I do it without a plugin by using the "Commands" menu. It simply calls
sensors and the result is automatically displayed in the OSD. If you
like, you could format it a little using sed or whatever...

I don't think that this should be the job of a VDR plugin... but it
should be no problem to check that and execute a shutdown if something
gets too hot using some simple scripts.

In this context the only plugin/feature I am thinking of would be (I
don't know if something exists already) to display any message of an
external program (e.g., given by a special command at the VDR port).
