I'll have to test this tomorrow evening.
I'm sorry, I cannot reproduce your issue. It works here as expected, with VDR's keyboard remote as well as vdr-xine's remote via xine-ui.
Traditional mode only allows you to stop replaying. There are plans to change this, but so far I didn't "want" to find time to emulate mplayers output by xineplayer.
What I have done is taken a Nexus-S and run it in softmode with xine. I am using the original configuration of my remote.conf that I would use in standard operating mode. I am trying to control xine with a Nexus remote control. Everything seems to work as expected except when I try to operate xineplayer for some reason.
Hhm, when I start replaying an external file (of resolution 352x240) and hit the blue button (which stops replaying) I get the following output on console:
SetPlayMode: 5 vdr-xine: external connecting ... vdr-xine: external connected! osd: (0, 0)-(352, 240) SetPlayMode: 0
Do you get "SetPlayMode: 0"?
Are you able to open VDR's main menu and stop replaying there?
No, the remote does not respond to any remote keys until after the file has finished playing.
Hhm, seems like you have to dig into VDR's code, why it doesn't respond to any remote keys received via the FF-card's IR receiver.
I have no problem here to control VDR with LIRC, keyboard or via vdr-xine's remote, i. e. by pressing keys in xine's window.
I was able to solve my problem by not using xineplayer at all. I can use mplayer with full slave commands with the following mplayer.sh. :) I can fast forward, rewind, everything now.

#!/bin/sh export XAUTHORITY=/home/cym/.Xauthority CMDLINE="mplayer -fs -vo xv -ao alsa -cache 4096 -slave -nolirc -quiet" DISPLAY=:0.0 $CMDLINE "$1" 1>&1 | logger exit

Note the XAUTHORITY variable being set because I run VDR as root and debian will not allow access to the DISPLAY without that.
Thanks!
