Hi,

The thing is not yet available, so the current SVN doesn't contain most of the new code. But in general it uses the same "reel"vdr-base as the Avantgarde (just with a different output plugin for the SoC). The live TV streaming is not done by the vdr on the Avantgarde, but directly via IPv6-multicast by the NetCeiver-hardware. This is the same way the Avantgarde gets its data, so the NetCeiver traffic is just bridged into the LAN for other clients.
I have no netceiver to play with and didn't look at the sources. But it's nice to see a real world use for IPv6 in consumer hardware (if you can call the reel boxes consumer hardware, it's probably only for a limited, but sophisticated market. Does it just use a fixed multicast-address to receive the stream and if yes, how is the communication to the tuner realized? Is this something reel-specific or could this be used to start a unified streaming-concept for vdr based on standards (and using IPv6 to avoid all that ugly IPv4 stuff...)
A very interested Matthias
