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 ;)
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.

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.
