I still cannot follow your reasoning as the user can already disable the automatic shutdown feature. Do you want to remove this option completely, rename it or change its' behaviour? The shutdown could be changed to a standby/powersave mode: the stream decoding will be turned off instead of poweroff. VDR's MANUAL: "Setting MinUserInactivity to 0 disables the automatic shutdown, while still retaining the possibility to manually shutdown the computer." -- rofa
