If you wish to debug it further, uncomment DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT=unlimited at end of /etc/sysconfig/vdr and watch if core dumps start to appear in /tmp.
I'll give it a try. Would -t switch be helpfull with shutdown?
No idea, I've never used that switch myself.
One possibly way to find out if the abort is because of some plugin is to watch /var/log/messages when shutting down vdr and to see what the last output before "runvdr: VDR exited with status ..." is. If it's not "vdr: [...] exiting" but rather "vdr: [...] stopping plugin: foo" or "vdr: [...] deleting plugin: foo", it's pretty likely that the foo plugin is somehow involved.
I am compiling vdr my self mostly because I like Soppalusikka :) I think there was some other reason(s) as well but I can not recall what :) I had newer actually read the README.package and it was wery illuminating. Maybe I'll have to start using readymade packages and give up using Soppalusikka :(
I don't think soppalusikka (in case you're referring to the skin) requires any patches to vdr, so it should be usable and buildable with the packaged version too. Some dirs are obviously a bit different than in the install instructions, but README.package and "rpm -ql vdr" should help with those.
