Sharing info is always good. I need to look at this in more detail but AFAICT all but one uses of TTL_EXPIRE relate to the RTMP Flash protocol and not HLS. So if it is helping HLS playback - it needs to be checked that it does not cause problems for Flash (i.e. Extras plugin) playback. A more precise patch (e.g. Two different TTL_EXPIRE constants) is needed. When making a change I prefer to add instrumentation to see before and after changes and also which parts of the code are being executed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
