We had this discussion before, and since the majority of VDRs continues to display live video, I don't think that this should be part of VDR itself, and I don't really want to extend this patch into the deeper parts of cDevice. To de-tune live devices, a plugin could display a still, like streamdev-server does, to free up devices. > Actually, it'd be nice to turn off any unneeded tuners, also > during interactive use (multi-tuner setups, or watching recordings). Unneeded tuners get de-tuned. Provide there are unneeded tuners. (I know that my primary FF card tuner gets de-tuned if I play back a recording.) Cheers, Udo
