Normally, in case satellite tuning is fine, VLC and LMS behave exactly the same. Yes, there are always two overlapping HTTP connections, with one being closed shortly after channel switch. The behaviour is only different if the satellite tuner does not provide audio. It seems to be some kind of intermediate state for LMS - as I said you can't even pause the stream because there is none - it displays still "Connection being established'. And then, you realize younger nothing, and want to switch to another channel, and LMS does request the new HTTP, but does not close the old one..... VLC instead does. Yes, the streaming server accepts multiple connections, but it can only provide multiple channels from the one transponder it is tuned to. It cannot tune to two transponders at a time, but it in principle provide all channels from one transponders. Of course at a certain stage there will be also performance issues of the RasPi.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ schup011's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66557 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112774 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
