Hi list,
I've finished a third version of the shutdown rewrite. Again there are
two patches available, one for VDR 1.5.0, and one with slight changes
for 1.4.x.

I would suggest to rename NextWakeupEvent() to WakeupTime(), because
there isn't really an "event" involved, and the word "event is generally
used in a different context (for EPG events). Plus, the individual
plugin only has a single wake-up time, so there's no need for "

First, and more important: Can you please suspend the playback of

the playback ends. Also, this wo

It does. The typical use case is that you pause live video or start
a recording with a timer, then start watching it while it is still
recording, so that you can skip commercial breaks. Then you get
interrupted while watching it. It would be very handy to push the

Actually I would press the pause button, as I usually don't want to miss
anything. And then the playback should be halted anyway, no matter if
display is on or off.
But you surely would power the display off, to avoid burning the still

How about a new two level inactivity timeout ?
After VDR starts the inactivity timeout uses a first short timeout (e.g.
5min) assuming that VDR has automaticly being started.
Actually, even in worst case you'll see the 5-minute-countdown, so you
already have enough time

Dammed, they've busted the server.

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.
While playback, the cur

You can shut down while playback, you just have to confirm it. And if
you don't confirm it, VDR will shut down 5 minutes after the playback ends.
Sure, if the playback ends. It won't end with my patched softdevice

Well, that would still break this scenario: You're watching a recording

Also, the user "inactivity" stuff is again, a bad idea. Vdr should not
assume anything or take action just because the user hasn't interacted
with it in a while. This type of behavior is simply not consistent with
other devices and not a behavior the user would expect. My tv

There is no reason to behave otherwise unless
it's done thru some kind of "auto-shutoff? [y/n]" setting.
As said above, its called "Min User Inactivity" and can be set to 0.
Also, a coffee-maker is not a device used for entertainment purposes.
Nobody turns their coffee-maker

Then there's the upgrade restart, which should be available via a signal. The
actual restart should be deferred if VDR is currently busy. (It is *possible*
to implement this via runvdr, but it's a lot easier to handle if VDR can
re-exec itself.)

I guess the only situation that may cause a problem is if the VDR never
shuts down, eg. has no shutdown script at all. It must have some "Min User

The user inactivity setting isn't relevan

We re-define SIGHUP, so that it doesn't terminate VDR instantly, but
instead checks for activity. If user and vdr is inactive, act just like
sigterm, if there's some activity, ignore the signal.
An external script could then repeat sending the SIGHUP periodically until

Hi list,
I've updated the runvdr extreme script to version 0.2.
runvdr extreme is a runvdr script, just like the runvdr script included
in the VDR distribution. Additionally, it supports configuration files,
lots of command line options and more features.

If I'm pressing 'OK' here, does it continue the shutdown or running the

I don't like it either, but didn't come up with a good other idea for
this. For consistency it should be "Plugi

Anyone know a good reference on how to write VDR plugins?
There's not much available, sorry.
You can start by taking a look at the PLUGINS.html, then just start with
a test plugin. The newplugin script will generate one for you.
From there, its a matter of trying. For so
