Recording in Kodi

Other media player (since not allow to name media player other than Kodi here), has options to record anything that is playing in media player at the moment.

For example: Shift-R starts recording, Shift-R again stops recording. Then file is saved. Very simple, no hassle.

But in Kodi, I heard of PVR Simple client, but it need epg and back end, etc.

So is there a simple way to record anything that is playing in Kodi? using Kodi commands?

If not, how hard is it to add recording option to Kodi?
