Kodi plays rentIPTV through the official PVR IPTV Simple Client add-on, which is in Kodi’s own repository. These steps are for Kodi 19, 20 and 21.

Step 1: Install PVR IPTV Simple Client

1. Open Kodi and select the Settings (gear) icon.
2. Go to Add-ons > Install from repository.
3. Select PVR clients > PVR IPTV Simple Client > Install.

On Linux, if PVR IPTV Simple Client isn’t in the list, install it from your distribution’s package manager (the package is usually called kodi-pvr-iptvsimple).

Step 2: Add your playlist

1. Go back to Add-ons > My add-ons > PVR clients > PVR IPTV Simple Client > Configure.
2. In Kodi 20 and later you’ll see a list of configurations. Select the default one, or Add add-on configuration.
3. Under General, set Location to Remote path (internet address).
4. Set M3U playlist URL to your categorized M3U link:

http://server1.rentiptv.com:80/get.php?username=demo4821&password=pass7395&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

Step 3: Add the TV guide

1. Open the EPG (or EPG settings) tab.
2. Set Location to Remote path (internet address).
3. Set XMLTV URL to:

http://server1.rentiptv.com:80/xmltv.php?username=demo4821&password=pass7395

1. Select OK. Restart Kodi when asked.

Step 4: Watch

From the Kodi home screen, select TV. Channels load on the first start, which can take a few minutes with a large playlist. Use Guide for the programme guide.

Tips

• Kodi’s live TV section shows channels only. For movies and series on demand, use an IPTV app or the web player.
• If channels or the guide don’t appear, go to Settings > PVR & Live TV > General > Clear data and restart Kodi.
