Kodi is made by volunteers so pretty much everything is too much to ask, especially since you didn't pay for it.
I know that and I appreciate, but I think the team should listen the critics if they really want to create a good product.
Here everybody has a grand-grand mother that uses the kodi remote as seamlessly as her sonotone. Similar to those brothers-in-law that claim that they normally do that driving trip in 1h relaxed when you need 2h at illegal speeds.
No, I don't receive notifications of recording, sometimes I receive it minutes later or just nothing. There is no red icons generally except in Confluence skin, which is kind of old fashioned skin, I don't like it. I don´t display OSD in live TV cos I had more need for the Context Menu, so I mapped my "i" button to context instead of OSD. Or maybe is the opposite, I don't know cos we have 3 f subscreens on TV and I don't know who is who: the playback controls, the info screen, the context menu... whereas in WMC this was simpler, here we dont have enough buttons in the remote to control that mess.
Again, the default mapping of "Record" button in remote does nothing in my case, I tried to map to other keyboard strokes but I don't see much info around. I can not say if it works or not because sometimes looks like it launches a recording, or it launches late, or I dont know.
Besides that I think in a better recording status showing the red circle icon permanently on live TV screen, like a video camera does, as the only effective way to know if we are recording live or not, but I'm not sure where to address the proposal, because of the grand-grand mothers of the talented developers, these things look like not important...
so... I think that's overall the situation
