What does it mean when the Octoshape Streaming Services plug-in is in idle mode?
When the Octoshape Streaming Services plug-in is in idle mode it awaits your streaming requests. Until you start streaming something, the plug-in is completely passive. But running the plug-in in idle mode ensures that streaming begins as soon as you request it. If you set the plug-in to automatically exit when it is not used (i.e. not enter idle mode), you will experience an initial short delay in the streaming, as the plug-in is loading.
