Frequently asked questions
Is Kodi free to use for IPTV?
Yes. Kodi is a free, open-source media center, and the PVR IPTV Simple Client add-on it uses for IPTV is built in at no cost. You only need an M3U playlist from your IPTV provider.
Where do I find my EPG URL?
The EPG (electronic program guide) URL usually comes from the same IPTV provider that gave you your M3U playlist. You can often derive it from your M3U link or simply ask your provider for it.
Which devices can run Kodi for IPTV?
Kodi runs on a wide range of platforms, including Android, Windows, Linux, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox, Raspberry Pi, and desktop PCs, so you can use the same setup almost anywhere.
Why are my channels not loading after setup?
Make sure the PVR IPTV Simple Client is enabled, that your M3U link is active and correctly pasted, and that you waited for the on-screen notification confirming the channels finished loading.
