Now I press OK to override this warning "shutdown anyway". But: Nothing happens. VDR doesn't shutdown because: A wakeup time is sent to the shutdown script that is too early. This is bad because: - VDR didn't do what I told it to do (not a serious flaw, but...) - I share a line with an analog receiver. If my VDR doesn't shutdown, either VDR gets unstable (I may loose recordings for this week) or the analog receiver can't receive (I will loose all recordings, because the users will unplug VDR or shut it down or do worse). A solution: When, on shutting down, a user clearly overrides a timer, the next timer after this should be sent to the shutdown script instead. An implementation of this is available at: http://www.vis.ethz.ch/~robert/VDR/vdr-1.1.28-shutdown.time-0.2.diff.gz Patch with : patch -p4 < zcat vdr-1.1.28-shutdown.time-0.2.diff.gz in the VDR directory. This patch was developed and tested on vdr-1.1.28, and seems to work up to version 1.1.31 (I use it with these versions). It can be applied to vdr-1.1.32 and will probably work with it, too.
