Hello all,
Is there a plugin for VDR (I use 1.7.1) that allows a windows based client to watch the channels remotely? What windows based clients can I use in that case?
Is there a network overhead for watching a stream? I mean if the stream is 5Mbit, will it take 5Mbit of my network or the traffic will take more? In case the client is used with a small window that can't show the whole picture, will the network load be reduced?
One option is the vomp plugin which has a client built to run under windows.
See: http://www.loggytronic.com/vomp.php
I've only had a quick play with the windows client but it worked reasonably well. I _think_ it will do both live TV and recordings but, as I say, it was a while back that I tried the windows client (I regularly use the MediaMVP client, though, and it works really well).
Other options might be streamdev and vlc?
Cheers,
