Can the /live?channel=X url only use one tuner?

[bgowland]

sub - if you look at this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...-one-tuner it seems when a second nDroid app tries to stream LiveTV, the first is cut-off. Is this expected behaviour?

The only way I know to get a Live TV stream from the npvr web server is

Code:

server:port/live?channel=X

or to use the 'transcode URL. Is it only possible to use one tuner?

To support multiple tuners and multiple clients you need &client=uniqueID otherwise the web server will assume it is the same client.

Thanks Martin but could you expand on that? Is uniqueID quite literally a unique identifier of some sort? I could pull the MAC address and use that as an identifier.

There's an AP(I) for that...not near my PC so can't check but something has a get client identifier method...PluginHelper somethingorother probably...

Very droll.

The problem is, if I get what Martin is saying, I need to have the nDroid app provide a unique ID of some sort...I think?

Brian that's correct, a MAC address would do it, if you aren't doing PIP.

OK, thanks Martin. Working on it now.
