Set up Kodi IPTV Simple with M3U and XMLTV

Use the IPTV Simple Client add-on for an authorized M3U source and add the XMLTV guide separately. Confirm that the add-on documentation matches the installed Kodi release and platform.

Start with the playlist

Install the PVR client through the Kodi add-on mechanism available on your build. Open its settings and identify whether the playlist comes from a local file or a URL. Apply the setting and test one live item before adding XMLTV.

Match guide data

Add the guide source using the add-on's XMLTV setting. Compare one channel key and a known current programme. If a single channel lacks listings, confirm its mapping before clearing Kodi's working PVR configuration.

Keep a restoration note

Record Kodi version, add-on version and whether each source is local or remote. Save the information that lets you restore the configuration privately. Do not include credentials or full source URLs in a forum topic.
