Kodi (formerly XBMC) is a technology convergence application developed by the Kodi Foundation for Windows and other platforms. It allows users to play and view videos, music, and other digital media files from local storage, network storage, or the Internet. However, it doesn’t have built-in recording functionality, and you need to install a PVR add-on [1] to record TV with Kodi.
If you don’t want to install a PVR add-on, you can use a powerful third-party recorder [2] to make a recording from Kodi. And the following post demonstrates the two methods to record from Kodi in detail. Please read on.

PVR (Personal Video Recorder) add-ons allow Kodi to communicate with your TV tuner and schedule recordings. Thus, you can install a PVR add-on to make Kodi record live TV. Some popular options include NextPVR, MediaPortal, and Tvheadend.
After installing the PVR client, you need to connect and configure it. Here are the instructions:
A Step-by-step Guide on How to Watch IPTV with EPG on Kodi >>
1. Connect a TV tuner
Connect the TV tuner device to your computer using a USB tuner or an internal tuner card (Make sure it is compatible with Kodi). And follow the manufacturer’s instructions to set it up.
2. Configure the PVR add-on
Go to the Kodi settings (by clicking the gear-shaped button on the main interface) and select PVR & Live TV. Then, choose the PVR add-on you installed and click Configure to check the TV tuner device, channel lineup, and other settings.
3. Scan for channels
Go to the PVR add-on settings and select the option to scan for channels. This will populate your channel list and help you schedule recordings.
4. Schedule and record TV shows
Head over to the TV section in Kodi, browse the TV guide, and select the show you want to record. Then, modify the recording options, such as start time, end time, and frequency. At last, save the recording, and you can access it through the PVR add-on or the Kodi library.
A PVR add-on is necessary to record on Kodi. Plus, the PVR client requires EPG and back end. This method of recording TV with Kodi is quite complicated. Is there a simple way to record anything that is playing in Kodi? The answer is yes. Since Kodi is a media player with third-party add-ons to free stream copyrighted content on Windows, an external screen recorder for PC can capture content from this app with ease.

Press "OK" to confirm your recording area.
Open the drop-down options by clicking the inverted triangle button. Here, you can choose the video format, quality, frame rate, and audio source.
Note. The “Desktop” audio is selected by default. If you want to record system audio and mic (external voices), choose the “Microphone”, too. Otherwise, uncheck the option to record Kodi without background noise.
Click the bottom triangle button to change the output folder or leave it as default.
Now, run the Kodi media player and find the video you want to record. Click the red “REC” button in HD Video Converter Factory Pro to begin recording from Kodi after five seconds. During the countdown, you should be ready to play your content in Kodi. Once done, press “Ctrl + F1” to stop the recording, and you will get a recording file named “WonderFox_Video_Recording_001.mp4”.
