I think it is not impossible to do it like this, however the softdevice would have to be changed accordingly, so if you want to do this or find someone who volunteers to do this there should be no problem.
That was my original idea. But, after some though (and Stefan's reluctance), X ressources (which is dedicated to user interaction) and a daemon (which does its best not to interact with a user) don't really fit well together.
If not you could set up a second X server to be used with vdr which is started at startup of vdr and use Marko Mäkeläs suspend patch to suspend the output while your not watching.
Hmm.. My computer is the only computer at home. We use it for a lot other application than only vdr. Setting up a dedicated X server will waste some ressource. I'll try other solutions first.
Or you use vdr-xine which is probably more what you are looking for.
I may be mistaken, but the doc mentions something like a 1.2s delay. Is this true also with the OSD ? I mean, do you get this 1.2s delay when you press a key on your remote ?
Thanks
