Hello everyone, tried to follow the post but didn't see someone with the solution i had on my problems.
In my case the config files where messed up after installing Qtirreco from the repos.
/var/log/lircd gave most of the hints.
The following was my solution (with model BN59-00609A as my example), although I am not sure if it was my messup in the first place.

step 1:
clear /etc/lircd.conf with any lines you don't need. In my case I was left with:
step 2:
The above will copy the configuration file of the remote it to the correct folder and add the .conf at the end.
Still confusing since lircd.conf points to /Devices folder, but it worked for me.

Restart qtirreco for the lircd to rehash, and that was it.
