The Unicast Streaming works flawlessly ( for me )

The Multicast Streaming works good with mplayer as client ( compiled
with --disable-live ) and even if the caching process seems to hang (
the cache filling counter stops counting ;) ) after a little while the
player begins to play the stream ( with no need to stop and restart
streaming, as i reported in a previous mail ), sometimes errors appear
in mplayer, something like "stream not seekable".

There are few problems:
If i set fixed channel and change channel regardlessly, the client stops
playing; if i return on the original streamed channel, the player resume
playing, but some errors appear ( RTP packet sequence error ).

There is a request:
Is possible to use the "time shifting" capabilities of vdr in streaming
patch? I try to explain with an example because of my limited knowledge
of english.  :)
Imagine I start to stream RAI1, the client plays RAI1.
I would like to be able to change channel on the server to RAI2 ( on the
same transponder of RAI1 ) while client(s) continues to view RAI1.
Maybe ScienceFiction ;)

I hope someone understood me.

Maybe in my University Campus ;)

I'm not able to use ffmpeg stream, can you post your ffserver.conf ?

Thanks for this really great ( maybe not yet ;) ) plugin.

Angelus.
