Kodi

PVR IPTV Simple Client is the official Kodi add-on for M3U live TV and radio and for XMLTV guide data. Kodi itself is published for several operating systems. Those host platforms are not counted as verified device support for this add-on, because the add-on pages checked do not itemize devices.

A player application does not automatically include a content subscription. Playback still needs a source you are allowed to use. This site does not collect playlist URLs, subscription logins, passwords, or other secrets, and it does not provide stream lists.

Catch-up or archive

Verified

The add-on repository documents catch-up settings and says catch-up depends on support in the M3U source. It is a player feature, not a promise that every source can be rewound.

Content subscription included

Unknown

The add-on is documented as a client for M3U and XMLTV sources. The pages checked do not add an explicit sentence that no subscription is bundled, so this stays unknown rather than inferred.

Context that is not a filter match

Kodi's own operating systems are not add-on device matches

Kodi's about page says Kodi can be installed on Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS, tvOS, and Android. That statement is about the Kodi application. It does not satisfy the device filters for this add-on.
