    + +Normally a plugin only reacts on user input if directly called through its +main menu entry, or performs some background +activity in a separate thread. However, sometimes a plugin may need to do +something in the context of the main program thread, without being explicitly +called up by the user. In such a case it can implement the function + +

    +virtual void MainThreadHook(void);
+

    + +in which it can do this. This function is called for every plugin once during +every cycle of VDR's main program loop, which typically happens once every +second. +Be very careful when using this function, and make sure you return from it +as soon as possible! If you spend too much time in this function, the user +interface performance will become sluggish! +
