Setup guide

Kodi is free to download. On a phone or laptop screen, HD feeds already look sharp; 4K only pays off on a 4K display. There's no contract and no card on file waiting to be charged again: plans are prepaid, with a 7-day refund window.

Have these ready: Kodi on MacBook

Kodi on MacBook: Have these ready

  • Your M3U playlist link and XMLTV guide link
  • Permission to open apps from identified developers, if the app comes from its own site
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream

Installing Kodi

Kodi on MacBook: Installing Kodi

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Get Kodi from the Mac App Store or the developer's own site; if it arrives as a download, drag it into Applications.
  • In Kodi, open Add-ons > Install from repository > PVR clients, install PVR IPTV Simple Client, then paste the M3U playlist URL and the XMLTV guide URL into its settings and restart Kodi.
  • Give the first sync a couple of minutes, then hide the groups you never use and favorite the rest.

Tune it for the MacBook

Kodi on MacBook: Tune it for the MacBook

  • Use Ethernet for 4K on a desktop or docked laptop.
  • Keep VLC installed as a backup player for testing the stream.
  • Connect to a TV over HDMI for a bigger picture with the same app.
  • Guide refresh: set the EPG update interval in the Simple Client settings so listings never run dry.

After you sign in

Kodi asks to restart after you configure the Simple Client. Channels then appear under TV in the main menu, and the guide grid fills in after the first EPG download.

If Kodi won't cooperate

Kodi on MacBook: If Kodi won't cooperate

  • No channels under TV: open the Simple Client settings, confirm the M3U URL is saved, and restart Kodi.
  • Kodi closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the MacBook, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the MacBook. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • Picture but no sound: set the MacBook's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
