IIRC we already had this discussion some time ago. The point is that you're not supposed to call any of the skin functions from a thread. These functions are only supposed to be called by VDR itself.

how else can a plugin display a message or ask a question? since cInterface::Confirm() also calls Skins.Message(), I suppose Confirm() is also illegal for plugins?

this is how muggle has always been doing this:

#if VDRVERSNUM >= 10307 Skins.Message (mtInfo, buffer,duration); Skins.Flush (); #else Interface->Status (buffer); Interface->Flush (); #endif

and

if (!Interface->Confirm(tr("Import items?"))) return false;
