Thanks.
Is it possible to have the backend always watch a certain channel(s)
even when the frontend is not running?
The frontend sometimes get stuck in the video stream but I hope the
backend does not suffer that problem. It would save decoding the stream
since it just needs to stream to disk.
This would be ideal for my single channel setup (for now, in a month or
so I will have three dutch free channels, wew!).
