I spent so many hours I lost count on looking for how can I make my service that I pay for into m3u files for kodi. I want to distribute to family members(and maybe split the bill hehe). All the while learning something else new. I have DirectTV AND Spectrum(don't ask) formally known as Brighhous so I can go either way but the closest I came to Linux is my Android phones. I primarily use Windows.

I got the backend part down that does the recording but now I am confused because if I go with my cable company the Cable Card has all these restrictions(Copy Once, Copy Freely ect..)

If someone can point me in the right direction I can see how far I can get from there. It took me this long to ask for this as I hate asking for help unless necessary .
