Did you read INSTALL section REMOTE LEARNING MODE?

Please give me a hint if you find that INSTALL respectively MANUAL lack 
a piece of information :-(

vdr-xine's remote (which you activate by "-r") doesn't need learning as 
there is a fix relationship between VDR commands and the available 
actions in xine.

So all you need to do is to assign keys to the new actions (named 
VDR...) in xine's keybinding dialog. Be aware that there are a couple of 
actions that are shared with xine (e. g. "0" .. "9"). See MANUAL for 
details. Make sure that you compiled xine-ui with --enable-vdr-keys!

BTW: as VDR entered remote learning mode it seems that you either 
compiled VDR with REMOTE=LIRC or without NO_KBD=1. For the later case 
VDR wants to learn key presses from the terminal where you started VDR 
from. This has nothing to do with any keys pressed in xine's window.

Bye.
