I was watching something via the mplayer plugin. A recording timer was triggered which aborted the mplayer playback. Is this behavior intentional? If so, can the abort be disabled while still allowing the timer to function properly? I know there's always the option of not watching anything else during a timer/recording event but I would suggest that defeats one of the main purposes of a recording in the first place, ...a means to allow you to watch a show at your own convenience. In this case it was not convenient to abort what I had already watching and was right in the middle of.
Thanks for your input fellas.

No, this cannot be done. The mplayer plugin is very special and exclusively uses the DVB devices. VDR cannot access them while mplayer is running.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Disappointing to hear since this is a common problem for me but I guess it is what it is. I do intend to add more dvb cards at some point so I suppose that would clear it up.
Thanks.
