Makes sense - that's the way how it's supposed to work when subscribing to an Internet multicast stream, i.e. accross router boundaries. With streamdev, each channel would become a multicast group of its own. Multicast IPs are not an issue here. The IPv4 Local Scope for multicast addresses is large enough. But how do you configure them in the box? Or does it listen to some sort of announcements (getstream2 sends SAP/SDP packets)? > The boxes also support HTML, so then can post data to a webpage, if the > channel was switched. I am not sure if all boxes support this. At least > the ADB boxes can do this. Some sort of user interface would be fine anyway.
