The above can be addressed in plugins that are derived from cDevice.
However, you're right about breaking that feature: if PlayVideo() and
PlayAudio() start refusing data when Shutdown.IsUserInactive() holds,
the playback will never end, and VDR would probably wait
MinUserInactivity (3 hours by default) until shutdown.

So, I have a feature request that would greatly improve the WAF around
here.  Could you please introduce a configuration option that would
allow the Power key to initiate shutdown even while playing a recording
(provided that nothing else prevents a shutdown, of course)?  After all,
it does initiate shutdown when viewing live program without waiting
until the end of the current program.

The problem in our family is that my wife often watches recorded
children's programs with my kids, and they may try to shut down VDR
while the credits texts are running.  It'd be an extra step to press
the Stop button before Power.
