IPTV on Xbox: MyIPTV Player and Kodi
Compatible with Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X. The console won't replace a set-top box, but it's sufficient for watching TV: the player can be installed from the Microsoft Store, and the playlist is obtained from the Utgard TV cabinet.
What You Will Need
- An Utgard TV account with an active package or a trial for 2 hours.
- A link to the playlist from the "Playlist" section in the cabinet.
- An Xbox with internet, preferably via cable.
Don't have an account yet? Create an account and enable the trial: only an email is needed, no card required.
Step 1. MyIPTV Player
- Open the Microsoft Store on the console, find MyIPTV Player, and install it — the app is free.
- Launch it, open "Settings," and select "Add new playlist and EPG source."
- In the "Remote channel list" section, enter any name and paste the playlist link, then click "Add remote list."
- Return to "Settings," in the "Select channel playlist" section, choose the added playlist, and click "Refresh" — channels will appear in a grouped list.
Step 2. Kodi — if you need a TV guide and archive
Kodi is also available in the Microsoft Store. It features the PVR IPTV Simple Client with a full TV guide and archive on channels with recording — setup is described in the Kodi instructions, which are the same for all systems.
If Something Isn't Working
- The list is empty after "Refresh." Check that the link is pasted in full, including the part after the question mark, and that this playlist is selected.
- One channel says "Subscription inactive." The package is unpaid or the trial is not enabled. Activate the package in the cabinet and refresh the playlist.
- No TV guide. In MyIPTV Player, add the guide address
https://tv.utgard.tv/epg/epg.xml.gzin the same "Add new playlist and EPG source" window, EPG section; or use Kodi. - The picture is breaking up. For HD, 5 Mbps is sufficient, for 4K — about 25; connect the console via cable.
