I will think about that. It is not straightforward, because the suspension works at a very low level, completely independently of the high-level player functions. (Can you say 'hack'?) The "Suspended" message would have to change location every few seconds, in order to avoid burning the message on the screen. I'm afraid I have no idea how to do this in vdr. > With softdevice & x11 it could be also feasible to allow xscreensaver to > handle the screen when entering suspended mode and vice versa when > leaving suspension but that would probably need to go to softdevice x11 > plugin internals. Yes, that definitely is in the domain of softdevice. What could be done relatively easily is a patch to softdevice that would listen to cStatus::SetSuspended() and activate or deactivate the screensaver accordingly. Marko
