Feature Request: Ability to "disconnect" a client viewing using the DVR

A useful feature would be the ability to “disconnect” a client viewing using the DVR Status screen. Have a “disconnect” button next to the status line like “Watching ch751 from 192.168.1.216”

Case example: I left the ATV running with ch751 open. When I got to work and saw that the item was still streaming it would be useful to remotely disconnect it to allow freeing up the tuner if needed.

If you have access to your local network from your remote location you can issue the command to stop the app

curl -XPOST http://IP Address of Server:57000/api/stop

Although I do have VPN access if absolutely needed; many may not…

Will this stop all connected clients? I would not want it to affect the DVR recordings nor disconnect one of the other ATVs ( in use by the SO…:slight_smile: ) If available from the web interface then VPN would not be needed and a quick “disconnect” would get things back on track…

This isn’t for server, it’s for clients. The IP address would be that of the Apple TV. Using this, you can stop playback, which would of course immedialty disconnect from the tuner.
