I am having troubles understanding how to install FFMpeg on my android box in order to run IPTV Recorder..    I got it to work just as described on my laptop.

I tried to different .apk's from the playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai....ffmpeggui  &  https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...ffmpeg.cli

But I can't seem to figure out where they installed to on my device in order to point IPTV Recorder at them.

I also put Khang's ffmpeg-3.3.2.tar.bz2 on a thumb drive and moved it to my box..  but I can't seem to extract the .bz2 file. 

I'd rather run an .apk then extract a .bz2

Any guidance ?

P.

 Don't use an apk.
Kodi won't have permissions to get to its version of the ffmpeg binary program.

Make sure the version of ffmpeg matches your architecture exactly.
Look at the top of your kodi.log file for details or use the "Droid Info" app from the Play Store.

There are lots of utils to open bz2 files.
I use 7zip on Windows.
