Currently, when DVBDream is loaded into memory, it attaches to the respective BDA driver and starts to stream audio/video even if it's in renderless mode and sitting in the Windows System tray waiting for the network encoder to request a channel change and stream. This can waste valuable system CPU cycles when the network encoder doesnt need a stream. There is also an unnecessary drain on USB bandwidth; especially for transponders with very high bandwidth usage.
It would make sense to have a preference for network encoder users to not even connect to the BDA driver UNTIL there's a stream request and respective channel change from the network encoder.
This would mean 0% resource utilization from DVBDream (CPU usage, USB bandwidth, etc) for network encoder users until they actually need the stream. I realize this may add a small delay in connecting to the BDA driver and start streaming, but it would be much more efficient usage of resources.
(meant to work as a network encoder). This WILL waste system CPU cycles unnecessarily.. sometimes using up to 5%-6% of the total system CPU depending on hardware used.
My feature suggestion can greatly benefit many people; especially if they use multiple instances of DVBDream and/or use DVBDream as only a network encoder.
Thanks,

Feature suggestion:
Add a DVBDream preference to disconnect from the BDA driver UNTIL there is a channel
