OK (enter)
Watching videos the Fwd/Skip and Rew/Replay buttons are swapped (skip/replay should be higher value)
There is no repeat on any of the arrow buttons
The Menu button has no function
Watching a DVD, Stop brings up the Xine menu instead of stopping the video (again should be Menu button)
Using number input and OK on DVD's (i.e. special features or easter eggs) seems to crash the frontend
The Xine menu will not toggle features off. (i.e. you can change subtitles but not turn them off)
The way I figured that out, my Star Wars IV DVD played with Spanish subtitles on by default for some reason (I'm thinking WTF is Jabba speaking Spanish??) and when I tried to change it to none it didn't work. I could choose English but not toggle off.
Thanks.

Are you able to attach your lircd.conf and lircrc from R5.5? They should be in your backup if you have upgraded.

I did a full clean install but I still have my old drive handy so here's copies

If you did a clean install, then the key mapping data in the database may also be different and maybe the cause of some of the differences you have noticed. Any chance of dumping and attaching the settings table from your old database for comparison with the new default settings. (I havent had the chance to look at your attachments yet which may explain everything, just saying that that may not be the whole story).

I haven't made any changes to the lirc files or key assignments in my databases so the differences are strictly between the original MCE templates between R5.5 and R6. The other major change I noticed was the use of include "/usr/MythVantage/templates/remotes/mceusb/lircrc-mceusb" in both /etc/lircrc and /home/mythtv/.lircrc and the fact that you can't override those with your own .lircrc

I have had a chance to look into it and saw that the lircrc file you posted is a lot more like the mce file on my 5.5 system.
I merged the lircd files and included and reformatted your lircrc file.
Reopen this task if you have any issues with the files I have produced.
