Using IPTV on Kodi is a popular way to stream live TV channels, on-demand content, and even movies and TV shows. Kodi is a versatile media player that supports a wide range of add-ons, including IPTV add-ons. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use IPTV on Kodi:
1. Install Kodi:
- If you don’t already have Kodi installed on your device, you can download it from the official Kodi website (https://kodi.tv/download). Kodi is available for various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and more.
2. Launch Kodi:
- Open Kodi on your device once it’s installed.
3. Enable Unknown Sources:
- By default, Kodi restricts the installation of add-ons from unknown sources for security reasons. To install third-party IPTV add-ons, you’ll need to enable “Unknown Sources”:
- Go to “Settings” by clicking the gear icon in the top-left corner.
- Select “System” or “System Settings,” depending on your Kodi version.
- Click on “Add-ons” on the left sidebar.
- Toggle on the “Unknown Sources” option and confirm the warning message.
4. Install an IPTV Add-on:
- There are several IPTV add-ons available for Kodi. Here’s how to install one:
- Go back to the main Kodi menu.
- Click on “Add-ons” in the left sidebar.
- Click on the “Package Installer” icon (usually looks like an open box) at the top-left corner.
- Select “Install from repository” or “Install from zip file” depending on the source of the add-on.
5. Configure the IPTV Add-on:
- After installing the IPTV add-on, you’ll need to configure it with your IPTV provider’s details, including the M3U playlist or IPTV URL, username, and password. The configuration steps may vary depending on the add-on you choose.
6. Access IPTV Channels:
- Once configured, you can access the IPTV channels and content provided by the add-on. You’ll typically find these channels in the add-on’s menu or under “Video Add-ons” in the main Kodi menu.
7. Enjoy IPTV Content:
- Browse through the available channels and enjoy live TV, on-demand content, and more.
Please note that the availability of IPTV add-ons can change over time, and the legality of certain IPTV sources may be questionable. It’s important to use legitimate and authorized sources to ensure you have access to high-quality content and to comply with copyright laws.
Also, be aware that Kodi add-ons can come and go, so you may need to periodically update or replace your IPTV add-on if it becomes obsolete or unsupported. Always exercise caution and do your research when using third-party add-ons with Kodi.
