Hi,
I'm running Kodi Helix on OpenElec on a Raspberry Pi2 with a Media Portal backend on a windows box.
My questions is: Is it possible to set up a series recording, similar to a Sky box, where the recorder will record whenever the program is on regardless of day or time??
I believe MediaPortal can do this? The website wiki seems to imply this, but in Kodi the timer only seems to give me a basic set of recording function (weekdays, weekly etc).
This is a killer feature for me.
Thanks.

I'm using Aeon Nox and the timer dialog looks like the pic in that post - but which option is a series record? I cant only see the options under Frequency as:
Record Once
Record Week Days
Record Weekends
Record Weekly
Record Daily (This program)
Nothing about Series Recording... am I missing something?
Thanks.

So is 'Record Daily (This program)' in Kodi the same as 'Record everytime on this channel' in MediaPortal - that sounds like series recording (I think?)

Of the options that you listed archie456, I'm pretty sure you would pick "Record Daily (This Program)". You would then select Airtime = Anytime. You would then select either Channels = This Channel or Any Channel. Those two options correspond to what mcelliott is talking about from a MediaPortal perspective.
For quick reference:
For Mediaportal's "Record every time on this channel" the setup in Kodi should be:
Frequency = Record Daily (This program)
Airtime = Anytime
Channels = This Channel
For Mediaportal's "Record every time on every channel" the setup for Kodi should be:
Frequency = Record Daily (This program)
Airtime = Anytime
Channels = Any Channel
I'm 99% sure that this is correct. I'm currently at work, so I'm doing this all from memory, but I'll check when I get home and if there are any errors in what I've stated, I'll fix it.
Good Luck

If I can get this working well then the WAF of the system will skyrocket!
