I have checked it again and now I know that in fact, it does not block. Sorry... It
seems that I am not familiar enough with the exception handling...

Ok. I was not aware of the fact, that nukkumaatti never will shut down if the user
pressed a button. It only shuts down if the user never pressed a button.

...but it also does not shut down if you want to record something starting in about
half an hour, but you want to go to bed immediately. I.e. you have hit a key on your
remote to schedule the recording.
I am currently trying to write a plugin which can be used instead of the base.shutdown
plugin normally used by freevo to handle the "shutdown" command in the main menu. This
way, I can shut down freevo in a cleaner way than just shutting down the system. I
also want to check if the system is ready to shut down when the user chooses
"shutdown" from the main menu.

Thorsten
