Would it be possible to add a feature to record, pause and store on the frontend device instead of just the server?
I have a few friends and family that use my dvr, so I end up with they're recordings. The thought came to mind while deleting all these drama shows. Lol.
It is not possible for a client (front end) to record directly, the server is the only one that can record.
The only way to get separate storage per user is to set up multiple servers: one per user.
It may be possible to use a powerful enough machine to run both the server and a client to get a somewhat one-box solution for one user. Something like an NVidia Shield may be able to do it. I don't have one so I can't tell for sure.
There are a couple of people around these forums who have a setup with multiple servers. I'm sure they can provide more details about their setups.
Channels is designed as a household DVR, not one for sharing with multiple people, so you're going to run into these kind of annoyances if you're sharing with friends and family. Channels isn't designed for this.
I'd suggest helping out your friends and family by helping them set up their own DVR so that they can all have their own libraries.
