Shutting down live channel

by djskynet

Quick question, on Android 8.0, when going back to the main screen from live channel, does that effectively "close" the app or at least shut the feed or does whatever channel the app was on still run on the back end? I am asking as I run IPTV on several android device but am only allowed to one feed at a time.

If you have a Shield, double tap home to open the recent menu & close everything you no longer need to be sure.

It could depend on the specific iptv app you're using with LiveChannels, but can confirm that when I exit back to home screen from StreaminDVR, my router stops showing the higher bandwidth from the stream. Hope that helps.

yes it stops the stream.
