I emailed Matthias R and asked him to take a look at this bug report. According to his reply in comment #20 above, the fix was successfully applied to kernel 5.10 but should not have been backported since the problem did not exist in kernels < 5.10. A user on the MythTV forum is successfully using kernel 5.10 with an IR remote with no issue. The problem in focal affecting many people occurred due to LP #1918516 as referenced in Kernel SRU Workflow 1921052 (https://bugs.launchpad.net /kernel-sru-workflow/+bug/1921052). Thanks for anything that can be done to fix this.

Everything was working fine until kernel 5.8.0-49 was automatically installed by Software Updater on Ubuntu 20.04.2. When any key is pressed on the remote, the key is repeated about 500 times. The kernel is now 5.8.0-50, and the problem persists. Other users on the MythTV mailing list are reporting the issue, and it appears that the problem is related to changes in the following files: drivers/media/rc/ir-mce_kbd-decoder.c drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c b/drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c drivers/media/rc/serial_ir.c It has been reported that reverting the ir-mce_kbd-decoder.c and rc- main.c files to the older versions fixes the problem. /proc/version_signature > version.log: Ubuntu 5.8.0-50.56~20.04.1-generic 5.8.18 lspci -vnvn: 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers [8086:590f] (rev 06) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
