Description:
Hi - I hope this is an arch bug but I'm not 100% sure. I think the recent lirc update changed the default lircdfile from /dev/lircd to /var/run/lirc/lircd, however Plex Home Theater still uses /dev/lircd as the default.

The update broke my remote support in plex, but running plex with "plexhometheater -l /var/run/lirc/lircd" restores functionality.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 1.2.2-3
* config and/or log files etc.
Default /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf:
[lircd]
nodaemon = False
permission = 666
driver = default
device = /dev/lirc0
lircdfile = /var/run/lirc/lircd
pidfile = /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid


Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch PHT without passing in the -l argument gives no IR support, passing in -l /var/run/lirc/lircd restores functionality
This task depends upon

Thanks for the report, AFAICT there was a '/dev/lircd' symlink pointing to '/var/run/lirc/lircd' for compatibility, I guess it has been removed. I just pushed a patched 1.2.2-4, can you confirm it works without passing '-l /var/run/lirc/lircd' before I submit it upstream?

Wow. That was much faster than i expected. 1.2.2-4 is working great. Thanks!
