TP scan and plug-ins

I'm testing DD 1.3 now.
And I found that some plug-ins do interfere with scan process (TS feeding to DVB dream crashes). Looks like it's a conflict between threads priorities (data streaming and plug-in).
I advise to do a TP scan WITHOUT any active plug-ins.
You can activate plug-ins after you finish a scan.

Already reported in beta testers forum, freezing sometimes, possible that it was at scrambled channels only - plugin activated.

ohh, missed that, sorry....
I just tried with my own driver (cause I have some debug traces there).
Driver constantly tries to resynch to the stream (I see debug messages in DbgView), as if some higher priority thread is "stealing" valuable time from driver.
And you are right, it's on scrambled channels only.

I will try to add an option for that.
but some plugins dont handle dynamically load/unload situation (They dont expect this since they are programmed by thinking of once initialization & once deinitialization during the application's whole run-time)
I will try to inspect problem. There might be another bug related to new version changes.

I can confirm, same TP - FTA channel - OK, scrambled channel - freezing.
