Thanks.
It should be as easy as finding a binary of ffmpeg for your system, downloading it to the sdcard and pointing to it from the addon Settings.
The tricky thing is finding a binary of ffmpeg for your system.
If your Android device isn't routed it is going to be hard to find the binary ffmpeg from an Android app or apk.
The permissions prevent apps looking at each other's files.
Have you tried the binaries I linked to in the first post?

Hi,
thanks for that addon.
I'm running kodi 17.6 (german) installed from kodi ppa on a linux ubuntu 18.04.
I can see the channel inside "Channel Groups" --> "All Channels" and can "Play Channel" successfully.
In iptv recorder configuration "Kodi Recording Folder" is set to default "special://temp" and "ffmpeg Recording Folder" is set to "/home/USER/Downloads/Filme".
Is this a correct configuration, or must I change "Kodi Recording Folder" to same folder as "ffmpeg Recording Folder" ?
This directory is writable.
But recording is not working. If I enter "Add One Time Rule" and insert date, start and end time, suddenly I got info "recording XXX" and at same second "recording XXX finished", but no video in /home/USER/Downloads/Filme
Any idea, what I missed ?

Hi,
thanks for the fast answer.
after changing "Kodi Recordings Folder" to "/home/USER/Downloads/Filme" and erasing the value in "ffmpeg Recordings Folder" I can see the recorded film in /home/USER/Downloads/Filme
Now my only open point is the timer for recording, which is not working for me.
After filling "Add One Time Rule" with date, start time and end time, recording starts immediately.
Any possibility to configure this ?

Hi,
I'm still using kodi 17.6, because in kodi.ppa is still version 17.6 for ubuntu 18.04.
Does new addon version 0.0.67 also help kodi 17.6 ?

Hi,
just one minute ago I entered Start 5 Minutes ahead from now and stop 15 minutes ahead. But recording starts immediately.
My kodi set is german. Maybe I try to set it to UK. Is UK fine for testing or should I use US ?
