I will give your suggestion a try: in the MainThreadHook of each plugin, poll Shutdown.IsUserInactive(). > Actually, the key press lets the VDR main loop spin, and directly after > the key press was handled, there's a call to MainThreadHook, so its not > that long. Okay, this sounds reasonable. It is also good that every plugin will notice the change of Shutdown.IsUserInactive() virtually at the same time. One more thing: are the timeouts for interactive->inactive->shutdown configureable? Is there a way to force VDR to enter inactive mode without immediate shutdown? Marko
