Hey,
Atm when you change channel, the connection stops, and then connects again with the new channel = takes a long time to change channel (I am using it over the internet, tv server is in another city, however i'ts a 100 mbit server and I have a 100 mbit connection).
So I was thinking wouldn't it be possible to keep the connection by changing the channel on the server rather than caching new video/audio on the client, using fx mediaportal's timeshift function?
The only problem I can think of is that if the server is connected by more than 1, the stream will be the same for everybody = guy1 changes to channel1, guy2 will also be watching channel1.
However if it's possible then maybe it can cut away some excess/irritating waiting. It could maybe be a seperate plugin/addon.
I hope I am not proposing a stupid suggestion
Btw I'm using Margro's XBMC Eden RC1.
