Description

Feature request... that would save me a long time editing my recordings :)

It happens quite frequently that I get recordings with errors (either due to bad reception, weather conditions, connection to CWC goes down for a bit, etc).
I always record a few airing of a specific show to increase my chances of having an error-free recording.
That being said, I always have to run a .TS analyzer on each file to check if there are any errors in the stream.

If I have the web-gui of Tvheadend opened, however, I can see that there is information in the general log that is extremely helpful and that could be saved along-side recordings.

My request is that for every recording, a .log/.txt file can be generated that contains all the log lines related to that specific recording - recording initiated, PIDs in the stream, errors/discontinuities that occurred, connection dropped, etc).
That way, it will be as quick as check that log file for errors to immediately discard a recording instead of editing it.

Cheers!
Sam.

It looks related to my feature request: https://tvheadend.org/issues/2208

For Sam: what king of ".TS analyzer" do you use? Does it work on the mkv produced by tvheadend?

I completely missed your request. Indeed, it is quite similar.
Nope, I only record to TS. I use the very very old Mpeg2Repair (in log mode), and while it works quite well, it's very painful to do one file at a time.
