I asked Martin Otten about this some time ago, he told me this:
"To start a "lightweight" HLTV server, slave proxy just start srcds but without loading a map, just add "hltv_connect ip:port". These relay proxies doesn't load any resources like maps or models, so they are "cheap" resource wise.
SRC HLTV is naked right now. Once CS:S networking is stable (it already is quite stable), more and more features will be added. If people use sv_hltv 1 on their server to record demos, but don't want people to connect as spectators, they can set 'hltv_maxclients 0'. I will add a a new command "hltv_relayonly" to allow only other relay proxies to the master server and not spectators.
So to have HLTV on SRC as it was in HL1, start the server with "sv_hltv 1", "hltv_maxclients 1" and then start another SRCDS without map, "hltv_connect server:port" and then this second SRCDS is the like the master proxy in HL1."
I dont think its perfect, but atleast its better than nothing.

But then the Customers need a solution to use their own HLTV Server or free HLTV Server�s from blank-tv or hltv.org. At the moment it�s impossible to connect with an HLTV Server to an other Gamerserver, if the integrated HLTV on the Gamerserver is not running :/
Although those commands are useful, server companies need a way to disable hltv altogether so customers cant just activate it from rcon or a config file.
hltv_port doesn't seem to work in the command line.

Do you mean this? hltv_stop - stops HLTV broadcasting hltv_stoprecord - stops recording (even if hltv_autorecord is 1)
If you mean UDP listening on (default) channel 27020, have you tried "hltv_port 0"? I did not tried yet, but it may work...

Hi all,
Is there any mean to deactivate the sv_hltv cvar ?
By deactivate, I *don't* mean to set it to 0, because it could be set to 1 by customers. It should exist a srcds flag like "-nohltv" so that it would not listen at all. I hope it will be fixed, as nothing should be enabled instead it is said so.
Thanks in advance,
