It will at least stop calling Active() when VDR is running normally, and is far away from automatic shutdown. > What about making cPluginManager::Active() remember the last state of > plugin activity, and, if Prompt is NULL, only call the individual plugins' > Active() functions if, say, one minute has passed since the last check? Sounds ok to me. One minute is close enough to avoid an idle machine running on, and not too often so a plugin can do more complex checks, for example call an external script to search for activity.
