Best Windows app to record IPTV, possible to do in background?

by deSSy2724

What is the best PC app or are there better ways to record IPTV on PCs?

Depends. You could use VLC to record a stream or ffmpeg but if you're looking for DVR style series recording I'd say xteve (free program that emulates a TV tuner for Plex) and Plex Pass ($5 a month) which unlocks Plex live TV & DVR.

I've personally gone the xteve and Plex pass route which works great for using it throughout the house on our devices and record our shows to our NAS.

I made a batch script that let you drag and drop your m3u file over it, in order to create a menu and let you choose what stream do you want to download on your PC !

REMARK : This batch script require ffmpeg with it to do his work !
