DVBViewer implementing unwanted hibernate

[bigaluk]

DVBViewer has a "closedown" settings option in the options dialog that does not apper to do much. Whatever I set it to, the following "unwanted" behaviour persists:

 

I use Girder to intercept all handset inputs and implement actions as I wish. However, if DVBViewer is active, it appears to intercept the handset POWER button (whatever I do to prevent this) and converts the desired action (suspend to RAM) into an undesired action (suspend to DISK). As my system will only wake on a POWER button if it is in suspend-to-RAM, I find the DVBViewer behaviour to be most annoying. Is there any way to stop DVBViewer from taking on its self-ordained system management role and making it behave itself?

close DVBViewer before you go to standby.

close DVBViewer before you go to standby.

 

 

Believe it or not - I'd already thought of that

 

However, this was not not really the solution I was hoping for. I would have preferred be able to stop DVBViewer from converting a "Suspend-to-RAM" request from Girder into a "Suspend-to-DISK" operation: something thast it really has no excuse for doing.

 

The POWER button on the handset invokes the Girder shutdown event handling I have written, and the obvious action would be for Girder to close DVBViewer before invoking the actual shutdown action. I have already added a command to close MS Outlook in that handler (to prevent it from locking the NAS-held PST file). I shall be trying that with DVBViewer just as soon as my XML update to DVBViewer has finished (at this rate in a few hours time!)

 

However, if DVBViewer is intercepting the handset event and handling its own shutdown action before Girder gets a chance to, then even this will not work.

 

As for the obvious alternative of shutting DVBViewer by hand: It is annoying to have to remember to close DVBViewer "by hand" (i.e. via keyboard or mouse operations) first, since this destroys the whole benefit of using the handset to take the system down.
