[vdr] still image at end of replay

2014-04-09 Thread Peter Münster
Hi,

Here a little feature request:

Problem: the children are watching a recording, and at the end VDR
switches to normal live TV, that can be anything. I have to be there at
the right moment to turn off the screen and the sound, in order to bring
them to leave the tv-room.

I would be nice, if VDR could turn off the sound at the end of a replay
and show a still image (e.g. Children, go to bed now!).

What do you think about that?

Hello!

 What do you think about that?

I'd appreciate the same for my significant other (and me).
No joke!

Ciao,

It should be possible to make a quite simple plugin which would do this. The 
cStatus-class in status.h has a function Replaying which is called when replaying 
starts or stops. Implementing this function in a plugin would allow to do the 
necessary things i.e. turning off the sound with 
cDevice::PrimaryDevice()-ToggleMute() and using something derived from for 
example the pictures-plugin to show a still image. As this should be rather simple 
I'll look into it during the weekend and see if I'll manage to make a working 
plugin.

Why don't you just tell your kids to turn the tv off when their show
is over? This really sounds like something that should be solved in
parenting and not code.
