I'd also say that the Power button should shutdown without confirmation unless there is a recording going on or a plugin is Active(). To avoid accidental shutdowns it might still prompt the user with "Shutdown - press any key to stay up" or something like that for a few seconds, but it shouldn't be necessary to confirm anything, even if a replay is currently going on.I appreciate your input on the issue, it seems that we're pretty much on the same page. I think your method of dealing with an accidental shutdown best suits the situation.
One question though... Say I have the sysinfo or femon plugin screen up, would this mean the plugin is Active() and would prevent a power button shutdown? This should not override a power button shutdown.
A plugin is considered "active" if its Active() function returns a string. So it's entirely up to the plugin whether or not it wants to prevent a shutdown. However, just having a plugin's menu screen open shouldn't mean the plugin is active. Plugin activity is something like burning a DVD or doing some other stuff that shouldn't be interrupted.
