piCorePlayer IR support

Hi,
I'm troubleshooting getting IR working in PiCorePlayer. (It was working but I just did an upgrade to the newest PiCorePlayer version out.

I installed LIRC using the web interface. I manually set it to use LIRC1. Reboot.

When I go to command line and run "irw" the program registers the remote key presses. So LIRC is working properly. But piCorePlayer is not reacting to the key presses.

I have a reasonable amount of lirc on Linux. So I did a search for a LIRCRC file that is required to pass on keystrokes to any running application.

I found
/usr/local/share/lirc/files/lircrc-squeezebox (which is linked to /tmp/tcloop/lirc/usr/local/share/lirc/files/lircrc-squeezebox)
A quick look at the file shows the entry
prog = squeezelite-armv6hf

Well for those key presses to be passed to Squeezelite correctly I think it should actually read
prog = squeezelite

Unfortunately this is a read only file that I can't edit it.

Anyone care to explain how I can edit this file in PiCorePlayer?

Or am I completely wrong to look this file?

This all seem wonky to me as the way things are setup by default I can't see lirc working for anyone?

Help?!?
