Force channel change

brucesm · 2007-12-14, 04:12

Hi,
is there a setting to allow a client to force a channel change?

I would like to be able to force a channel change from any client even if there is no free tuner.
(eg:1 tuner, 4 clients any client can change the channel at any time.)
Maybe connect to and take over a stream?

Is there a feature to do this that I have missed?

thanks...

hi and welcome to the forums

There's nothing like that at the moment, but there was talk of building in a priority system for clients, so some can outrank others, but I have no idea if or when this will be implemented.

Cheers,
Marcus.

k, thanks.
I will keep a look out.
It is a pain to turn off in one room to change channel in another...
