I do understand that. I just think it might be helpful to not
simply say it is forbidden but to enforce it instead of
segfaulting.
Considering the enormous amount of plugins there will always be
some plugin developers trying to do forbidden things and if a
user tells them "sometimes vdr restarts but I have no idea why"
it is almost impossible to debug that.
If you take my original two patches you could do
void cSkinClassicDisplayMessage::Flush(void)
{
if (osd)
osd->Flush();
else
warn: background thread is not allowed to access osd
}
Otherwise I believe I understand what you propose and it seems
to be a good solution to me.
