If you're looking for a program/script solution, then try the Services API. This
example is done from the command line:

     curl --silent --header Accept:application/json yourBackend:6544/Dvr/GetRecorded?Chanid=29800\&StartTime=2018-04-01T19:05:00|sed "s/\", 
\"/\n/g"|grep "^Title"

Remove the trailing |grep... to see everything available. You can do it from any browser
for a prettier display. I prefer Python to parse the data.

The Python Bindings have getCurrentRecording(recorder) available.
