I'm not sure whether this will be a core feature of VDR, but maybe we can add the needed interfaces so this can be done with a plugin. I'm not yet sure how exactly the new shutdown code will look like, but I'm quite sure there will be a way to detect whether VDR is currently interactive (some user is watching) or not (unattended start, timer recording, no activity for x hours, power button pressed but not confirmed). Based on that, a plugin could probably take over the output device and suspend it or show a still. Or softdevice itself could react on this. Cheers, Udo
