Hi People,

I was wondering if someone could help point me in the right direction. I have a serial blaster (serial port 0), that was working prior to my upgrade to the latest version. Anyways, I am getting the following errors.

[root@mythbe etc]# irsend /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE VIP1200 OK
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: No such file or directory
[root@mythbe etc]# cd /etc
[root@mythbe etc]# ./change_chan.sh 7
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: No such file or directory
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: No such file or directory
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: No such file or directory
[root@mythbe etc]#

I know it is not my change channel script and I have check LinHES bug 328. I have also done the following commands to try and get it working.

chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0
gpasswd -a mythtv uucp
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
setserial /dev/ttyS0

and I have modified my /etc/sv/lircd/run per the instructions see below

#!/bin/bash

exec 2>&1
export TERM=linux

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

#since what we do may not be enough

Any point in the right direction would be great.
