you can do part of it with the VDR shutdown script.

vdr -s /path/to/vdrshutdown

On timeout VDR ist starting the scipt and if the script returns then the
Timeout starts over again.


vdrshutdown could be something like this :
#!/bin/bash

# if vdr2div is running don't shutdown
[ `ps -ef | grep -e "/wait2enc.sh"| grep -c -v grep` -ne 0 ] && \
if [ -s /usr/local/src/VDRtmp/JobQ ]; then
  logger vdr2divx Job running - VDR is not stopped !!
  exit 0
fi

shutdown -h now


But testing the replay of recording/DVD is difficult. You could try looking
in the syslog for messages saying that it is replaying. Have fun trying ..

Greetings
Christian
