If you set a recording in MediaPortal from the EPG, once you've set the recording, the 'Keep until' button is enabled. This is using MP1. I don't use MP2.
The first thing I would do is set a recording in this way inside MediaPortal and see if it works.
At least then, you'll know if this is a Kodi problem.
Then you can check what is in the database for a recording set by MediaPortal and one set by Kodi, and see if they are different. The fact that you are having trouble connecting to the database seems to indicate a problem with your system.
How is it supposed to happen? When a recording gets to the 'keep until' date, it should be deleted.
Does this work? Dunno, never tried it. But since Kodi won't take an active role in deleting the recording, if it doesn't work it is a MediaPortal bug, not a Kodi bug.
