Tvheadend

FYI I used version 4.1-2236~g817f67e, the same issue appeared with 4.1-2277~gbf75b27 (the current build).

What you're describing sounds like the tuner (I assume you only have one) is only able to send one stream at a time (forced hardware pid filtering) rather than a full mux. You can test this by playing a mux in VLC (copy paste play icon/link from within the muxes tab).

I only have one tuner, and the two programs are not on the same channel/mux so I can't capture them both at the same time. Should've mentioned that in my original post I suppose, but the issue still stands.

As far as I'm aware Tvheadend will always wait for a free tuner and will only deem a recording a fail if it receives nothing during the scheduled recording duration or if a tuner failure occurs, but yes you are right, technically a partial recording isn't a successful one.

I suppose it may be useful to add another sub-tab to the DVR for such partial recordings, and only recordings that fail to start due to the tuners being busy, and then only if a (user-configurable) time (or percent?) of the duration fails to record.

Recordings should fail with "Time missed" in such case
