Kodi is still lacklustre in handling IPTV compare to tivimate and OTT player especially when modern providers like astro or unifi or mnc (indon) or starhub (sg) are implementing mpeg-dash format (mpd)where it could stream to thousand of people without lagging. Kodi claimed it also play mpd but i dont see it actually could play them especially when provider also implementing licensing such as clearkey or widevine. I already requested this feature to the dev but they replied it's not a priority.

Personally i only use kodi for everything else except for IPTV due to the aforementioned reason. I use OTT for IPTV
