How to set up your IPTV in KODI?

We’ll first use Kodi’s official PVR IPTV Simple Client to stream IPTV. We’ll start by installing the PVR addon. After that, we’ll configure it and check out how to stream live TV channels. Lastly, I’ll list some great sources for M3U playlists.

Let’s get started.

Part 1: Install the PVR IPTV Simple Client

The PVR IPTV Simple Client addon lets you set up IPTV on your device. So let’s install the addon.

1. Launch your Kodi application.

2. Click on the Settings Gear in the top-left corner, just below the Kodi logo.

3. On the next page, select the Add-ons option.

4. Then, click on Install from repository.

5. Select All repositories.

6. On the next screen, scroll down and select PVR clients.

7. Then, scroll down and select PVR IPTV Simple Client.

8. The addon’s dashboard will open. Select Install.

9. Click OK to install the necessary supporting addons.

10. PVR IPTV Simple Client will start downloading on your Kodi app.

11. After a few seconds, it will start installing.

12. Lastly, you’ll see an Add-on installed notification in the top-right corner of your screen.  

Part 2: Add an M3U Playlist to PVR IPTV Simple Client

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the PVR IPTV Simple Client on your Kodi app. But it’s of no use if you haven’t configured it the right way. Follow the steps below to add a playlist to the addon for streaming IPTV:

1. On the same screen, select PVR IPTV Simple Client.

2. On the dashboard of the addon, select Configure.

3. Then, go to the General tab.

4. Within the General tab, scroll down and select M3U playlist URL.

5. A window with a keyboard will pop up. If you have an M3U playlist of your own or from your cable provider, you may enter it now to add it. Otherwise, enter https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u and click OK.

Note: FireStickTricks.com doesn’t host or distribute this M3U playlist.

6. Click on the OK button.

7. Exit and then restart your Kodi application.

8. After restarting, PVR IPTV Simple Client will launch automatically.

9. The PVR addon will start loading the channels from the M3U playlist you entered. Wait for the addon to finish importing the channels. 

When the channels have been added, scroll down to the TV tab in Kodi.

Then, scroll to the right and click on the Channels option. 

You’ll see the list of all channels from the M3U playlist(s) you’ve added.

Select any channel, and after a few seconds, it will start playing.
