merging streams for 2 channels request

[syralk]

just a quick note
when 2 people watch the same channel its using 2 different stream instead of using the same one
to use only one stream in this scenario
thanks

+1 to use multi-rec whenever possible for live tv even with tuners, not just when tuners are not available.

Most people using IPTV have like 100's or 1000's of channels, and it didn't seem worth the effort (and complications it causes for the code) for those rare occasions that two clients are watching the same channel.

It is still on my todo list though, just not a high priority.

I expect that even with 1000's of channels, households will do the same thing as the do with 100's of channels on cable, they while primarily focus on the traditional network shows, a few premium channels and a few kids or sports channels. Young people will probably just use their phones and not bother with NextPVR.

Recording might be a little different but that takes work.

Shared buffer should also allow 2nd user to extended rewind...
