Kodi IPTV Setup Guide

Unlock thousands of channels on your Kodi media center

Kodi v17 (Krypton)

Kodi v16 and Below

Launch Kodi and Access Settings

Start by opening Kodi on your device and navigating to the settings menu:

From the Kodi home screen, click on the gear icon to access Settings
In Kodi v17 (Krypton), the settings interface has been redesigned with a more modern look

Conseil de pro

Make sure your Kodi installation is up-to-date before proceeding with the IPTV setup. This ensures compatibility with the latest plugins.

Navigate to PVR IPTV Simple Client

In Kodi v17 (Krypton), the process to access the PVR client is slightly different:

From the Settings menu, select Add-ons
Then choose Install from repository
Sélectionner Kodi Add-on repository
Navigate to PVR Clients
Find and select PVR IPTV Simple Client

Note

If you don't see the PVR IPTV Simple Client, ensure that your Kodi installation includes the official Kodi Add-on repository. This should be included by default in standard installations.

Install and Configure the PVR Client

After selecting the PVR IPTV Simple Client, you need to install and configure it:

Cliquez sur le Installer button to download and install the add-on
Once installed, click on Configure
Accédez au General tab
Sélectionner M3U Play List URL option
Enter your M3U URL provided by your IPTV service
Cliquez D'ACCORD to save your configuration

Conseil de pro

Your M3U URL should be in the format: http://provider.domain/get.php?username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD&type=m3u_plus. Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual credentials.

Configure EPG (Optional but Recommended)

To get program guide information for your channels, you should also configure the EPG (Electronic Program Guide):

Within the PVR IPTV Simple Client configuration, go to the EPG tab
Enable EPG Settings if not already enabled
Set the EPG URL to the one provided by your IPTV service
Most IPTV services provide an XMLTV EPG URL in the format: http://provider.domain/xmltv.php?username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD

Note

Some IPTV providers include EPG data within the M3U playlist. In such cases, you can leave the EPG URL field empty. Check with your provider for specific instructions.

Restart Kodi and Access IPTV Channels

After configuring the PVR client, restart Kodi to apply all changes:

Close and relaunch Kodi application
Once Kodi has restarted, you should see a notification that the PVR client is connected
From the Kodi home screen, navigate to TV option
You should now see all your channels listed and available for viewing

Conseil de pro

You can customize the channel view in Kodi by using filters and favorites. Press the context menu button (usually C key on keyboard or long-press on remote) while a channel is selected to access additional options.
