Justin,

What are you using for your IR? I'm trying to get a USB IR device, I have irtoy2 and irdroid modules, to work on Raspberry PI OS but neither work with these instructions. Both flash the data received LED when I press buttons in irrecord but irrecord times out in 10 seconds with no data received.
