Key commands not working #3

I am unable to control omxplayer by key commands when running this script, either through usb keyboard or piping in the command. I am using your fork of omxplayer and have pexpect installed. Is this a known issue?

Currently the script doesn't forward keystrokes from a user on an interactive session to the omxplayer process. You would need to monitor keystrokes in omxplayer-sync and forward them to the pexcpect omxplayer process instance. The primary aim of the solution is to be run unattended. This would be great enhancement nevertheless.
