I don't think that updating menus from other threads is allowed by design. My suggestion is to take a look on how the dynamic updating recordings menu works in vdr-1.3.33 and newer. Basically, a background thread collects the data, and the foreground thread updates the menu on the next ProcessKey(kNone) call. Cheers, Udo
