Newer HDHome Run devices can act as UPnP/DLNA servers, which allow setting up in Kodi to be as easy as adding a normal UPnP file source.

-= How to watch live TV from an HDHomeRun device in XBMC =
-# We assume that your HDHomeRun device is up and running in your network and is accessible from the XBMC computer. To test that add a new video source and in a Browse dialog select an HDHomeRun device: after clicking on it XBMC will perform a network search and show you the list of available HDHomeRun devices. Verify that your device is in the list. You don't have to complete adding a new source and may click cancel at this point.
+== zuki.pvr.hdhomerundvr ==
-# XBMC accesses a live TV network video stream from an HDHomeRun device via a URL using a built-in HDHomeRun driver. You can either configure a corresponding video source for each channel that you want to watch from the HDHomeRun or you can generate a list of text files with .strm extension each of them containing a single URL line that points to a certain channel.
+{{Resize|120%|Main page: '''[https://github.com/djp952/pvr.hdhomerundvr/wiki zuki.pvr.hdhomerundvr Git wiki]'''}}
-# To generate .strm files on a Windows computer see [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=139070 Windows HDHomerun Stream Builder] or [http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6147 this guide]. For a Linux or Mac OS X machine see [http://code.google.com/p/hdhomeruntoolbox/ here].
-#* Note: these scripts generate different output. If one didn't work for you, try another. For combination Eden beta/Fedora 16/HDHR Prime/Comcast Bay Area, hdhomeruntoolbox worked, while hdhr-mkchan did not.
-# When you have the .strm files copy them to some folder on your XBMC machine and then create a new video source and point it to that folder. When you select that video source you'll see a list of .strm files. By clicking on any of them XBMC will play back a corresponding live TV channel. Switching channels is done exactly like switching between movies: stop the currently viewed channel then select and click on another one in the list.
-# For XBMC on Windows to play live TV from an HDHomeRun you need to manually configure a firewall if it's turned on. Add a new rule for an application, select XBMC executable and then select "private" network and you are done.
-# If you have any problems with configuring XBMC for HDHomeRun use [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=25099 reach out for help here].
