Kodi / documented application workflow · Publisher-documented application guidance; UK IPTV account compatibility not tested. Instructions are based on publisher guidance; a UK IPTV account was not tested on this platform.
Map the devices and direction
Write down which device owns the authorised media, which device should play it and which device should issue controls. The same application can appear in more than one role, but the roles remain different. A television failing to appear as a remote player is not necessarily the same problem as a Kodi client failing to see a library server.
Read the relevant setting
The official UPnP settings page distinguishes enabling support, sharing libraries, looking for remote players and allowing remote control. Its current page is marked for version 22. Use the setting corresponding to the intended direction rather than switching every option on. A server shares library content; a control point can direct playback; a client receives it. Preserve the actual version when comparing older instructions.
Test one authorised item first
Use a small local sample and confirm discovery, selection and playback as separate milestones. If a library is visible but a sample will not play, retain that narrower result. Visibility alone does not establish codec support on the receiving device. Also check what was intentionally shared: the existence of a network service is not permission to expose every personal folder.
Handle optional work deliberately
The documentation warns that looking for external subtitles can create significant CPU, filesystem and network load. That is a separate choice from merely enabling library sharing. It also distinguishes application volume from system volume when synchronising remote-player volume. Test controls at a modest level. This guide explains publisher-documented roles and does not establish UK IPTV content sharing rights or tested device interoperability.
