How to play the same stream on multiple devices in local network.

[juhacz]

Is it possible to watch the same stream on two devices simultaneously on the network with the same running engine? It doesn't work for me. When I watch a stream on device A, trying to play the same stream on device B fails.
On the website https://wiki.acestream.media/Engine_HTTP_API I read that in the address to engine you must also provide the "pid" parameter, which identifies the playback device, e.g.
http://192.168.100.130:8020/ace/getstream?infohash=8f92d328d2e5a8a83f04bd6f3dxxxxx&pid=40518239 when I do it manually it still doesn't work.

So this restriction is by design. As far as I know there is some solution for payed licence exists. But on my own I am on the way for kubernetes solution where every client will be served by single dedicated replica of the container. Dinamic number of replicas would be orchestrated by kubernetes.

Thank you. I created a new container, and I solved the problem.

So, you can publish your Kubernetes solution? or a light tutorial 👍

Unfortunately, there is no native (i.e. internal, own) kibernetus solution as it has no such metric as number of connections per instance that could be used as resource limits for autoscaling. To release this solution, it is necessary to create an external service to monitor this parameter and custom metrics. This work is something I am interested in, but I don't know when I can begin. Now I am using two permanent instances that meet my needs at least for now.
