I believe that the easy fix would be to have these methods return 0 only when playing a recording. Can the plugin detect this somehow?

For live TV, VDR runs a transfer thread and the replaying device may use cDevice::Transferring() to detect this (works at least for vdr-xine in cXineDevice::SetPlayMode() for PlayMode being != pmNone).

Thanks, I knew there had to be some way. Softdevice used to blank the screen after a few seconds of missing video stream (tuned to an audio channel). A fix was introduced so that it wouldn't blank the screen when a recording was paused.
