I hope I'm not going to get slated for resurrecting a 2 1/2 year post!
However, this is one functionality that currently Kodi is missing, so I'm going to bump it to see if there is any interest in developing this!?
I appriciate that you can currently schedule a recording, but sometimes I don't want to record, I just want to be reminded e.g so take this scenerio... I sit down for the evening see there's somthing I would like to watch at 9:00, normally I would probably find something else to watch in the time being and then flip over to the channel at 9:00 ( this method requires various degrees of clock watching!!!)
What I would like is the ability to browse the EPG click record and then have a dialogue menu pop up saying either remind me or record.
If I select "remind me" then it would be great to have the option for a reminder to pop up say 5 minutes before the programme starts and auto tune (change the channel)... I've seen this been done on some commercial PVR's and this works great, as the programme is then "recorded" in the "timeshift" buffer and give you the ability to rewind if you happen to miss the reminder...
hope this makes sense?
Thanks Ash
