Some MPEG players (Microsoft Windows Media Player, for instance) cannot play back MPEG live streams from a URL. So, AVBroadcaster may include the "Content-length" HTTP header in the MPEG stream. Simply add key HTTPContentLength to section [AVBroadcaster] in settings.ini (located in the same folder with DVBCore.dll). Valid values are from 1 to 4294967295. The default is the 0 ("Content-length" is not included in HTTP header). ex. [AVBroadcaster] HTTPContentLength=52428800 ; 50 MB If a player can play a live MPEG stream from a URL, such header is not needed, if not - player play specified amount of bytes with 100% precaching.
