Not Sure Kodi Add-on: Can You Still Install It and Watch Live TV?

The old Not Sure Kodi add-on is not something I can verify as a current, maintained installation. Its legacy instructions point to an unofficial repository and staged ZIP files, but do not establish who controls them, whether they work with today’s Kodi releases, or whether the streams are licensed. For verifiable Live TV, use Kodi’s official PVR IPTV Simple Client with a playlist and program guide supplied by a provider you are authorized to use.

Kodi is a media center, not a TV service; it includes no channels or subscription. Team Kodi warns that third-party add-ons are not made, supported, or endorsed by Kodi. A VPN does not make an unlicensed stream lawful or prove an add-on is safe.

Can you still install the Not Sure add-on?

Older Not Sure guides describe adding a repository address, installing two ZIP files, then opening the SeduNdneS repository. I could not confirm a current official listing or verify that the old address serves a maintained release. Treat those directions as historical, not a current working method. Don’t enable Unknown sources or install ZIP files just because an old guide says to; Kodi warns that unknown add-ons can access personal data on the device.

The older instructions also described finding live sports through community stream lists and an Acestream workflow. A channel appearing in an add-on is not proof that its distributor has permission to carry it. Avoid sources promising premium channels or pay-per-view events for free without a clear rights holder. To remove an unfamiliar repository, open Settings > Add-ons > My add-ons > Add-on repository and uninstall the entry you recognize.

Watch authorized Live TV with PVR IPTV Simple Client

This route works when your TV provider gives you an M3U playlist URL or file, and optionally an XMLTV electronic program guide (EPG). Use only the service’s own access details. Menu placement can vary slightly by Kodi version, device, or skin.

1. Open Kodi’s built-in repository

From the home screen, choose Settings > Add-ons > Install from repository > PVR clients. This uses Kodi’s included repository; you do not need to add a third-party source or enable Unknown sources.

2. Install PVR IPTV Simple Client

Select PVR IPTV Simple Client, open its details, and choose Install. Wait for Kodi’s add-on-enabled notice. If the client is missing, check your Kodi installation source, platform, and repository connection.

3. Add the playlist and program guide

Open Settings > Add-ons > My add-ons > PVR clients > PVR IPTV Simple Client > Configure. In General, select Remote path and enter your provider’s M3U URL, or choose Local path and browse to its M3U file. In EPG, enter the XMLTV URL or file if your provider supplies one, then save.

Keep playlist URLs private. Some contain account tokens that could expose your subscription. The client supports M3U playlists and XMLTV guide data, but cannot create a playlist or repair expired credentials. Guide listings also depend on channel identifiers matching between the playlist and EPG.

4. Open Channels or Guide

Return home and open TV, then choose Channels or Guide. Kodi should load channels from the playlist and listings from available EPG data. Playback still depends on your subscription, regional availability, and device support.

If channels or the guide do not appear

• No channels: Check that the playlist URL or file is current and reachable, and confirm your subscription permits this device or network.
• No guide listings: Verify the XMLTV source and ask your provider whether its channel IDs match the playlist. EPG data is optional.
• Install fails: Check the repository connection and add-on compatibility with your Kodi version and platform. Some Linux distributions package PVR add-ons separately.
• Playback buffers: Test the provider stream on a supported device and check for a network or provider outage; Kodi cannot restore an unavailable stream.

What Kodi needs for broadcast TV

Without an IPTV playlist, Kodi can also show broadcast or cable channels through compatible tuner hardware and backend software, plus the matching PVR client. The tuner and backend receive the signal; Kodi provides the viewing interface. See Kodi’s PVR guide for setup requirements.
