[Live-devel] Trick play on Amino 110

ok, tried that. the "accelerated" video stream (scale 3) plays correctly
on the amino box. I have scale in /mnt/nv/config.txt also set to 3.

that would mean that an unaccelerated stream should be fast forwarded
absolutely the same way as the output file from
testMPEG2TransportStreamTrickPlay.exe, no?

Sorry if you got the impression that I'm complaining about anything. The
fact that the box is working with ovs but not with live555 made me
believe that this would be the right place to ask questions.
Actually, I think it's really great work you accomplish, especially when
regarding the fact that your software is free.

So, complaining about anything really was the last thing I intended and
your help is very much appreciated.
I just thought it would be also of interest to you if your server was
able to handle a larger variety of clients. So if I can be of any help
to you in extending your software to work with amino (or adb, I also
work with ADB-3800TW but that box will be tested in a few days) clients,
I'd be really glad.

Thanks
