[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 83974, member: 10347"] Can I suggest a further feature with regards to this? Instead of taking control immediately when someone on a client presses 'take control', can we have it so that when one client does press 'take control', all clients watching that channel will be notified with a timeout message letting them object. If they do not object within the timeout (say 10 seconds) then it is assumed that they accept or are not there so ther channel can be changed. If they object, then the channel change doesn't happen. Of course, the timeout should be implemented on the server so that if a client has crashed and doesn't receive the message, it doesn't hold up the process. This should help prevent 'take control of the tv wars' in the future, unlike now when my mates just take the remote and hide it to gain 'control' :p Sam [/QUOTE]
