</div>Isn't that almost exactly how HLS works? It's all done automatically.<br>
The end user doesn't have to manually orchestrate this.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>For now, the app will not be downloading programs and storing them locally. Sorry about this, but I have other data loading issues that I need to deal with for the time being. Also, I cannot guarantee the app will ever do this since HLS essentially replaces need to transcode and download. Especially with the new changes that will be coming in .26 or .27. It will only be getting better.<div>
<br></div><div>BTW, HLS does work just fine for me over a ssh connection to my master backend. Quality is lesser, but still functional. I have instructions on how to set that up on the wiki if you are interested.</div><div>
