What locale is Kodi showing the program date in Kodi \ TV \ Guide ?
Is it in German or English?
If it is in English then the locale setting needs to be the same so that it can parse the date string into a date.
'Saturday, April 20, 2019, 12:03 PM'

In the ITPV Simple client I get the error Timer: The PVR backend does not support timers . How to solve this?

Good.
I'm not sure how to do a generic fix right now. When I do an update the language= fix will break.
If anyone else does please let me know.

You can't use the Kodi PVR menus for Recording. They are linked to the IPTV Simple Client internally.

You can do a timed recording from
Kodi \ TV \ Channels \ context menu \ IPTV Recorder Timer
or from
IPTV Recorder \ Channel Groups \ All Channels \ context menu \ Add One|Daily|Weekly Time Rule

If you have no channels and no programs in
IPTV Recorder \ Channel Groups \ All Channels
then there is a problem reading your xmltv and m3u files.

Did you restart Kodi and wait 60 seconds before IPTV Recorder loads the xmltv and m3u file?

There should be some errors in kodi.log about plugin.video.iptv.recorder if that failed.

If it loaded ok there should be at least 3 files in
userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder
channels1.m3u, xmltv1.xml and xmltv.db

I'm not Polish. Someone probably forked a copy of my code. Quite a few Polish people have asked questions about my addons.

If it creates a ts file it means that ffmpeg must have started but failed.

Turn on
Settings \ Debug \ ffmpeg stdout/stderr
Then try to record something else.
Look in
userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\jobs
for the stdout and stderr files.
They should tell you where ffmpeg failed.

Turn the debug setting back off again to record properly.

To be absolutely sure I have just downloaded newest version of ffmpeg.exe
so now I have this in my log file https://paste.kodi.tv/ufomizijok.kodi

You haven't set the location of ffmpeg correctly or the permissions are wrong.
Also start with Record Once from within IPTV Recorder. It looks like you started in the Channels menu of the Kodi PVR.
