eISYIR Fails to Connect FLIRC after Migrate/Update

After migrating all plugins to eisy and updating all of the latest production versions, IR function became unreliable and eISYIR log says cannot connect Flirc device. The plugin and Flirc device had been working properly before migration and updates.

Tried the following:

I disconnected/reconnected Flirc USB in eisy-lite (several times)

I rebooted eisy (several times)

I used the "reinstall all" function in eisy Plugins

I restarted the eISYIR plugin (several times)

Regarding the error message "Could not connect Flirc device. Make sure device is plugged in and permissions are set," I don't know what permissions this refers to, but since it worked before I assume permissions are correct.

From the debug log...
