I've tackled the Android/IOS devices kind of differently.
I have Plex Media Center installed on my mythtv server. It serves
content out that is not in mythtv and does an amazing job of it. But
you can also load a MythTV channel/plugin and share out your MythTV
recordings through Plex as well. It will list recording by title,
category, recording group, channel and recording date. It pulls the
info from the database.

The nice thing about it (besides streaming working very well) is that
you can sync your content. Plex will transcode it to your desired
quality setting and download it to your device for offline viewing.
