This tutorial will teach you how to record IPTV on any Android-powered device. This process works great on most Android TV Boxes, NVIDIA SHIELD, Mi Box, and 1st/2nd Generation Fire TV Boxes.
Replacing cable and satellite with an IPTV service is something that many people are doing, which saves lots of money. One big feature that has been missing is the ability to record IPTV on streaming devices.
Although many of us no longer require recorded television due to all of the on-demand content available, there are still times when this is needed. There are some broadcasts that are typically difficult to find through on-demand outlets such as sports, news shows, special events, and daily shows.
To follow this tutorial, you will need an Android device and IPTV subscription that allows you to use their URL for setup purposes. Some IPTV providers don’t allow this and this tutorial won’t work with those.
Your Android device must be capable of storing large video files for this solution to work well. Most streaming devices come with small internal drives but we can usually extend the storage by using USB drives or SD cards.
Unfortunately, the 2nd Generation Fire TV Stick and Fire TV 3 do not allow us to expand the storage like most other Android TV boxes do. We can only hope that the new Fire TV Cube will allow us to expand storage with external drives like the 1st Generation and 2nd Generation Fire TV Boxes did.
In the following video tutorial, I am using the Mecool M8S Pro L Android TV Box along with Area 51 and Eternal TV IPTV services. I am also expanding the storage on this device with a SanDisk Ultra CZ48 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive.
If you would like to watch an IPTV channel at the same time as you are recording, you must ensure that you order at least 2 connections from your IPTV provider. The reason for this is because one connection is used to record IPTV stream and the other is used to view the channel that you are watching.

How many hours of recording time will I have with the SanDisk Ultra USB 256GB you recommended?
I’m just trying to figure out how many GBs of storage I want to add to my Nvidia.
Hello, great video for iptv extreme. Having a problem with the recording/ playback functions. Playback jumps back a few seconds automatically and there is no audio intermittently. Also when resuming from fast forward playback is choppy. Is there a fix for this? Takes away from the viewing experience. I am using the Nvidia Shield 16G with Samsung SSD T5 500G external storage.
Hi Andre, are you seeing this same problem in the app that your service provider normally provides?
Interesting and simpler than most vids that I’ve reviewed. I have KS IPTV.
I still have some questions????
1.Does Restart / Nvidia Shield have to be jail broken for this app?
2. If so then how?
3. Is it now possible to set recording timer daily or for weekly repeat recording?
Thanks,
Joey
Is there a way to use with Nitro TV apk?
I take it then that you are using IPTV Extreme because the record function does not work on the Area 51 IPTV app?
Hi Jim, this was published prior to Area 51 implementing that. You can definitely try this if Area 51 isn’t working for you.
I put a question on this thread last night, but for some reason I can’t find it here anymore. I also see the question has been asked before, but don’t see an answer for this. How do you need to setup IP EXTREME PRO, Nvidia Shield & Your IP TV app to ensure it will record content while you are away from the house & not actively using the Shield, IP EXTREME Pro or Your IP TV service. I setup the Timer & it shows Waiting, but dont know if there are any other requirements to record something while your… Read more »
Does extreme player work with sportz IPTV? I’ve tried and I get an error message
Do you have to keep your device powered on for the Record feature to work for IPTV?
Hi Troy, I have a fire tv cube with a usb 32gb thumb drive that shows as external storage but when I record with the iptv extreme app it uses my internal storage.
How can I get it to use the external storage?
Hello, you can try changing the recording directory in settings and try pointing that to your USB drive.
I went into the extreme settings to Download folder but I can’t find a way to change it to the external storage, that option isn’t showing.
Any idea’s?
I even tried moving the iptv extreme app to the usb drive but it still uses the internal storage for the recording.
Have to select the folder, at the bottom of the screen, to select that folder to be used.
Have to go into settings abs direct the download folder.
