Sebastian, perhaps you could give us more details as to why there is a lack of ff/rw/pause on livetv at the moment, and also why the channel changes are slow?
As dvb-daemon is completely based on gstreamer both features have to be implemented in gstreamer, too. For streaming I use the rather new gst-rtsp-server library. It's in a early state so it hasn't seen much performance optimizations so far. The goal was to first get the basic features right. As I said I'm aware that the huge delay when switching channels is a big downside for some users and it definitely has to improve. But I don't see this happen in the next 2-3 months unless someone else helps in this area.
About the time-shifting issue: There's currently no gstreamer element to do this. My job is to look at the queue2 element and extend it in a way that time-shifting becomes possible. I haven't looked into the details, yet, but I'm going to start working on this in next couple of weeks.
Therefore, both issues require work in external libraries. -- Greetings, Sebastian Pölsterl
