Hi all,

Does anyone know if the IPTV freeview recording plugin be set up on the 'Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2GB Home Use 4K KODI Media Player Kit Pack'. And if so, how well does it perform? Recording back to a NAS

I'm looking at this to replace my old PC I built about 10-15 years ago (pretty much been running 24/7 since it's build)

Thanks 😎

I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.

I use a dedicated Pi3 to do the recording. OSMC running TVheadend server. And use Pi4 running libreelec as the TVheadend client.

But a Pi4 could be both the client and server depending on the distro you are running.

External NAS.

Excellent quality and performance.

Umm. Why would his name be banned? Genuinely curious.
