But it has a weird way of handling the media paths. The interface is designed for using with the infrared remote controller, not a keyboard.
So typing in my sql recording selections will not work :-)
Oh, yes, it does (I use it with a wireless keyboard with integrated touch panel).
Is a mouse / touchpad an absolute just for navigating? Today I use only a keyboard.
I myself have no idea how to use kodi without a mouse. There is a keyboard guide somewhere, I would have to print it and have it near.
Maybe it works fine with a touch screen - just the thing for the sitting room (how long are your arms? Use a broom-stick!) :-D :-P
Seriously though, it might be designed for and infrared remote controller.
FWIW, I use TVHeadend to record programmes from Freeview (UK DVB-T2) and I know it can also record from satellite and cable and IPTV. It can also restream to other instances of itself etc (MPEG-TS I think but I've never tried to use it). I control which programmes to record and manage them using TVH's JS-based webui (there are actually a couple of other versions as well as the official one). I watch the programmes using Kodi, sometimes running on the same openSUSE box that TVH is running on, and started by clicking on TVH's UI. In that case Kodi is controlled usin gthe keyboard and mouse of my computer. Other times I use Kodi installed on a Fire TV connected to my TV. It gets access to the programmes via an NFS mount exported from the openSUSE box to the Fire TV. In this case Kodi is controlled using the Fire TV's remote and its UI is used to select the programme to play.
Given that mythtv doesn't build for e.g. leap15.4, and probably isn't receiving the necessary care and attention, I have to be open to other options, but it's just a bigger project that I don't really want to take on right now.
Right, so keep the server as is. No problem :-)
I found TVH pretty straightforward to set up. I have a TBS DVB-T2 card which is a pain because its drivers need to be built out-of-tree. I recently bought a Hauppage card to replace it, which is supported in tree, but I haven't got around to replacing the TBS yet. (if it ain't broke don't fix it excuse for laziness :)
