Hi Phill,
   I don't think this is a repository for lircrc files. He seems to be
talking abuot the config file, not the lircrc file which maps remote
control button codes to specific actions within MythTV. Clearly what I
was looking for (and it's handled now since I did one on my own) is
the .mythtv/lircrc file so taht MythTV knows what to do with events
coming in from the remote. That's pretty clearly, in my mind anyway, a
MythTV issue and not an lirc issue.

   Anyway, I see no set of files there for a MythTV user to use.

   I suspect that the outcome of his work is this directory

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/

which has the config file for the StreamZap

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/streamzap/PC_Remote

but not the lircrc file which would tell MythTV what to do with each
button push. I was thinking that MythTV should offer these files to
make it easier for people with new remotes to make things work nicely.

Cheers,
Mark
