Tv on kodi and also customisation

Hi all

Please forgive me if I’ve posted this in the wrong place I am new and not firmiliar with the categories

Firstly thank you for kodi it’s the best all purpose media solution I have ever used.

I need some help with live TV, I have followed youtube videos an installed various add ons an tried changing different settings an so forth I’ve also tried theses solutions on different Kodi’s meaning one on my phone, one on my desktop which is connected to Tv an one on my gaming desktop an I receive the same results.

My problem is when ever I open a IPTV channel from various add ons. It plays for 10-20 seconds and then freezes buffering pop up comes up. I can wait it out it doesn’t start playing and if I try stop pause or even just click kodi freezes.

I get the windows pop up this program stopped working an I’ve got to close an re-open kodi

Now it’s seems to be only with IPTV because in the zem add on various fast channels work, I also can use various UK channels non IPTV which play on for hours, exodus plays perfectly.

Only IPTV stops.

I am running on fibre 20/20 uncapped unshaped untrottled.
My PC’s are gaming spec with 20 gb ram, and gaming GPU’s

I’ve uninstalled kodi an reinstalled a number of times
I’ve reset my router
I’ve inserted a recode txt file to make kodi use more ram
I’ve tried Google dns
I’ve tried vpn
I’ve tried phiphon3

BTW it doesn’t even start playing if I use vpn or phiphon3

Please grace me with your insight upon the matter. Keen to learn

Also I’m trying to set up kodi in a way that I don’t need to go to addons to view stuff

For example if I want tv channels then I go to Tv an I have a self made list of working tv channels, if I want tv series I go to Tv series an I’ve got all my fav tv series

I’m currently using favourites menus but that doesn’t separate it, is this possible for example having individual favourite lists.

For examle if I got to exodus an take all the tv series I like an put it tv series on main menus on kodi main menu.

The reason I want this is I have set up kodi for my mum an dad so I want it to be as simple as it possible can for them with out them having to go searching in add ons for stuff

Thank you for all your help. Great program.
