There's another problem. It's not allowed to use Skins.Message() from within a thread other than the main thread. You should use QueueMessage() (available since vdr 1.3.37) instead (see attached patch). You may need to add some ifdef's to check for the correct vdr version. I'm afraid the Interface->Status() code for VDR < 1.3.14 will not work either.
