A bit more information about the recording thumbnails. Kodi already supported them before the TV Server could generate them.
When the addon is configured in TSReader mode (default), Kodi gets the finished recordings just as (network) file paths. Kodi itself generates in that case the thumbnails.
This does not work when using the addon in ffmpeg (rtsp streaming) mode.
In case the TVServer generates the thumbnail, it must be next to the recording with the same file name except for the extension.
I'm taking the recording file name and replaceing the .ts file extension by .jpg.
If the PVR addon can find and access a file named "myrecordingname.jpg" next to the "myrecordingname.ts" file, it will set the strThumbnailPath to point to this thumbnail.
Unfortunately, the current addon does not write any (debug) log for the thumbnails, so even with a Kodi log file, I'm unable to 'see' why it does not work. I need to add debug logging to the addon first.
