Might be nice, specially if (as is probably common) the server is low-powered and/or slow with network I/O, while the client has plenty of disk and I/O bandwidth (like, say an average Windows PC). The server could still do recording, but volatile stuff like timeshift I/O could be kept off it.

... and it might allow for faster skipping, too - sometimes it takes 5 seconds to skip back 7 with a round trip from client to TVHeadend.

PVR addons are frre to create the timeshift buffer wherever they want to. Means you yould post your request in an addon specific section.
btw: skip/seek with vnsi in timeshift buffer is lightning fast.

Moved, thanks.
Can you comment on whether it might be a good idea for Kodi to do this centrally? It would then benefit all PVR clients, and relieve them of the need to do timeshifting at all.

If you want the client to do the timeshifting you can run the backend and kodi on the same machine.
