WMC backend Kodi front end - neilanthonystuckey - 2017-11-16
Hello all,
Sorry if this has been discussed before. I am new to forums and not sure on how this all works. Anyway i am waning to get rid of my set top boxes. I am wanting to use a Silicon Dust HD Home Run Prime with a cable card subscription from Mediacom. If i setup Windows 7 media center with the HD Home Run Prime can i schedule and view recordings from Kodi ? I know i have to use Windows Media Center to DVR DRM channels but i am unclear if i can schedule recordings and view them from Kodi ?
thanks,
Neil

Yes, you can schedule any recording (including DRM) and watch non-drm recordings and live TV from Kodi.
Read the wiki but the quick steps will be:
1. Install Windows 7 and get Windows Media Center fully operational.
2. Install ServerWMC on the Windows 7 machine.
3. Install Kodi on a client machine (or the same machine for testing) and configure the PVR WMC add-on.

That's the exact setup I have. (FiOS/Frontier)
Have 2 HDHR Primes (2 Cable Cards= 6 Tuners), TunerSalad & ServerWMC on Win7
Raspberry Pi's @ TV's (Hardwired Cat5e cable)
Also have Raspberry Pi w/ HiFiBerry DAC + 7" Official touchscreen for whole house music.
