Feature #145
openAdd possibility to turn plugin on/off with svdrp
100%
Description
This feature allows releasing the dxr3 device for another program.
It's already implemented in patch found in this thread http://forum.mymediasystem.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=526
This is really useful with htpc menu application like MMS where you need to give access to dxr3 to other software than vdr also, but have vdr running in background for recording.

This is already implemented in dxr3 plugin version 0.2.9.
However, Christian removed it in git:
http://projects.vdr-developer.org/repositories/revision/plg-dxr3/ecc3dd09be579348e8a17e968415fecaaed47d84
From the commit message:
"If somebody who needs them give me an example usage for these commands, I will bring them back."
So, Christian, here you go ;)

I downloaded the 0.2.9 version, I assumed the code is the same there as the one you put back to version control.
It works ok most of the time, like the patch from mms forum that I used before. It's just occasionally I get crashes with both this and the patch. And it's pretty annoying when watching dvd. Im not sure the problem is in vdr / dxr3 plugin but it looks like dxr3 plugin would try to access em8300 even though the plugin is turned off (could this be possible?). I will attach some log I if you could get any ideas:

No its a rewrite... so check out current git and give us again feedback.

Ok, I tried running the snapshot but now it crashes immediately after the svdrp command switching the plugin off:
