OK, I believe I have found the problem. Prior to August 1st, it was
possible to "intercept" or "wrap" IR button commands pretty easily -- SC
executed an 'ir' CLI command when a button was pressed. Now SC/SBS
handles these button presses completely internally. All a 3rd party
plugin can do now in 7.4 is ask the server to let it know after the
button has been pressed, by which time it's too late for the plugin to
take any action.

I've opened a bug on this issue,
https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14007, and at this point I
don't expect to spend time trying to work around the change in SC/SBS.
The only workaround that comes to mind at the moment seems rater
inelegant and inefficient, and I'm hopeful that Logitech will take pity
on us and restore the old behavior. :-)
