Kodi is free to download. The NVIDIA Shield TV Pro decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. There's no contract and no card on file waiting to be charged again: plans are prepaid, with a 7-day refund window.

Installing Kodi
Kodi on NVIDIA Shield TV Pro: Installing Kodi
- Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
- Search Google Play for Kodi with the remote or the voice button and install it. Where Play doesn't carry it, Downloader can fetch it from the developer's site once unknown apps are allowed.
- 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.
- Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.
Settings that help on the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro
Kodi on NVIDIA Shield TV Pro: Settings that help on the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro
- Turn on frame-rate matching in the box's display settings so 60fps sports don't judder.
- Leave the box on standby rather than unplugging it, so the guide stays fresh.
- Set the output resolution to match the TV; a 4K signal on a 1080p TV just adds work.
- Guide refresh: set the EPG update interval in the Simple Client settings so listings never run dry.
What you'll see on first launch
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.
Troubleshooting
Kodi on NVIDIA Shield TV Pro: Troubleshooting
- No channels under TV: open the Simple Client settings, confirm the M3U URL is saved, and restart Kodi.
- Guide off by an hour or more: check the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro's time zone first, then the EPG offset in Kodi.
- Kodi closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
- Channels but no guide: refresh the EPG in Kodi's settings, or give it a few minutes after the first sign-in.
