When you start a remote for the first time, vdr tries to learn the keys
of the remote. Unfortunately, the key learning messages are only
displayed on a *real* OSD, and are not sent through the cStatus
interface. :-(

As a quick hack you could apply the following patch:

--- interface.c.org	Fri Oct 24 16:38:08 2003
+++ interface.c	Sat May  1 00:58:10 2004
@@ -234,6 +234,7 @@ void cInterface::WriteText(int x, int y,
             break;
          x += cols[col++];
          }
+     cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem(s); // Hack: Remove after key learning!
      }
 }
 

This should pass all key learning messages to the -T/-p device.

Note that you have to undo the patch after key learning.
Otherwise the OSD will be garbled on the -T/-p device. Maybe the
upcoming new OSD implementation will provide a better solution.
