Kodi: pros and cons
- Free, no adverts, very customisable
- Works on computers where few IPTV apps exist
- Good guide once set up
- No films and series library — VOD appears as channels
- Setup takes longer than other apps
- Third-party add-ons can be unsafe: only use the official repository
Best Kodi settings for Roca IPTV
- Settings → PVR & Live TV → Playback: 'Start playback minimised' off for full-screen channels.
- Settings → PVR & Live TV → Guide: set 'Days to display' to 3 for faster loading.
Kodi problems and fixes
'No PVR add-on enabled'
Open the PVR IPTV Simple Client page again and select Enable, then restart Kodi completely.
Channels load very slowly
In the add-on's configuration, turn on 'Cache M3U at local storage' so Kodi doesn't download the whole list every time it starts.
