Description

Yes, strictly speaking, Web notifications are a W3C draft - see:

http://www.w3.org/TR/notifications/

However, with tvheadend now leaving the system log window minimised by default and the chance of you not
being on the right sub-page of the Digital Video Recorder -> Recorder Schedule being high (especially since that defaults
to "1 of n" and if n>1, you probably won't be on the page with the new recording indicator), it's actually
very likely you'll not know if tvheadend has started or stopped a recording (or any other important event has
occurred), even if you actually have tvheadend's Web UI on top of all other windows (which again, may not be the case).

Hence, I'd like a Notifications section where you can choose which events you can be notified about via
checkboxes. Examples could include:

  • Recording started (or resumed if a -1, -2, etc. filename is created)
  • Recording aborted (e.g. signal lost or manually stopped) or stopped (natural end of timeslot)
  • Low disk space
  • Recording failed (e.g. out of disk space/disk fault, tuner couldn't be allocated)
  • EPG bulk update (i.e. a grabber has completed and actually made EPG changes)

I'd suggest having all but the last one enabled by default.
