[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 1255130, member: 83973"] I don't think TV Server does treat the padding differently - it's the 'tuner', the nature of the streams and how it's handled that's different. With DVB-T/C/S tuners, what it actually electrically 'tunes' is a multi-program/channel transport stream (a 'mux'). Then TV Server parses the packets for an individual TV channel out of it and writes that single-program 'sub-channel' stream to disk (timeshift buffer file or recording). If you have an overlapping recording/timeshift for the same channel it just creates a new 'sub-channel' stream, so there are multiple copies of the 'channel' running internally. Same thing happens if you watch/record a different TV channel on the same 'mux'. That way there is no need for 'soft padding'. My understanding (but I don't know very much about how the DVB-IP stuff works in TV Server) is that each DVB-IP 'tuner' in TV Server can only handle one individual IP stream at a time, and it can't do the 'sub-channel copy' trick to create multiple copies of the same stream for recording/timeshifting. Have you tried having multiple DVB-IP tuners (with the same channels mapped to them) in TV Server? [/QUOTE]
