A solution I thought of was to put up a message after not confirming shutdown that VDR will shut down as soon as whatever is done - maybe even keeping that message on screen all the time. The idea of pressing power button twice is also nice, though it will confuse scripts that send power key presses. Plus, effectively, while you currently confirm shutdown with "power, ok", you now confirm with "power, power". And together with the other numerous reasons for not shutting down, this gets confusing: Use power button to override running timers, and use ok button to override timers in a few minutes? > - if a timer is pending within MinEventTimeout ask if he really wants to do so > but do *not* modify any timers or wakeup times.

Then we can also go back to what it was before, leave all timers alone and report wakeup in -30 minutes to the shutdown script. In the end it doesn't matter if any timers are running when VDR is killed. Cheers, Udo
