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

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..
 
+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.

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

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.
 
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 ;)
 
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.
