JRVR playback failure

<< < (2/2)

Hendrik:
MC to MC streaming when initiated from the client does not use the DLNA options. It uses the options in the Media Network -> Client Options section, so that the client is in full control what it requests.
When controlling this from the server, of course the server is in control, since it pushes a stream for the client to play (it doesn't say "play this file however you want", it basically says "play this stream"). Hence the difference between behavior.

Note that this wouldn't actually help with BDMV, since BDMV is not supported on Linux at all, since playback of those is powered by LAV Splitter on windows.

and this applies regardless of whether playback is initiated by the server (send to zone) or client?

Hendrik:
No, the server does not care what the client wants, the server is in control of whats going to be played. Its not asking it nicely to play a certain file, its giving it a direct stream URL to play.

sorry I completely missed the "when initiated from the client" part of your previous post, thanks for explaining.

If you've removed that one, I'm not sure which one it would use (maybe the topmost one)?

Just on this point, if there is no association MC will use the first (topmost) server.
