<dt>Why does Tvheadend deliver data over TCP to Movian? I thought it was
|
|
bad to use TCP for realtime sensitive traffic?
|
|
|

<dd>
|
|
'HTSP' - the protocol used for streaming TV, sending meta information
|
|
updates and RPC between Tvheadend and Movian uses a transmission
|
|
scheduler with multiple queues on the Tvheadend side. This means that
|
|
Tvheadend can measure the available bandwidth between itself and the
|
|
mediaplayer and when congestion happens it's even capable of dropping
|
|
less important data (such as B-frames). HTSP has been tested over WAN
|
|
links and DSL connections with zero picture/audio artifacts.
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's possible to get view drop statistics and bitrates directly in
|
|
Movian. (Open the menu when watching a TV-channel and switch on
|
|
'Detailed Information')
