    The guide recommends choosing a more powerful device than a cheap android box and installing Kodi in a simple configuration. It also discusses installing addons like Covenant and configuring IPTV and catchup TV.

    The guide recommends the following hardware: Gigabyte N3150N-D3V mini PC with Intel CPU for £74, 4GB RAM for £31, and 120GB SSD for £51 housed in a small form factor case for £36.

    The steps outlined for installing the Estuary MOD skin are: installing the Guilouz repository zip file, enabling unknown sources, installing the skin from the repository, selecting to switch to the new skin, and installing any necessary dependencies from the skin settings menu.

    KODI 17.

    4 + IPTV Easy Config

    Part One: Choose your weapon

    Do yourself a favour and don’t buy a £40 android box, a firestick or any of that crap. Sure it’ll work
    but you won’t get the best experience and when it comes to addons that scrape sites (Covenant,
    Exodus, etc) you’ll really notice the lack of power.

    At the moment in the lounge I have the following

     Gigabyte N3150N-D3V Intel Integrated CPU £74


     Crucial 4GB DDR3L-1600 SODIMM £31
     Crucial BX300 120GB SATA SSD 2.5-inch £51
     CiT S003B ITX Black Case £36

    On that I run LibreELEC but you could use OSMC or OpenELEC. For the purpose of this guide I’ll use
    the windows version of KODI cause its easier to navigate collecting screenshots etc.

    Part Two: Keep things Simple

    Dear god theres nothing worse than installing a KODI ‘build’ populated with a million and one
    addons and a completely redundant bells and whistles skin. You’ll spend more time dicking with it
    than actually watching TV. KEEP IT SIMPLE

    So install KODI in whatever flavour you choose and eventually you’ll be looking at a screen that looks
    like this
    First thing we want to do is upgrade the skin with the MOD’d version. To do this first we need to
    install the repo, which you can download from here.

    https://github.com/Guilouz/repository.guilouz/raw/master/_repo/repository.guilouz/repository.guil
    ouz-1.0.3.zip

    More info on the skin is here

    https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=267343

    Once you have the .zip we need to add the repo to KODI. Navigate to ‘add-ons’ from the main menu.
    Then ‘My Add-ons’ highlight the two dots to go up a level

    Then select ‘install from zip file’. You’ll get a ‘Disabled’ dialogue pop up, click on settings
    And allow ‘Unknown sources’. Unfortunately you’ll now have to go back around Add-ons -> my Add-
    ons -> two dots -> install from zip file. You’ll see a couple of items installing on the top right of the
    screen. Once its done select ‘install from repository’ -> Guilouz Repository -> Look And Feel -> Skin ->
    Estuary MOD (KODI 17)

    Hit ‘Install’. When its done it’ll ask you if you want to switch to the new skin. Say ‘Yes’
    Bingo, but we’re not done with this bit yet!

    Navigate back to the main menu. On the way back it might ask you if you want to install any
    dependencies, allow it to. Once back at the main menu select the cog menu item at the bottom to
    enter KODI’s settings.

    Select ‘Skin Settings’ scroll down to ‘Necessary Addons’ and start installing the ones that are missing
    Once all the bullets are checked you are good to go

    Part Three: The IPTV

    Now its time to get the IPTV setup so navigate back to the main menu and back into addons. This
    time the we need to hit the icon on the bottom left that looks like a jigsaw puzzle
    This time select ‘My Addons’ and scroll down to PVR Clients. Once you have the list of clients select
    ‘PVR IPTV Simple Client’ then select configure. Copy and paste your .m3u and EPG paths from your
    provider in here.

    Pro Tip: Manually typing in this info into KODI is a pain in the ass when you aren’t using the windows
    build. To Get around this instead of configuring the addon in KODI, enable it with no settings and
    then navigate KODI’s addon_data folder. This varies from system to system

    LibreELEC/OpenELEC /storage/.kodi/userdata/

    Android Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data

    Linux ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/addon_data

    You want to navigate to the pvr.iptvsimple folder and edit your details into settings.xml

    https://imgur.com/a/IPwEG

    Once that’s done restart KODI and everything should start to work. We just need to tweak the PVR
    settings so navigate back to settings and choose PVR & Live TV, make sure that the settings are
    expanded to expert level on the bottom left. Then in the general tab make sure Synchronise channel
    groups with backends is selected.
    Then go down to the Guide tab and change the default select action to Switch channel

    That’s that, restart KODI


    Simply Selecting TV will bring up the channels view

    Pressing the left arrow and the selecting group will bring up all the channel groups
    Pressing E will bring up the EPG

    To change the default action of selecting TV so that it opens the EPG instead of the channels view we
    need to go back to settings and into skin settings, then select customize main menu. On the TV Item
    select change action. Select Live TV then Guide
    Part Four: Catchup

    So at the moment I’m with Ace-TV (affiliate link, don’t click if it doesn’t float your boat) and they
    provide an app with 3 days catchup so I integrate this into the main menu.

    Download the addon from your provider. Goto addons -> jigsaw button -> Install from zip. Once its
    done go back to addons, highlight the one you want and press C to bring up the context menu and
    select settings
    Enter your username and password then hit OK. We can now go back to skin settings and add TV
    Catchup to the main menu

    Highlight TV and click the Plus button


    Select Set label and set is as ‘TV Catchup’ then select change action. Navigate to

    Add-on-> Video add–on -> Ace TV -> TV Catchup and select Create menu item to here

    Now when we go back to the home page it should look like this
    That’s it, you’re done. If you want you can add other actions to the start menu like box sets and
    movies just rinse and repeat the above.

    At this point I’d be inclined to install the covenant addon. Instructions here https://seo-
    michael.co.uk/how-to-install-the-covenant-kodi-krypton/ and I’d get a real-debrid account to plug
    into that for super-fast 1080p Movie and TV Show streams
