I think softhddevice uses the dummy player to receive keypresses, so it can exit from suspend on demand. But the full check in vdr.c is this: if ((Now - LastInteract) > ACTIVITYTIMEOUT && !cRecordControls::Active() && !RecordingsHandler.Active() && !Interface->HasSVDRPConnection() && (Now - cRemote::LastActivity()) > ACTIVITYTIMEOUT) { <start housekeeping> So, there is a separate check for active recordings, and user activity (cRemote).. I think I just remove the LastInteract check. I think it is not really useful on my current system anyway. I have a commercial detector running after each recording, and it will run no matter what.. There could be another active recording going, or playback or whatever. VDR housekeeping is a much lighter process. And currently the check works pretty much the wrong way around.. :) If softhddevice is suspended and vdr left "idle", it will never enter housekeeping because of the check. -- Teemu Suikki http://www.z-power.fi/ _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx https://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
