The SOPCAST Dilemma
SOPCAST offers streams in various formats, so when you switch a stream, the codecs will likely be different. All streams however use the same address http://127.0.0.1:8902, and Serviio will cache the codecs used by the stream being played the first time that URL is added to the console as a livestream, and use those values to transcode every SOPCAST stream, which leads to errors.
Since there is no way to update the cached values once they are established, the only solution I can see is to put the URL in a LiveFeeds folder, and give it a cachekey like timestamp that is different each time it is used . That will force the codec to be detected each time a SOPCAST stream is played, resulting in the correct transcoding.
Is there any other way to handle this?
