Hi,

the Timeshifting issue of the clients is definitely a problem. I think one solution could be, to let each client buffer his recieved stream in a file, and just allow him to timeshift within this file...
I still think, and agree there with you, that a client-app and a server-app is necessary!
All other solutions will just be tinkered solutions...

So can anyone explain me / post me informative links about these DirectShow stuff?
What is the Problem with a graph for each client?

Wont it make most sense to just stream the file to the Network, no matter how many clients recieve this? So as soon as the first client connects to MP, the streaming starts( maybe just start streaming the timeshifting file - so only if timeshift is active, streaming is possible). Therby, we could implement the ability to use timeshifting features(Pause, FWD, REW, etc.) on the server, but with effect for every client who uses this "Timeshifting file"...
Is MP already able, if multiple TV-Cards are available to timeshift multiple channels? Because then you could give the client the option to choose, which card he wants to use!

What do you think?

Cheers
Tom
