Its not a 'problem', as it now works quite well. The current data flow
is socket -> 2mb incoming buffer -> pre processing -> remuxing ->
PlayPes, and it runs in a single thread from beginning to end. I could
split this into several threads, but why? Why use a separate thread
(plus all the syncing that would be required) just for copying from one
buffer to the next?
Another reason not to thread cRemux: I still manage to keep 1.2.6
compatibility, and the 1.2.6 remuxer is only single threaded.
Cheers,
Udo
