Original channel not closing on channel change.

Open bluemiker opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

When changing channels the old channel continues streaming with the new channel streaming over the top. Have to manually close the first channel window at each channel change. If the original channel is not closed up to 3 channels will lay simultaneously.

thanks for a fast Windows app

It's intentional and I've heard this complaint before. The use-case is indeed very niche compared to the degradation of UX. What I propose is a per-source limit of clients that can be opened. The default could be a limit of 1 which would effectively close the currently running client and re-open the selected channel.

Thank you for the quick response. I didn't realize it was designed to work like that. It's no great inconvenience to have to close each channel. It's more that with 1 IPTV connection having additional channels running accidentally can cause problems with provider. If it can be resolved it would be great.

Regards

Mike
