pvr stalker local recording

[dvbken]

i'm mulling the idea of local recording being added for kodi. right now i'm on the fence. please vote so that i can fall off to one side or the other

[psycon]

i for one would love to be able to record the fights or live events in the event i have to run out of the house or cant watch. most everything else can be watched through other plugins without commercials anyways, but live sports and less popular shows can be hard to find. this would make it much easier..

[Marley]

i would luv that so wife can can up with tv shows

[TVGuy]

It would be a definite plus

[tuxen]

+1 from me. i live in cet where US primetime is from 2-6am so sometimes i fall asleep right before the premieres or live events lol.
so i would really appreciate this as backup.

[crazed 9.6]

I say naah
If that is started then it will bring added attention and not that we worry, but attention is attention

in no way do I pretend to know more then dvbken
This is a tough decision ken and I see why you made this poll

[Marley]

look if it will bring trouble to iptv then no other wise yes didnt think it be that hard of call but i see now it really is

[TVFan]

Big plus from me. Everyone watches TV in a slightly different way, but I would use it a lot.

And it would bring meaning to the initials "PVR".

[psycon]

i dont think the ability to record will bring any more attention than there already is... i mean you can already record iptv.. just run your mag/device into a DVR or capture card. or on a pc use kodi and VLC to save the streams.... as for legality, that all depends on where you live. where i live, there is nothing wrong with simply making a plugin that can record.. you cant hold a gun maker accountable for someone getting shot.

[Marley]

yea there ways around it to record not really selling it or anything like that more for enjoyment which it will be

[expatter]

I can think of a few instances where this would be a very nice option to have, so I vote yea.

[dickhank]

yes, would be a bonus.

[couch potato]

You can record any programs/channels by using ffmpeg ;)

and of course you can also run a bash script to set the time-start & the time-end :D

[tuxen]

sure you can, there are even more ways to do it, but its not like its integrated in kodi's pvr functions..
and by far something the average user can do.

[Hank Venture]

Yes please and Thank You

[psycon]

remember to vote using the poll ppl

[Capt.Kangaroo]

I say yeah. Unless, like crazed pointed out, unneeded attention being brought forth.
Hard decision on your part ken...:eek:

[tuxen]

download option in genesis didn't bring much attention, when lambda took it out briefly it was only because he thought the code was rubbish. people liked it back in, and he brought it back in. only attention i saw in this example was good if any. also remember different countries different laws and different timezones. :)

watching & recording a program within the kodi will eat too many system resources
so if you run it on a non-powerful machine (i.e. android box / r-pi with less RAM), it will result with too many dropped-frames (a/v unsync & video lagging/stuttering issue)
just my 2 cents ;)

[psycon]

you know this because you have done it before?.. depending on how your chache is set up, any video you watch is already downloading saving and playing at the same time.. the stream just clears out the buffer cache constantly.. to make it actually record, you just make it keep saving instead of clearing the buffer.. i think resource usage would be pretty much the same.

i remember my cat could torrent 2 files downloading at high speed using the transmission server and client on the old raspberry pi 1 to a usb hdd and still play HD video, gui was laggy yeah but for a 1st gen rpi running both server and client, tons of connections because of this and 10-20MByte download to a usb device, tons of interrupts used (yeah the old rpi doesn't even do 'real' multitasking). i do not think this will be a problem at all for nowadays even slower devices.
my experience transferring several files using the 1st gen fire tv while navigating the gui or watching movies/tv is good and not laggy before you really push it with lots of files at once.

[edwardnizz]

I'm all for it

[Kemar009]

It would be great to have recording feature added a yes for me

[Tack]

I voted yea.
It'd be nice to have the ability to pause the stream in stalker (or simple). Recording one of two overlapping shows is great too but that can get out of hand quickly. When I dumped satellite TV for IPTV two years ago I deleted nearly 40 hours of recordings that I had not watched before returning the DVR.
