[vdr] Re: Experimental Live Streaming Patch for VDR 1.0.0
Hi,
I like this idea. I didn't test it yet (I have no Windows machine).
But what do you think implementing the opposite version as well ?
E.g. you switch to a specific "channel" (special play mode) to watch via
VDR/DVB a multicasted stream from network on your TV.
