lirc_rpi is no longer supported - use gpio_ir instead.

[glawson6]

Is there a resolution here? I installed with sudo apt-get install lirc
<- Was that not correct?

[pelwell]

lirc is the user-space code, lirc_rpi was the old kernel module, gpio_ir is the kernel driver. There is a guide to using lirc with gpio_ir here: https://devkimchi.com/2020/08/12/turning-raspberry-pi-into-remote-controller/

Actually now there is no gpio_ir, instead there are gpio-ir-recv and gpio-ir-tx.
Dont know which one to use, but i guess it's gpio-ir-recv
