Not as far as I know, but it should be possible with a quite simple
plugin, even for a plugin-beginner:
- do newplugin to create a vanilla plugin
- Add code to derive an object from cStatus, eg.
class cMyStatus : public cStatus { .... }
- Add the ChannelSwitch method, from there call SystemExec(), found in
thread.h
- Create an instance (ptr=new cMyStatus()) of this object in the plugin
start method, and destroy it in the stop method.
The script you call with SystemExec should terminate quicky, since it
will block VDR. If you need more time, you can call stuff with & in your
script.
Cheers,
