1 stream limit channel switching

Playground Custom Channels

I have a source with several channels but with limit to 1 stream. When i change channels using the upper "quick guide", i get "streaming to the tuner failed". Is there a way i could tell it to drop the first stream for a second before starting the new?

I'm not sure that will work.
I've noticed that an HDHR tuner source stream will get closed quickly, but TVE and Custom M3U channels source streams always take awhile to close.
Examples are when a scheduled recording ends, or when you manually select a channel to watch and stop it. Always been that way as long as I can remember.

I had some luck setting the playback of original quality from direct to stream.

Yes. "Original Quality Delivery" set to "Stream" works perfectly now. It seems to have fixed a stutter that happened a few seconds in also. Thank you.
