Weired... It doesn't actually send anything to VDR; it'll just return 0 from cDevice::PlayVideo() and cDevice::PlayAudio(). It will also have to sleep a little, because otherwise VDR would use 100% of CPU. > I guess the most natural behavior would be to pretend that you're > playing back normally, eg. make softdevice eat the incoming data stream > at normal speed without decoding it. Well, that would still break this scenario: You're watching a recording while it is being recorded. Then you get interrupted and push the Power button. Before the timed recording finishes and VDR gets a chance to shut down, you get back and push a button to switch to interactive state. You will be surprised to see that the playback doesn't resume from the same position. > >Then, VDR wouldn't shut down unexpectedly while playing back > >a recording even if the inactivity timeout kicks in.

Before writing my previous message, I added #if 0 #endif around the NowReplaying() check in shutdown.c, and it seems to work. VDR will be powered off during playback if there is no timed recording going on. > But again, that way you cannot get VDR into inactive mode manually while > playback. Is that feature necessary? If you believe so, maybe you could introduce a configuration option for enabling it? The default behaviour would be to obey the Power button immediately. The option could be named something like "Shutdown during playback must be confirmed". Marko
