The folks at OpenELEC say that this is an upstream issue, so I'd like to ask for input here.
There is a problematic behaviour with how XBMC handles a shutdown while recording TV, which results in a broken recording.
System: x86 PC with an MCE remote control, OpenELEC 4.2.1 with vdr-addon and imon-mce installed.
To reproduce: Set a TV timer or go to "Live TV" and start a recording. While vdr is still recording TV, touch the power button of the remote control.
What happens: XBMC turns off, cutting off vdr in the middle of the recording.
Why this is a problem: While a user is watching a movie file with XBMC, it's possible that a vdr timer will start recording TV in the background, unaware to the user. If the user switches off OE after watching the movie file, the vdr timer's recording will be broken.
Feature request: While recording TV, XBMC should not turn off with a single press of the power button. Instead, it should show a warning, something like e.g.
Shutdown canceled:
Still recording Live TV 'Star Trek TNG Episode 23'.
Press [Power] twice now to force shutdown.
