Details to this PR already explained in forum:

This fix should prevent that Kodi connects to the same socket multiple times if XBMC.LIRC.Start is called multiple times.

Seems like jenkins doesn't like me :(

Is jenkins on vacation? ;-)
Only works from collaborators, isn't it?
Let's try anyway:
jenkins build this please

You cannot trigger it, but we should have been able to do so - we called for help :-)

in the meantime: jenkins build this please

Could you open a separate PR for Gotham?
For helix it can go in as soon as Jenkins is happy.

[FernetMenta]

@topfs2 did anything change in regard to Gotham fixes. We were instructed not to send separate PRs to Gotham branch if the change does apply. RMs cherry-picked fixes tagged with Gotham

@FernetMenta: That policy has changed, check the mails of @MartijnKaijser - separate PRs are a must for 13.3

@Gotham
As for the 13.3 it was requested to please create PRs against Gotham branches for the fixes you are confident of that will work for the 13.3.
...
So create a PR for Gotham branch and add the label "Gotham" to it (and also make sure you mention it in the PR).

Since jenkins clearly doesn't want to play ball and the code changes are minimal I'm merging anyways :)
