"http streams" seem to have too much network overhead. My client
computer is on a 802.11B network and the stream seems to go to crap
with anything but RTSP. The idea right now (to get around client freeze
problem), is to have the client request a channel from the server, the
server then checks to see it it's recording, if it isn't than start up
the RTSP stream, if it is recording return a error code. I would really
like this to be hidden from the client computer. So the client computer
(running Freevo also) would just select a channel from the TV-guide and
then the server would provide the RTSP stream.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/29/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ow Mun Heng</b> <<a href="mailto:Ow.Mun.Heng@wdc.com">Ow.Mun.Heng@wdc.com</a>> wrote:</span>
