Setup guide

Kodi is free to download. Resolution depends on the screen: HD is plenty on a phone or laptop, and 4K is worth it only on a 4K monitor or TV. Choose a plan, message us on WhatsApp, and expect your login details in about a minute.

  • Your M3U playlist link and XMLTV guide link
  • Admin rights to install apps on the PC
  • A 25 Mbps line handles one 4K stream comfortably; HD needs roughly 10 Mbps per screen

Installing Kodi

Kodi on Windows PC: Installing Kodi

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Install Kodi from the Microsoft Store or the developer's official download page.
  • 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.

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.

Settings that help on the Windows PC

  • Keep VLC installed as a backup player for testing the stream.
  • Turn on hardware acceleration in the player settings.
  • Use Ethernet for 4K on a desktop or docked laptop.
  • Guide refresh: set the EPG update interval in the Simple Client settings so listings never run dry.

Troubleshooting

Kodi on Windows PC: Troubleshooting

  • 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 Windows PC, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
  • Picture but no sound: set the Windows PC's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Windows PC. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.

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

Can I use the same IPTV Strong 8K login on the Windows PC and another device?

What if Kodi won't sign in?

No channels under TV: open the Simple Client settings, confirm the M3U URL is saved, and restart Kodi.

Is Kodi available in the Microsoft Store?

Yes, Kodi is distributed through the Microsoft Store. Listings can change, so if it's missing, another player from the same store will work with your login.

Can Kodi play 4K on the Windows PC?

Resolution depends on the screen: HD is plenty on a phone or laptop, and 4K is worth it only on a 4K monitor or TV. The channel also needs a 4K source and about 25 Mbps on your line.
