How to Watch Apollo Television on Kodi (PVR IPTV Simple Client)

Last updated

Kodi is a free media center that runs on Windows, Mac, Android boxes, Firesticks and the Raspberry Pi. Apollo Television connects through PVR IPTV Simple Client, an add-on from Kodi's official repository, using your M3U address plus a guide (XMLTV) address. The menus are the same on every device, so this one guide covers all of them.

01Step by step on Kodi (PVR IPTV Simple Client)

  1. 1

    Turn on PVR IPTV Simple Client

    In Kodi, open Settings → Add-ons → My add-ons → PVR clients → PVR IPTV Simple Client, and choose Enable.

    • Kodi 19 Matrix, 20 Nexus and 21 Omega all use these menus
    • Not listed? Install it from Kodi's official repository under Install from repository → PVR clients
  2. 2

    Point it at your playlist

    Choose Configure → General. Set Location to 'Remote path (Internet address)' and paste the Apollo Television M3U address.

    • Location: Remote path (Internet address)
    • M3U playlist URL: the address from your activation message

    Your activation message (sent on WhatsApp a few minutes after you order) holds the username, password and server or M3U address. Treat them like a password: anyone who has them uses one of your plan's connections.

  3. 3

    Add the TV guide

    On the EPG tab, paste the XMLTV guide address we send you so programme times appear.

  4. 4

    Restart Kodi

    Quit Kodi completely and open it again. Your channels and guide appear under TV on the home screen.

FAQ

Kodi (PVR IPTV Simple Client): problems and fixes

Kodi shows 0 channels

Quit Kodi fully rather than backing out to the menu. If it's still empty, check the M3U address for typos and confirm Location is set to Remote path.

No programme information in the guide

Paste the XMLTV address on the client's EPG tab and restart Kodi. The first guide download can take a minute.

Do I need any other Kodi add-ons?

No. PVR IPTV Simple Client is enough. Avoid unofficial add-on packs ("builds"); they slow Kodi down and can break the PVR client.
