Check the parent application first
The add-on runs inside Kodi. Find a release appropriate to your installed Kodi version and platform through Kodi’s interface or the official add-on page. The catalogue page identifies a specific release family; do not treat an older version number as the latest version for every installation.
An add-on package for one architecture or release can be unsuitable for another. Prefer the normal supported add-on installation route rather than manually choosing a ZIP because its name resembles the player you want.
Match the supported inputs
The official description includes M3U playlists and electronic programme guide information. Confirm that the service actually provides those inputs for your authorised account. A server/username/password form in a different player is not the same as an M3U input, and an empty programme guide does not necessarily mean the playlist itself failed.
Verify two outputs independently
| Output | What to observe |
|---|---|
| Channel list | Whether expected entries load from the permitted playlist. |
| Video playback | Whether a selected entry plays through the actual media path. |
| Programme guide | Whether the correct guide data maps to the entries and time. |
Treat each result separately. A list can load while video fails, and video can play while guide data is missing. Save the exact symptom rather than changing every setting at once.
Keep a safe configuration record
Record Kodi and add-on versions, the selected input mode and the type of guide data used. Do not include private playlist addresses in public screenshots. This guide follows the add-on’s documented role; it does not claim that an IPTV Canada account, every guide mapping or a physical device was tested.

Is IPTV Simple Client a content provider?
No. It is software for supported inputs in Kodi.
Does a visible channel list prove video access works?
No. List loading, media playback and guide mapping should be checked separately.
