DASH Extension for multiple streams #19

Closed SASR75 closed 5 years ago

SASR75 commented 5 years ago

If we have multiple streams at the server-side can we add multiple players (each player requesting a single stream over the same channel from the server) at the client-side? Will that is equivalent to a separate dash client for each of the stream requesting the segments over a channel for different streams same as in the multi-client scenario. Thanks

Currently the DashClient class contains a single MpegPlayer object, but you may add multiple DashClient apps to the same node in the network.

DashClient could be extended theoretically to support multiple MpegPlayer instances, not sure what the point would be though...

What I want is to create multiple video streaming at the same client node. What could be the possible approach 1) Running multiple applications on the same client node, for each application the same client requests different stream from the server, or 2) Extending the single player on the client-side such that each player requests a different stream from the server with a single application on the client-side. Thanks

Yes for this the best approach is to install multiple "DashClient" applications on the same node.
