Hi,

As I understand it, when I try to start a stream using a call like:

http://192.168.1.1:9981/stream/channelid/1214818065?ticket=4F272A00EE655D3E59231748D73F7EC558445800

from an arbitrary player, like VLC or Totem, then if the required MUX is already being received, the requested channel is streamed. If not, a tuner is allocated (if available)

Can anyone explain the mechanism by which, when I stop receiving the stream obtained via the above URL, the tuners are freed up?

I have noticed that often the "status" tab of the webUI shows services as "subscribed" even though I have long since stopped playing the actual streams. Not sure if this is a problem with the UI, or because the tuners really have been tied up with stale streams...
