Sounds good - I may give that a go. I have been using
Kodi but not as a frontend for MythTV. When it comes
to recording and watching TV I think the functionality
on Mythfrontend outweighs what's available in Kodi. As
an example, I have a recording template for Movies
which has a set of customised settings that are used
when recording a program listed as a movie. I don't
think Kodi allows you to do this, and neither does
Mythweb for that matter - so Mythfrontend has some
features that are really useful and not available
using any other frontend UI.<br>

Small logical disconnect here. When I started this thread
(I love it when a thread takes off like this!) I never
intended to use Kodi for recording -- that's the function
of Myth*Backend*. That's why I have a big, beefy server
with terabytes of storage in the garage for. Mythfrontend,
of course, does not perform recording. When you have a
unified solo box it runs both mythfrontend and
mythbackend. Perfectly acceptable and the way I started
using MythTV many years ago.<br>
<br>
But my inquiry was on replacing my frontends with
something small. I mean really small. Raspberry Pi small.
The consensus is that the hardware has arrived for
frontend functionality. Now we need the software.</blockquote>

<div>I don't think anyone is suggesting using Kodi for
recording... I'm not even sure it can do that. What he is
talking about is scheduling recordings. Most Kodi
frontend users just use mythweb to schedule everything as
the capability built into Kodi is pretty weak at the
moment. </div>

Oh yeah. I meant to address that in my post. I was expecting Kodi to
be weak or non-existant with scheduling. I mostly use MythWeb right
now anyway on my laptop or tablet. I would expect to fall back to
that route. <br>
