Improve client alive/heartbeat check

Hi,

maybe there is a way to improve the check if a client is still streaming or not in a future update.

I see some of my people like having an active stream for hours but they stopped to stream for a while.
It looks like someone paused a stream but never resumed watching, but i know they turned off the TV, so maybe there is a way to check for a heartbeat or something to check if the client is still active.

I see those streams in the current watching list, even if they turned off the TV, not sure if they stop the stream and turn off the tv or just pause and turn off the tv, but it looks like an active stream on my side.

 

Thanks

Yes this would be a solution but as this post is from 2017 so i think this is a dead end

Hi, there is no such thing as a dead end.
