I'm pretty sure they've limited you to one stream at a time.
I've had at least two streams recording while I watch another.
In my version once the recorded is handed off to ffmpeg Kodi has nothing to do with the stream.
I'm not entirely sure that is the case with the rkubera original version as the pvr.iptvsimple addon connects to the stdout of ffmpeg.

that makes sense. Do you think this will be changed so I can record for example ESPN and can watch ESPN at the same time?

You should be able to watch the recording as it records if you're lucky.
It usually works for me but I get occasional crashes for streams that go through a python addon as a redirection server.

Any way to get the subtitle in the stream ?

No.
@el_gonz87 has been having a lot of success with recording in IPTV Simple Client.
Have you had a look?

The latest build is 17.0.0-Krypton-Win-Record.
https://github.com/primaeval/pvr.iptvsim...Win-Record
and the zip is
https://github.com/primaeval/pvr.iptvsim...simple.zip

It is based on the pvr.iptvsimple fork from @rkubera.
rtmpdump support has been removed.
Recording is passed off to a background process using ffmpeg.exe which you can get from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

Set the recording path in Settings.
ts is the most reliable ffmpeg file extension to deal with timestamp issues.
The ffmpeg parameters are a simple -c copy.

I expect it will only work on basic stream urls so far.
Extra parameters separated by | or space are simply passed to ffmpeg and won't work.
You could wrap ffmpeg in a script to deal with that until it is fixed.

This works good. Do you have a setup for android?

I've still got all my build files on an ubuntu vm for compling for android.
What do you need to know?
There are a lot of steps.

You need to follow this carefully.

The Land branch if for android krypton.

Is there anyway this could work for Xbox One S?

I have no idea. If it is close to Windows you should be able compile it for Xbox.
You might want to start here:
https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kodi_for_Windows

Remember this version is for the Krypton branch, not master.

This version has only basic recording.
Keep an eye on @el_gonz87 for full functionality.

Or if you just want to record iptv streams today on any platform try IPTV Recorder:

Okay, this might be obvious, but playing a stream, is it recording that stream or recording a new stream with FFMpeg? You are actually downloading twice as much?

I noticed with the IPTV Recorder you can play the recording while watching, in case you have limited bandwidth at home.

Thx.

This addon launches a seperate ffmpeg background process to do the recording.
If you are watching it in IPTV Simple Client at the same time it will double your bandwidth usage.
You might be able to watch it from the recording folder at the same time but it might crash Kodi.
Try to keep to a simple transport stream .ts file type to minimize the possibility of crashing.

I'm not going to do anything more with this addon myself.
Try to get @el_gonz87 addon to compile if you want more features.

Hello, is there any option to use this addon on Leia?

No.
There are quite a lot of changes to the internal Kodi pvr libraries in Leia.

Primaeval, do you know if Gonzalo's plugin for recording IPTV works with 18? I'm having a heck of a time getting it to compile using Ubuntu and the latest version of Kodi 18.

The instructions aren't as intuitive as hoped.
