<p>Might be worth trying -v all, rather than just playback, likely to be freezing for another reason. </p>
<p>Also, would be interested in your script and lirc entries for getting irexec working, if you don't mind, I've tried without luck in the past! Off list is fine, don't want to hijack your thread here. </p>
<p>Cheers </p>
