How to watch IPTV on consoles: Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo

In general, a decoder is responsible for receiving the packets and displaying them as video on a television, but it can also be an app on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet, a program on a computer or even on a console, as we will explain later. In any case, we must be clear that there are several ways to access the content coming in via IPTV.

In short, IPTV is responsible for creating a private network between the operator who gives us the channels and the user, in addition to the direct connection, which allows us to receive the channels. And it is precisely for this reason that it is very necessary that the connection is high capacity to enable bidirectional data flow,

For which consoles is there IPTV

Once we know what IPTV consists of, we need to know which consoles we can enjoy this particular technology from. The truth is that in some cases, depending on the game console we have, the process will be more or less simple. But in any case, as we’ll see later, it can be achieved on a specific set of consoles.

So that you can try the following methods, we will leave you: a list of the consoles in which what we will explain in the next section will be useful to you:

• Switch.
• Playstation 4 and Playstation 5.
• Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.

Therefore, if we have one of these consoles, we can perform the various processes that we will explain below. Because they will serve you in any of these game consoles without any compatibility problem nor of operation.

How to install IPTV

Now is the time to see which method we will have to follow, depending on the console we have in our possession. Because, as we have just explained to you, if we have a PS5 it will not be the same process that we have to do on a Nintendo Switch. That’s why we show you the three ways to watch IPTV on consoles that depends on the video console we have:

on Xbox

Within the Microsoft console there are several models that we find. And it’s that, the Xbox family is very broad. Although, best of all, the process we will see next will be useful for the following consoles: Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. Besides the fact that they are the ones that will make it easier for us for the time of Play IPTV content.

In this case, the best way we’ve found to watch IPTV channels through an Xbox console is: Install Kodi Media Player directly on the game console. In short, once we manage to install this software, we can watch all channels without any problems.

The well-known multimedia center even has an official app in the Microsoft Store, so we’ll find it from our Xbox soon. Nevertheless, we leave you the link so that you can know which application it is specific and make no mistake:

Therefore, once we have managed to install this application, we will have to follow some steps to add different lists of IPTV channels in the multimedia player. Moreover, we can find a long list of add-ons or additions to see the lists or M3U in Kodi. But this time we chose the easiest option to install: PVR SimpleClient. Follow these steps to achieve this:

• Access to the media center Kodic.
• Go to the tab of Add-ons.
• Inside you have to click on the option Install from repository.
• Go to the section “all repositories”.
• go to PVR customers and tap in the previous section PVR IPTV Simple Client.

• Look for the path where the a was downloadedIPTV List File and click Okay.
• Finally, we restart Kodi and we can start watching IPTV through this multimedia center for Xbox.

on playstation

Of all the platforms we’ve seen, PlayStation will be one of the most complicated consoles we’ll have, although it won’t reach the level of the Nintendo Switch. In this case, we can follow the same method for both PS4 and PS5. So it will be useful to us in each of the two Sony models.

However, to carry out this process, we need the help of a tool known as Plex, in addition, we need our phone to send content from the Kodi player that we need to have installed on the phone. The steps will be clear, although you must take these requirements into account. specifically to have a smartphone with Kodi and that we need to install Plex on the PlayStation console:

• We first connect our PS4 or PS5 to TV and Internet.
• We search and install plex in the console.
• We have registered and a . created plex account.
• We install Plex on the mobile phone, be it iOS or Android.
• We begin session on Plex from the PS4 or PS5 using the same account we just created.
• We put the code displayed on the smartphone.
• Let’s go to the tab System configuration.
• And within this section we highlight the options Camera Roll, Advertise as Server and Network Discovery.
• Now we can try to send all Kodi content from the mobile to the TV connected to the Sony console.

on nintendo

While there is initially a trick to achieve this, the truth is that it won’t be as direct a method as the ones we’ve seen for Xbox or PlayStation. More than anything, because it can’t be reached officially, but we will be able to achieve it watch iptv on nintendo switch if we change the console. However, the change will be loaded onto the microSD and not the console. Still, it should be clear at all times that there is an added risk of it becoming unusable and, worst of all, canceling the warranty.

However, if you are interested in the method of watching IPTV on this game console, you should know that this process will be done by installing Lineage OS, a fork open source android app that gives you the ultimate android experience. This way you get Android TV on the Nintendo console so you can use it under a TV interface to use it as if it were a real Smart TV.

and nevertheless the Android 10 installation process is easier than it was a few years ago, still requires different knowledge on the whole subject of flashing ROMs and methods to enable this capability. Before we go any further, though, we need to check if our Nintendo can be patched. For this, we just need to enter the serial number on this website to tell us whether we can do it or not. In the event that we can, the process to follow will be as follows:

• Run exploit until flash nintendo console.
• Copy files to SD of the switch.
• Start the switch to start the installation.

Also in this XDA Developers thread we will be able to find all the necessary files. On the one hand they will the files we need to install and on the other side the more advanced instructions.

And on other consoles?

The truth is that we can also try to watch IPTV on other well-known consoles, but with the arrival of new generations of platforms, they have been disregarded. In this case, we refer to Wii or PS3. In the case of the first console, we will not achieve it with a simple trick, because we will need the help of Kodi and a smartphone with this software installed.

And it is that, in this case, the simplest option is exactly to reproduce the content through the console using the smartphone as a bridge to send content to it via Kodic. In order to send the content, we also need to make sure that both the mobile and the Wii are connected to the same network.

In the case of the PlayStation 3, you can also follow the method used for PS4 or PS5, that is, download and install the Plex application. So in this case we also need a smartphone with Kodi in which we would have previously added IPTV lists.

Finally, we can’t disregard an alternate method for Xbox consoles in case the previous trick hadn’t worked for us. Basically you should MyIPTV Playera popular IPTV player officially available for Xbox consoles:
