Is there a Youtube video someplace which shows how to use this add-on ?

I installed it from the Repo..  it opens..  I went into settings and set my record folder and path to ffmpeg..    

But I don't see in simple PVR how to pick a program to record..    and if I launch the IPTV Recorder add-on, I don't see how to surf to a stream to record in the future..  or at all.

 I haven't made any videos.
The quickstart on the first post should be enough.

This addon doesn't integrate with the IPTV Simple Client PVR gui at all.
It just uses the xmltv and m3u links from IPTV Simple Client for the programmes and channel streams data.

Can you play channels and see programs in the normal Kodi PVR using IPTV Simple Client?
If you can then just restart Kodi and wait for the xmltv/m3u to be loaded into IPTV Recorder.
There is a default wait of 60 seconds in case IPTV Simple Client gets its data from a download from another addon.
The setting is in Settings\Service.

If that works check there are channels in Channel Groups and you can play a channel from the context menu.
If that works try Record Once.
Make sure the ffmpeg path is a full path and the recordings folder is writeable.

If not have a look in kodi.log for any ERROR messages and post them.
