Hi,
I have a single IPTV auto Network configured with Maximum # input streams set to 1.

When I have a running subscription (Kodi or something direct playing) and a recording starts on an other channel, the recording gets no data because the other subscriptions are not killed. The recording should have higher priority in standard settings (should they?) and even by playing with the priority settings I was not able to change this behavior.

Is this a bug? before the IPTV I had a TV-PCI-Card in the server where tvheadend is running and at this time (without configuring any priority settings), recordings where always killing other subscriptions (The TV-Card was also only able to tune one channel at the same time).

Did you set the priority for the recording itself? Also check the stream priority.

Well yes, I configured a own "passRecord" stream profile with prio Important. I also edited the htsp profile (kodi uses this) with prio low.
The default recording profile uses "passRecord" and the user I create the records with (admin), uses the default record profile (and also stream profile "pass" which has prio normal).

I think the prios are ok. If the prio is to low it should write "no free adapter" or something to the log.

The log shows only a normal try to tune/subscribe to the iptv network a second time without killing/unsubscribing the running stream to kodi.

Here is a log from starting to stream with kodi, then start a record over the webinterface and then stop kodi:

You see the weight of the recording is higher.
