Dear, Community.

Thank you for making useful streaming application.

I am new in MediaPortal and I have some questions:

1. When I created MediaPortal Server and successively made streaming to 2 clients, in every client of MediaPortal TV I could choose not only stream from server but from client. Does it mean that MediaPortal work via p2p model?

2. What bandwidth needed per 1 channel and what quality will be?

3. Is it possible to stream from server to Android device, if yes, what are applications?

Hi and welcome sirukm!

1. When I created MediaPortal Server and successively made streaming to 2 clients, in every client of MediaPortal TV I could choose not only stream from server but from client. Does it mean that MediaPortal work via p2p model?

No, it just means that each client can see all the streams from the server, including the streams that other clients are using. MP is *definitely* client-server, *not* P2P.

2. What bandwidth needed per 1 channel and what quality will be?

For digital TV, bandwidth and quality depend entirely on the broadcaster. SD channels are usually between 2 and 5 mega bit per second; HD is usually between 7 and 15 mega bit per second.

3. Is it possible to stream from server to Android device, if yes, what are applications?

Yes. aMPdroid.
