I've seen services out there requesting the MAC address of the devices that will be watching TV. If someone is using the NextPVR plugin for KODI, would they asking for the MAC address of the KODI device or the back-end server that hosts the NextPVR software?

Why would they want the MAC to begin with?

The server API provides the MAC address of the backend so that the addon can use it for wake on LAN if a user wants to enable it.
