Hi everyone, sorry for the MAJOR delay.
I have uploaded my project to github so people can start testing it out!

You will have to compile the addon for linux (instructions in readme), or for android compile kodi with my addon included and build apk (NO WAY AROUND THIS).
Tested:
1) Linux (FULL FUNCTIONALITY)
2) Android (Cannot natively record, requires linux machine sharing same recordings path so that linux can do actual recording to file)
I DO NOT HAVE OR PLAN ON GETTING Windows / OSX machines, so modify code if you wish to test on those systems.
I know its a bit of a bummer for android, but I at least use it at home with a linux media server, so my android devices are kind of an extension of my DVR, similar to how cable companies give you 1 dvr and the other boxes can record on it.
I'm looking for a solution to android, but unfortunately the android system has a --noexec on loaded binaries from data partition. This means FFMPEG has to be built and install into android via apk to an area kodi can point to (NOT EASY!).
Will continue to work on this, I have some ideas:
- Pass off to python script, would require sister addon script to be installed from a repo. (may reach out to primeval)
- Create sister APK build for FFMPEG that allows Kodi access to the install location. (will prob be time consuming)
- Look for alternate recording capabilities more native to android.
- Etc...
Important, if testing and want to report issues PLEASE include kodi.log from session with issue and use pastebin to do so.
Sorry if I have not addressed all the questions, will do my best moving forward.
Best,
Gonzalo
