Describe the bug

For LiveTV, you can set a limit on the number of streams available. The counter doesn't always reset properly, I believe it is hanging on null streams, but I have been having issues reproducing it.

To Reproduce

Having trouble reproducing it but it typically occurs on a bad stream being attempted to play. I need to investigate it with DEBUG mode on to see if I can get anything else to appear.

Expected behavior

Logs

Here are normal logs, trying to reproduce a failure still.

The logs also don't report out when Consumer Count increases. It probably should.

At first it seems like it did, but I got another case of limit reached when it should not have been.

@stale[bot] commented on GitHub (Sep 12, 2020): This issue has gone 120 days without comment. To avoid abandoned issues, it will be closed in 21 days if there are no new comments. If you're the original submitter of this issue, please comment confirming if this issue still affects you in the latest release or nightlies, or close the issue if it has been fixed. If you're another user also affected by this bug, please comment confirming so. Either action will remove the stale label. This bot exists to prevent issues from becoming stale and forgotten. Jellyfin is always moving forward, and bugs are often fixed as side effects of other changes. We therefore ask that bug report authors remain vigilant about their issues to ensure they are closed if fixed, or re-confirmed - perhaps with fresh logs or reproduction examples - regularly. If you have any questions you can reach us on [Matrix or Social Media](https://docs.jellyfin.org/general/getting-help.html).
