  2. Open Kodi → Add-ons → Install from repository → PVR clients → PVR IPTV Simple Client.
  3. Configure → M3U play list URL → paste your M3U link.

Search the Store on your Xbox for "IPTV". Several players support M3U playlists and EPG. Check ratings and the developer before installing.

Tips for Xbox

  • Plug a USB keyboard into the Xbox to type long URLs, or use the Xbox app on your phone.

  • Pin your IPTV app to the home screen for quick access.
