At the top of the hour, Mythtv was scheduled to start recording on the same channel I was watching.  The Mac was using the 1st tuner of the HDHomeRun at the time, via mythtv.  Since there was no other recording scheduled at that same time, Mythtv would normally use HDHomeRun tuner 1 for the recording, but since the Live TV was using HDHR tuner 1, I’m not sure what was going on at the backend.

Thanks,
Okay, so I changed the order of Live TV tuners to be the opposite of the scheduled tuners. I tested this morning and I was watching a channel that started recording the same channel at the top of the hour and it worked as expected.  My Live tv was the last tuner and the recording was on the first tuner.  No issues with Kodi this time either.  I've reported the Kodi crash to their forum.
