How to Set Up IPTVBROS on Kodi - Step by Step
Follow these steps to start streaming in minutes. No technical knowledge required.
Download Kodi from kodi.tv (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android) or the Amazon Appstore (Firestick, via sideloading). Kodi is free and open-source on all platforms.
In Kodi, go to Settings → Add-ons → My Add-ons → PVR Clients. Find 'PVR IPTV Simple Client' and Enable it. If not visible, install it from the Kodi repository first.
Open PVR IPTV Simple Client settings. In 'M3U Playlist URL' field, paste your IPTVBROS M3U URL (provided in your welcome email). This is different from Xtream Codes - use the M3U URL specifically.
In the EPG Settings tab of PVR IPTV Simple Client, paste your IPTVBROS XMLTV EPG URL. This loads 7-day program schedules for all 27,000+ channels into Kodi's TV Guide.
Enable the PVR IPTV Simple Client add-on and restart Kodi completely. After restart, open Live TV from the Kodi home screen. Your 27,000+ IPTVBROS channels are now available.
Edit advancedsettings.xml (in Kodi userdata folder) to increase buffer: set cachemembuffersize to 419430400 (400MB) and readbufferfactor to 4. This eliminates most IPTV buffering in Kodi.
Best IPTV Apps for Kodi
These apps connect IPTVBROS to your Kodi using your Xtream Codes credentials.
The official way to integrate IPTVBROS with Kodi. Free, included in every Kodi install, supports M3U playlists and XMLTV EPG. Delivers full IPTVBROS functionality inside the Kodi media centre interface.
Required for HLS stream playback in Kodi. Install from the Kodi repository alongside PVR IPTV Simple Client to ensure IPTVBROS's HLS-based streams (4K channels) play correctly.
Many users run TiviMate (for IPTV) and Kodi (for personal media) on the same device. TiviMate's IPTV performance is better than Kodi's PVR client, but Kodi's library management is unmatched.
Use the latest Kodi version (21 Omega as of 2026) for the best IPTV performance. Newer Kodi versions have improved PVR handling, better EPG management, and more stable 4K playback.
The most common Kodi IPTV buffering fix: create an advancedsettings.xml file in Kodi's userdata folder with this content: `<advancedsettings><network><cachemembuffersize>419430400</cachemembuffersize><readbufferfactor>4</readbufferfactor></network></advancedsettings>`. This allocates 400MB of RAM buffer for IPTV streams - most buffering issues in Kodi with IPTVBROS are resolved by this single change.
Frequently Asked Questions - IPTV on Kodi
Everything you need to know about using IPTVBROS on Kodi.
How do I set up IPTVBROS with Kodi?
To use IPTVBROS with Kodi: (1) Open Kodi and go to Settings > Add-ons > Install from Repository. (2) Find and install 'PVR IPTV Simple Client' from the PVR clients section. (3) Configure the add-on by entering your IPTVBROS M3U URL in the 'M3U Playlist URL' field and your EPG XMLTV URL in the XMLTV URL field - both are provided in your IPTVBROS welcome message. (4) Enable the add-on and restart Kodi. Your 27,000+ IPTVBROS channels will appear in Kodi's TV section.
What devices can I use Kodi with IPTVBROS on?
Kodi with IPTVBROS works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Amazon Firestick (via sideloading), Android TV, iOS (limited), Raspberry Pi and many other platforms. For Firestick, Kodi can be sideloaded using the Downloader app. On Windows and Mac, Kodi installs like any standard application. While Kodi IPTV works on many platforms, TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro typically offer a simpler and more stable IPTV experience than Kodi for most users.
Is Kodi legal to use with IPTVBROS?
Kodi is completely legal, open-source media centre software. Using Kodi with IPTVBROS via the official PVR IPTV Simple Client add-on is legal. Kodi itself does not provide any content - it is simply a media player that reads streams from IPTVBROS's servers using your subscription credentials. IPTVBROS is an IPTV subscription service and users are responsible for the content they access. Using legitimate IPTV add-ons and avoiding piracy repositories in Kodi keeps your usage fully compliant.
Why is IPTV buffering in Kodi but not in IPTV Smarters Pro?
Kodi's IPTV Simple Client can sometimes buffer more than dedicated IPTV apps because Kodi's buffer settings are more conservative by default. To fix Kodi IPTV buffering with IPTVBROS: edit the advancedsettings.xml file to increase the buffer size (cachemembuffersize and readbufferfactor). Alternatively, install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro which are purpose-built for IPTV and have optimised buffer settings out of the box. IPTVBROS's support team can advise on Kodi buffer settings if needed.
Does Kodi work with Firestick for IPTVBROS?
Yes, Kodi can be installed on Amazon Firestick via the Downloader app (sideloading). Open Downloader on Firestick, enter the official Kodi download URL (kodi.tv/download), download the Firestick APK, and install it. Then configure PVR IPTV Simple Client with your IPTVBROS M3U URL. Note: TiviMate is generally recommended over Kodi on Firestick for better performance and a simpler IPTV interface.
What is the best Kodi version for IPTV with IPTVBROS?
Kodi 21 Omega (the latest stable release as of 2026) is the best version for IPTV with IPTVBROS. It has improved PVR IPTV handling, better EPG management, enhanced 4K codec support, and more stable HLS stream playback compared to older versions. Always use the latest stable Kodi release from kodi.tv - avoid unofficial builds as they may contain modified code.
How do I get the EPG working in Kodi with IPTVBROS?
To enable EPG in Kodi with IPTVBROS: in PVR IPTV Simple Client settings, go to the 'EPG Settings' tab. In 'XMLTV URL', paste your IPTVBROS EPG URL (provided in your welcome email). Set 'Days to display EPG' to 7. Restart Kodi and wait 2-5 minutes for EPG data to download. The EPG shows program schedules in Kodi's built-in TV Guide. If the EPG URL was not in your welcome email, contact IPTVBROS support to obtain it.
Can I record IPTV channels in Kodi with IPTVBROS?
Yes, Kodi's PVR system supports recording live TV to local storage when using IPTVBROS. To record: in the Kodi EPG, select a channel or programme and press Record. You need a PVR backend like TVHeadend for full recording functionality, or use Kodi's built-in timer recording directly. Recordings are saved to your device's storage. TiviMate Premium also supports recording as a simpler alternative to Kodi's PVR recording setup.
