Description

Hi,

i'm not sure if this qualifys as a bug or just a diffenence of opinion, so i'm openening this as a feature-request :)

Currently, if you select a streaming-profile in the Access Entries, it selects this profile exclusively, meaning, if you select a http-profile like transcode-to-mkv, http works, but hts from kodi does not (and probably vice-versa). So if i need to set a transcoding profile for a mobile-client that can't select a profile, i can't use the same account for kodi and and the mobile device.

I would like request to simplyfy the streaming-profile, so they are protocol independant. It should not matter, whether a client uses http or hts (or at some point maybe even sat->ip?) to access tvheadend, streaming-profiles should only influence what's inside the stream (passthrough, transcoding to another codec etc), but not how they are accessed.

It would also be good if it would be possible to de-select the streaming-profile in Access Entires (this kinda works, but you have to select a profile, remove the text with backspace and then click into space outside the selection box, if you press tab, enter or click inside, it selects the last profile, not very intuitive). I think a "Tags-Style" multi-select-checkbox would be the best, this way it would be easy to select zero (client decides), one (client is forced to use the selected profile) or multiple (client can decide between the selected profiles, but not the one's that aren't selected) profiles.

Thanks,

You can already select multiple profiles per user - just add another ACL entry with same username and password and add new a profile to it..

Hi Jaroslav,

thank you very much, i wasn't aware that multiple acl's per user are possible, but the way it's not implemented is perfect :-D
