The setup, in order
Kodi on Xiaomi Mi Box S: The setup, in order
- Choose a plan on the pricing page and order on WhatsApp; your server URL, username and password arrive in about 60 seconds.
- 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.
- Let Kodi download the channel list and guide (a minute or two the first time), then add your regular channels to favorites.
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.

- Use the Ethernet port if your box has one.
- Leave the box on standby rather than unplugging it, so the guide stays fresh.
- Turn on frame-rate matching in the box's display settings so 60fps sports don't judder.
- Guide refresh: set the EPG update interval in the Simple Client settings so listings never run dry.
Common problems and fixes
Kodi on Xiaomi Mi Box S: Common problems and fixes
- 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 Xiaomi Mi Box S's time zone first, then the EPG offset in Kodi.
- Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Xiaomi Mi Box S. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
- Picture but no sound: set the Xiaomi Mi Box S's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
