How to Set Up and Use Recording in iMPlayer
Follow these steps to enable recording in iMPlayer, set up scheduled or manual recordings, and manage your saved content.
1. Enable Permissions for iMPlayer
From your home screen, go to the Settings gear in the top-right corner.
Navigate to Apps → See all apps.
Locate iMPlayer. (If you haven’t installed it yet, install it first.)
Open Permissions → Files.
Change the setting to Allow (blue dot next to Allow should be selected).
2. Configure Recording Directory
Open iMPlayer.
Access the App Menu:
Hold the center button on your remote → choose Recordings and Reminders, or
Navigate to the bottom or left menu → select Recordings and Reminders.
Click the Settings gear in the top-right corner.
Select Change Recording Directory (fourth option down).
Choose the bottom option in the list and click Accept.
Your DVR setup is now configured.
3. Scheduling Recordings from the TV Guide
Open the TV Guide (press the Back button when in full screen).
Select the program you want to record.
Choose Schedule Recording.
The first time, you’ll be prompted to grant permission — allow it.
The scheduled program will now appear in your recordings list.
Tips:
If you get lost in the guide, press the Back button once to return to the present time (blue line).
You can schedule recordings far in advance as long as they are in the guide.
4. Manual Recording
Use this option to record further into the future than the guide allows.
Open the Record menu (press and hold the center button, or select Record in full screen).
Choose Schedule Manual Recording.
Set the following:
Date
Start time
Channel
Duration (e.g., 60 minutes)
Recording name (required)
Confirm the settings.
Manual recordings let you schedule specific times and dates beyond the guide’s range.
5. Live Recording
While watching a channel, press the center button.
Select Record.
Choose Live Recording to immediately begin recording the program you’re watching.
6. Viewing and Managing Recordings
Go to Recordings (via the menu or by holding the center button).
Here you can:
View scheduled recordings.
Play completed recordings.
Cancel a future recording (select it → choose Cancel).
Delete a recording to free space.
Note: A program must finish recording before playback is available.
7. Storage and Maintenance
iMPlayer stores recordings on your drive, which has plenty of space.
To free up storage, delete completed or unwanted recordings.
You can schedule weekly recordings in advance to maintain a consistent library of shows.
✅ You’re now set up to record, manage, and watch your favorite programs in iMPlayer.
