Live TV Stream Count

[pir8radio 1312]

As a method to help trouble shoot, is there any way under the tuners page you can show something that shows how many tuners are in use for each device?  Kind of like the attached image showing 2 active tuners.      This will help identify why recordings didn't happen, or help me to see how close i'm coming to my tuner limit.  I know i can count whats going on on the dash board, but this would make "stuck" tuners and what not easier to troubleshoot as well..

We used to have something like this in Emby but it was removed.  I miss it.

I whipped up something in a couple of minutes that seems to work well for me:

 

If this will help the attached html is simple and you just need to adjust it for your IPs and devices.  You could add a meta fresh but I removed it because I might look at a specific tuner and it would refresh on me always at the wrong time.

 

I just keep this open on in chrome and have the html file book marked so it's easy to open.

Another reason for something like post #1 says, its tough to troubleshoot when streams are not working, I don't know how many are in progress so i dont know if its due to x amount of active streams at the same time, Its hard to see that if people are watching the same channel that should only use one stream right? today I just cant tell whats going on with my streams vs watches/records...    Being able to see "oh m3u tuner 1 has 3 active streams on it" would be a great help.

This is an absolute must, especially for IPTV. Knowing how many tuners are in use is a critical tool to help properly troubleshoot Live TV issues.

It's possible to return in the future. Thanks.

I'm revisiting this,  its a PIA to troubleshoot live tv issues...   I often want to come here and complain about emby,  but its often not emby's fault...    An ability for us to SEE live m3u streams in progress would be a great help.....   right now my provider says i have 1 stream going, but I dont see anything in emby saying that I do...   its a black hole for administration and troubleshooting.   See first post. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/63634-live-tv-stream-count/?p=631017

 

like the below would be a minimum start.   I guess at a bare minimum it would be nice to at least see:   Active Tuners 2

 

m3u, channel, task

 

M3U1   164   Recording 

M3U1   5       Pir8Radio

With more and more people using M3U providers vs HW tuners this is even more important then before.

 

Most HW based tuners have some way to check tuner usage but this isn't the case for M3U internet based streams.
