It looks like your card decodes live video completely independent of VDR. Thus, my patch might only be beneficial to softdevice or perhaps dxr3 users. (I don't know if the power consumption and heat dissipation of the dxr3 depends on whether it is decoding anything.) > > I would expect the suspend flag to work when viewing recordings. > > Did you test it?

It might not be the most intuitive way, but with my limited knowledge of vdr internals I couldn't come up with anything better. At the very least, the picture should really be blanked, because it will just freeze on full-featured cards and dxr3. Softdevice will freeze the picture practically immediately and blank the screen in a few seconds, but OSD will still work. I understand very well why my patch cannot be incorporated in the stable 1.4 series. I hope that a better solution can be developed for vdr 1.5. Marko
