Or maybe even better... Temporarily give access to playback and recording at once if there are free tuners available.
But if new user connects and there is no free tuner left, then first check if any user is has exceeded his limit (counting both playback and recording). If this condition has been met, then disconnect him from playback and let only record his TV program.

However in this case, TVH would not allow to record more streams than limit set for single user and most probably additional option (for limiting recording) should be introduced.

This wont work as you think.
First of all I do not want to ban anyone, just block/allow playback/DVR function. At this time everyone with DVR enabled in his profile, can schedule recording for whatever he wants, so single user can schedule 4 different programs to be recorded at the same time. Fail2ban will not limit concurrent DVR sessions. That's what TVH should do.

Lets say there are 2 tuners and 2 users. Everyone have set a limit of concurrent connections to 1.
This way everyone is able to watch 1 channel at once. However after enabling DVR, 1 user has the ability to watch 1 channel and record another one, thus 2nd user cannot watch anything because there is no tuner that is ready for use.

With this bug fixed, I imagine user won't be able to record one and watch another channel if this requires more 'connections' than limit set (1). But will still allow to play and record the same channel at the same time, or schedule recording (eg. at night when user is sleeping.

there is not problem to watch and record channels from same tuned transponders in same time
but let's say that DVR must bi different USER (internal for TVH) never mind with user is set recording

And who said about same transponders?
Actually 1 user can consume all tuners, preventing other users from watching TV channels. This is IMHO a bug and should be fixed.

Agree with this, but mixing internal and external users is wrong.
So every external client should have only one connection

I don't know how is this realized under the hood ;-)
I only want to say how it looks like from users point of view and that this bug might sometimes prevent other users from enabling DVR functionality...

Any update here?
