I would like to cast a vote that the MythTV plugin/Kodi should behave in the same way as MythTV frontend when you choose to record a show that you are watching.
In MythTV frontend when you do this you get the whole show recorded, even the part that you have watched.
If you do this in Kodi you get a recording that starts at the time you started the recording.
Why do I want it like MythTV frontend? Because one of the scenarios where this could be used is if you are watching something from the beginning and then your wife/partner/child comes in to the room and likes what you are watching and decides they would like to see it also at a later time. In MythTV frontend this is not a problem, press record and the whole show will be saved. With Kodi you cant do this, you would only get from current position to the end.
Don't know how MythTV frontend does it, but I think it just changes the recording group from LiveTV to Default, since everything in MythTV is a recording.
Anyway, would be nice to have this behavior in Kodi also.
