Yes lirc does handle de-duplication and I've discussed it in the 'lirc pcp thread' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105117-lirc-rpi-gpio-IR-support-for-picoreplayer), post #4. Since pCP 5.0 jivelite no longer uses LIRC for IR remote input. It's all handled through the linux kernel ir keytable keyboard emulation "crap" in my opinion. (Ahh progress!) This happened when the lirc kernel subsystem no longer had an active maintainer and was removed. I have several IR remotes that worked great with LIRC but only half the key actually return scancodes with the new subsystem. LIRC is only used now in pCP when controlling squeezelite directly since 5.0. That being said, I use the Justboom IR remote with pcp 6, jivelite and kernel ir keytables and the remote power key button turns jivelite screen both on and off. You can control the repeat rate using the -D option of ir-keytables, if you think that's the problem. In "real" jive aka squeezeplay pressing any key other than power when the player is off, displays the stopped screen saver and on screen power button for a couple seconds before turning off again. Whereas pressing the remote power key when off, turns the screen/player back to on state. Unfortunately, jivelite does not handle the soft power options the same as squeezeplay and has been a constant struggle to maintain. I use a private squeezeplay build on pcp 4.1 as my primary controller and player, with my favourite LIRC remote in my office these days. A build is available for 6.0 in the repository but I haven't posted any instructions on setup as it's not supported through the webgui. It started out as a test bed for the radio firmware changes I've been working on to shake down aac support and I ended up preferring it.
