I usually do it differently, though: write the stream to disk and let the player read the file. That way you also get time shifting (which doesn't work when you use a pipe). And if you use a low priority for live viewing, scheduled recordings will take precedence. Writing a plug-in based on dvbcat would be another option. That might also allow you to switch channels on the fly (if the other channel is accessible, that is - one of the reasons why I use multiple receivers). > Also at some time soon I would need to stream some DVB signals.

If they use UDP multicast (the standard way of media streaming), they never know who's listening. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <michael.riepe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
