When the windows media stream is running (not in demand) does it use up bandwidth?If so how much?
When useing specific location can it also use the zoom?
Thanks and keep up the good work

Hello Andrew
the video server does not use any bandwidth when nobody is connected.
It does require quite some cpu power though, even when nobody is connected.
That's why you can check 'on demand'.

You can use the zoom all the time if Min Zoom < Max Zoom. It does not matter
how and if you position the camera.

No, you can't. The position request does not support zooming (yet?)
I have not thought of it - as positioning is in LogiSphere much longer than zooming, the position request handler does not know about the zooming.
I might add this at some point - the zoom value could be a third parameter to the position request or something.

With some javascript it should be possible to send both requests with one click, but that is probably too complicated for most LogiSphere users.
