Bug #5321
Multiple Recording at same time not possible
0%
Description
Hi Tvheadend
Firstful I want to make a big compliment! Great software!
There is just one point that I'm not able to accomplish.
I've installed TVheadend on a Synology NAS and use different clients to watch TV (Kodi, Tvhclient and so on).
I'm able to watch the same channel at the same time over different clients.
But when I want to record different TV Shows at the same time, just one of the TV Show is recorded. The others crashes.
I wanted to add several IPTV Tuners to overcome this issue. But the mapping services generates two times the same channel list.
Is there a way to record different Shows at the same time?
In TVMosaic for example the solution is to add multiple tuners.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards
Dennis

Updated by As Jaroslav said your description is vague...
It is true that if you want to record/watch several channels, you need a tuner per mux.
From your description ("the mapping services generates two times the same channel list"), I can guess that all you need to do is to activate the option "Merge same name" when mapping services.
But to have duplicated services you either have different networks broadcasting the same channel or you wrongly created 1 network for each adapter (2 or more adapters/tuners can/should be assigned to the same network).
Please describe your setup and provide logs if you really have crashes...

ok, I try to do describe it better: When I record two or three different shows at the same time, one of the shows will be recorded completely.
The other two are just recroded for a few seconds. Maybe the word crash is not the right expression.
On the other hand when I want to watch the same channel on three different clients at the same time it's working fine.
I'm just using one tuner for the moment and I've put the "Maximum # input streams" to 5.
If I want to add two tuners with the same M3U list than the channels are not merging. Maybe here I make something wrong.

IPTV has no fixed tuners (inputs). You can limit only the number of active streams per network.
Again, show logs. "--trace dvr,mpegts,iptv" for start. https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Traces

Hi Jaroslav, you see in the picture in the attachement that one show is recorded but the other two stops during the registration.
How it comes that I'm able to watch the same channel with three different clients but I'm not able to make tree different registrations at the same time?
Has this maybe to do with my synology NAS. I've a DS 781+ with 6GB RAM.
In the attachament I put you also the tvheadend.log file.
Thanks in advance.

If all you're using is IPTV, you should check if whoever is providing you IPTV access (if that's the case) allows you to stream more that one channel at time.
(you can easily test this with 2 VLCs playing 2 different channels at once)

Yes, as I already described: to watch two channels at the same it's not a problem. It's just a problem to make two registrations at the same time.
But I'm able to watch a channel and record a show at the same time.

Check the IPTV network config parameter: "Maximum # of input streams" (3rd from the top).

Sorry, just checked that you have it set to 5.
As Jaroslav said, At this point you have to upload some logs with traces:

Hi Luis
I've already upload the log-file.
See at the beginning of the bug-description.

No idea, it seems that there are some data received for all streams. Could you retest with latest 4.3?

Hi Jaroslav
I don't find any version 4.3 for the synology NAS.
I just found the following link. the last version is v4.2.7-14

I was able to record three shows at the same time. My IPTV provider did have a restriction.
So I used rtp addresses of public service broadcasters and it worked.
You can clos the ticket.
