Release content:

+possibility to select only UDP -stream or only TCP -stream (default value is automatic detection)

+Option to start PiipTV -service automatically always when Mediaportal TV-server is running
+Bye packet not sent (from VLC) at the end of vod streaming (fixed)
+VLC IDLE time before first stream is 1h, should be 3min (fixed)
TIP: If you are using piipTV a lot with another PC (watching with VLC) we have observed that viewer VLC (0.8.6.f) might crash easily, reason seems to be used AAC -audio codec (bug in VLC AAC -codec). So from advanced settings you can change audio codec to mp3, that should help situation when using another PC. (but MP3 -audio +H264 AVC video might cause some turbulence in phone videocenter usage) For this reason you can also find PC button from advanced settings UI, there is also some default streaming settings for WLAN and 3G usage
