Question: Once I have some rules set up, is there an easy way to get a list of all the shows that are planned to be recorded?  I can see it if I go into channel groups and scroll through all the channels but an "upcoming recordings" list would be very nice.

Thanks,
Dan

Maintenance \ Jobs | Rules

The Jobs will be the upcoming recordings that are either Once recordings or from Rules that match the current xmltv file.

If might be possible to overlay them back on the Kodi EPG grid but its not something I want to try myself.
I'll add the code if someone else does.

Recordings and Reminders are displayed in the epg grid in TV Guide Fullscreen but that is not linked to IPTV Recorder at all.   

Thanks!

My goal is to have an instance of Kodi running on my PC that just records shows and puts them into a windows share, then allow the TVs in my house (each with firesticks) to access the files.

For the TVs with firesticks, what do you suggest I use to play the recorded files?  Should I install the IPTV recorder plugin on each one or just use the "Files" selection in Kodi?  Or maybe there is another simpler app I should use to view (seems like overkill to install Kodi on each firestick just to view the videos).  Thoughts or suggestions?  For live TV viewing I use TiviMate but there doesn't appear to be an option to access videos from a windows share.  

I've never owned a Fire Stick so I don't know specifically.

Personally I have a linux server on an old laptop and use Emby to serve up videos to android devices.
I've just come across Jellyfin. That looks interesting. It is a completely free fork of Emby.

For any iptv streams I want to reliably record I actually use tvheadend on the server but it is tricky to set up.
IPTV Recorder can also record addon streams.

I always get frustrated with playing videos on Android.
Kodi takes too long to load.
MX Player is great for playing but not for navigating network streams.

VLC should be good but I always fall back to MX Player.
[EDIT] For the ts files from IPTV Recorder, VLC is probably the easiest way to access them without using Kodi.
If you use Kodi you could point to the same recordings folder and get the extra info from the json files.

My favourite way is to make a simple web server for videos with thumbnails and play them in a <video> tag.
Chrome on Android can play most video formats or hand playback off to MX Player.
Then you have complete control over the presentation.
