I'd say the following things are required: - Use UDP instead of TCP for streaming (is it just switching from SOCK_STREAM to SOCK_DGRAM or do we need to do something more, e.g. fixed/max. packet sizes?) - Provide some way to select the channel for multicast transmission and stop it when it's no longer needed (probably via streamdev http server menu. Or do these kinds of settop boxes support some sort of control protocol to enable/disable the stream?)
