User feedback when recording disk disappears

just sort of a feature request re: the DVR. somehow my external USB disk that i am recording onto decided to take a vacation. when trying to play videos from the nonexistent disk, the tvOS client just silently exits back to the menu when you try to watch a recording; the web interface spins for a while and then just says “transcoder finished”

although in the log it’s clear that the recording is not found, for less technically savvy users it would be nice if there were some kind of notification in the tvOS client or web client that the recording was not found. my family was pretty confused by this problem this morning since it’s a pretty “silent” failure.

thanks, rob
