Looks like the plugin has some kind of dummy player open. If I remember
right, housekeeping tasks are not handled (by design) when you have a
player open.

I think I had to work around similar issues when I wrote suspendoutput
plugin. It was quite a while ago (2005-09-20: Added vdr idle actions)
so I don't remember all the details anymore ...

Anyway, the plugin is relatively simple:
http://phivdr.dyndns.org/vdr/vdr-suspendoutput/suspendoutput-2.1.0/susp
endoutput.c

Housekeeping tasks are handled in MainThreadHook() and
CheckInactivityTimer().
