Known issues:
IPTV Simple will require manual configuration due to its new multi-instance feature. Once Kodi's API is updated to support multi-instance the process will be automated (M3U/XMLTV/GENRE paths require configuration).
If you are using a Central file location (recommend) or a client instance of Kodi using network paths, please configure using its given path. The example below uses default paths.
