What I have done is lowered the priority to the streamdev-client in one room, and leaving the priority high in my main room. The main room RPI is powered by the TV USB port so with my programable remote I insert a 10 second delay between issuing the poweroff command to the rpi and powering off the TV (which removes power from the RPI). This seems to have resolved my contention issues.

Hi,
There's also the "suspendoutput" plugin. I don't know, where its
upstream is currently located, but it's available in
the yavdr-PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~yavdr/+archive/ubuntu/unstable-vdr/+sourcepub/4067463...
vdr-wiki is back online, here's the official source:

As far as I know it stops live TV so the device (streamdev-client in
this case) has no receivers anymore and the server
is free for another client.
Regards, Lars.

Thanks for the good info in this thread. I have done a couple of
things. I have configured irexec and the power off in
vdr to shutdown vdr on the client, and another button to start up vdr.
That seems to do the trick for the time being.
Also I've matched the framerate from video to TV and it is much better
- thanks Thomas!
I have 2 other issues with the RPI: On an older LCD with a buggy edid, when I turn off the TV, then turn it
back on I must reset the RPI at just the right
time to get video back. It doesn't seem to be sending an HDMI command
to reset (or whatever command it needs) at any
point. Also on this older TV, any non-2 channel audio is being heard. Anyone
know how to downgrade 5 or 6 channel sound to 2
channel for proper HDMI out?
Regarding shutdown based on whether the TV is on or not, perhaps CEC
could help in most instances. In my case with the
one older TV it wouldn't help but that's my problem. :)

Then resuming VDR would only take a fraction of a second... > In regards to the rpihddevice I am seeing some tearing or'flutter' when

rpihddevice supports the ScaleVideo() method, so in principle it'spossible to do it manually.
