Setup: video source connected to analog inputs of HDPVR2 on server in closet. Running NextPVR 3.5.7 on Windows 10.

I'd like to be able to view the stream from that tuner in two other rooms simultaneously. I can start one stream in VLC using a link like http://192.168.10.100:8867/live?channel=2, however if I try to start a second stream from a different PC (using that same URL) the first stream stops.

I've looked through the config files, but I haven't found anything that addresses simultaneous connections. Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so, how I can enable it?

Thanks.
You need to add a "client=" identifier with some unique string so it can tell one session from the other.

Excellent. Thank you!
