Timeout for subscription

Added by William Weinberger over 7 years ago

Hallo,
I don't know if my question belongs to a new feature or if my problem has another simple solution.

I have the following setup: 3 receiver in a server, 8 TV's with android and KODI on set-top boxes, spreaded over to houses and sometimes additional mobile devices. TV-headend works like a charm, but users don't. So, very often is the situation, that someone just switches off the tv and not the settop-box. The result is a blocked subscription (as the settop-box wants to display the stream) until the end of all days.

Is it possible (with low amount of work) to add a feature, where I can give every Access entry a maximum time a subscription can last?
After this time, the subscription should be canceled.

At the moment I do this manually.
... disable the access entry, cancel Connection, enable access entry.

If such a feature could be done in a few hours by one of the tvheadend creator / developer, feel free to send me an offer to

Thanks

Thanks for the fast help, its a workaround (did not think about this way) and I will consider to do it this way until there might be a server side solution.

Fyi, although I still believe this should be controlled by the server rather than the client... For Kodi I use : https://github.com/b-jesch/service.sleepy.watchdog As I could never get the "approved" add on to work correctly (you may be more fortunate) - for other non Kodi clients I haven't found a solution yet!
