How to record shows

[Tvhound]

Does anyone know how to record TV shows on IPTV? I keep pressing the record button but nothing working. Do I need an external hard drive perharps?

In order to record from the PVR, the process has to be enabled at the server end, which it is not for the services here at the moment. You can Google for alternative methods.

Why do people keep saying recording has to be enabled at the server end? It does not. It has to be a feature enabled on our boxes. The data flows into our box and our box simply puts the data on a hard drive, memory stick, or whatever as long as the box has the software to do it. It doesn't work any differently than our satellite receivers. I hit record and the show records to a hard drive because the receiver manufacture wrote software to do it. Dish Network can stop the capability to record from their end because they have software control over their receivers. They do this on occasion with some PPV and special events. Guess what, I can still record because they don't have control over my receivers software. If the box manufacturers wrote recording software and provided a firmware update we could record the data coming into our boxes regardless of what the servers supposed capabilities are.

Now, as far as a work around to the lack of the recording feature that our boxes do not come with, I plug my AVOV box into my DVD recorder and when something comes on I hit record on the DVD machine. My DVD recorder has a hard drive in it so it has PVR capabilities. When I have the AVOV plugged into the DVD machine it records the video and I can pause live TV and rewind, and with enough buffer time I can fast forward all done through the DVD machine. Granted this is analog but until the box manufacturers support the recording feature this is the best I have.

there are many showing records in English series or Indian Hindi series options in IPTv. Where can I request to record my shows in options?

Try this for Mac, Linux and Windows. Works for me on any stream using Kodi.

IPTV is completely different from using a Satellite receiver. When you connect to the IPTV server, you're not downloading it like an ordinary file. Instead, you're downloading a bit of a file, playing it, and, while it's playing, simultaneously downloading the next part of the file ready to play in a moment or two. None of the file is stored for very long. Streaming works because your Mag (the client) and the server talk to each other. IPTV streaming involves using protocols adapted for simultaneous downloading and playing. That's the simple explanation. In order to record, you would need access to the entire stream, not bits and pieces. That's why it would have to be turned on from the server end. The Mag is ready to record. No extra software is needed (Other than a HD). It just needs access to the entire stream. IPTV in many countries is legal to stream but illegal to record.

If you can prove the Mag can record IPTV without it being turned on from the server end, I would love to know! That's why an external recording device can record in real time.

I believe Kodi recordings just being hushed abit with misinformation. People involved have since vanished.
See http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?19581-Any-chance-of-recording-capability-soon

Also if your smart enough http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?17348-PVR-IPTVSIMPLE-Recording-Found-(THANKS-TO-SIMPHAX)

Would enable someone to compile a windows version of pvr.simple that enables recording.

Easiest way if you have Nvidia Card is ALt-f9 records from shadowplay are quite nice.

Stalker (Backend) does not support Recording features.
Many PVR Clients do, but Stalker does not.
As noted, there are many other ways to record the streams, externally of Stalker itself.

Stalker (Backend) does Support Recording http://wiki.iptv.infomir.com.ua/doku.php/en:stalker:install_and_configure

But as I said misinformation. Just needs the pvr.simple recompiled from Fork to let people record without NFPS enabling it at their end if what they use is Multicast Stream

Add, Tho Theres next to no information coming trying to find out much about the Fork so it could be aload of BS.

But yea its dodgy subject.

It's a legality issue. Once you allow recording, you paint a giant target on your back.

That's right Mr Frostycold. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
