[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 876501, member: 82144"] Yes, I understand that. I'm just proposing alternatives. I mean, MP can be configured to run in Windowed mode too, and you could disable all plugins except TV/radio and possibly configure MP to start in the TV plugin somehow. Not saying it is the best option - just that it could be an option. A playlist in VLC - one entry for each channel? VLC also has a program guide in the tools menu, but unfortunately it won't work as TV Server strips the EPG PIDs and only writes/passes the minimum necessary to view the channel. 16 simultaneous streams at 10 Mbps (average HD) = 160 Mbps = 20 MBps That is very doable with a single 7200rpm drive which might reach 150 MBps peak sequential read. The write speed would probably be the limitation. CPU load will increase a little, but not too much. The streams are not decoded on the server. [/QUOTE]
