+VDRAdmin Streaming
+==================
+
+The idea of extending VDRAdmin with streaming features originally came from
+the Debian maintainers of the vdradmin package. For questions about the
+streaming, they are the right contact persons:
+
+Peter Siering <ps@ctmagazin.de>, Tobias Grimm <tg@e-tobi.net>
+
+You can enable access to the streaming feature, by setting STREAM_ON=1 in
+vdradmind.conf. vdradmin is not responsible for providing video streams,
+it's just a frontend to access them.
+
+At the configuration page you can now enable/disble live streaming and
+streaming of recordings.
+
+
+Live Streaming
+--------------
+
+Live streaming gives you access to the currently selected channel. To use
+live streaming, you must have the streamdev-server-plugin from
+Sascha Volkenandt (available at http://www.magoa.net/linux/) installed.
+This plugin provides access to the currently watched channel, by
+providing a video stream using the Video Transfer Protocol VTP.
+
+By default port 3000 is used, you can change this on the configuration page.
+
+
+Recordings Streaming
+--------------------
+
+There is no real streaming server for VDR recordings available yet. Our
+lazy solution right now is, to simply access the recordings using a Samba
+share. So your first step to make use of the recordings streaming should
+be, to make your recoordings directory available over the network.
+
+The URL, a client should use to access this network share, has to be
+configured at the configuration page.
+
+VDRAadmin will also need direct access to VDR's recordings directory. You
+have to set this in vdradmind.conf with VIDEODIR, which is by default
+set to VIDEODIR="/video".
+
+
+Setting up the Client / Browser
