Re: VDR wird in 3:00 Minuten ausschalten

Hello,

yes, i agree that there is no chance for VDR to know if an upcoming shutdown 
will succeed or not.

But still it does not make sense on my system as the message now pops up every 
5 minutes.  It is really very annoying if i sometimes use VDR to just watch 
TV.  I would much better like it if VDR shuts down with no message than seeing 
this message every 5 minutes.
To my understanding, making this a configuration option would make everybody 
happy and would maybe even be easier than writing a plugin.


Best regards
Torsten
