Adding your login to Kodi

Kodi needs one add-on for IPTV: PVR IPTV Simple Client. Open Add-ons > Install from repository > PVR clients, install it, then open its settings.

Paste the M3U playlist URL into the playlist field and the XMLTV URL into the guide field, then restart Kodi. Channels appear under TV in the main menu.

Kodi: Five minutes in the settings menu

  • Guide refresh: set the EPG update interval in the Simple Client settings so listings never run dry.
  • Refresh rate: turn on Adjust display refresh rate under Settings > Player > Videos for smoother sports.
  • Start-up: set Kodi to open on the TV section if live channels are what you use most.
  • Versions: keep Kodi on the same version across devices so add-on settings carry over cleanly.

If Kodi isn't for you

Plex is free to install but needs a Plex Pass for live TV, runs on 3 platforms and needs a Plex server and a tuner bridge. IPTV Extreme Pro is free, runs on 3 platforms and loads M3U playlists. Kodi, by comparison, is free and covers 7 platforms. The same login works in all of them, so trying a second player costs nothing but a few minutes.

FAQ

Questions About Kodi

Not covered here? Send it on WhatsApp and a person on the support desk will answer, any hour of the day.

Does Kodi come with channels?

No. Kodi is a player; it shows whatever your provider supplies. With an IPTV Strong 8K login it plays 32,000+ live channels plus 25,000+ series and 120,000+ movies on demand.

Why won't Kodi accept my login?

Usually a typo in the server URL. Include http:// and the port number, and check capital letters in the username and password.

Is Kodi free?

Yes, Kodi is free to download. Some players sell optional extras; that money goes to the developer, not to your IPTV plan.

Which device should I run Kodi on?

Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a common choice, followed by the Fire TV Stick 4K. Any device on Windows, macOS, and Android will run it.

Can I use Kodi on more than one device?
