EPG-based recording is very accessible as of Kodi 16 - Jarvis. There is still one thing missing though (or perhaps it is me missing its existence) that is required for being able to fully integrate recordings into the Kodi library. That is the ability to select which TVH DVR Profile to use.
Since Kodi scrapes media as either TV Shows or Movies, it is necessary to keep recordings in folders that Kodi can handle appropriately, depending on their type. I do this by using different DVR Profiles in TVH and assigning the appropriate recording folder to each profile. But when creating timers from Kodi, only the default profile is used, so I can only record either TV Shows (series recording) or Movies. Thus, currently, I have to do all my recording from the TVH WebUI. If this is not already planned as a feature for the next release, please add it soon!
P. S.: Yes, you are correct, Sports, News and others pose problems of their own, but with this feature and a good TVH post_processing script, they too could be handled.
