There are two ways to watch IPTV on Xbox One. You can use MyIPTV Player or Kodi Media Player to stream live TV content on the Xbox One console.

With the above two methods, you can only watch content from IPTV providers if they provide an M3U URL. Some IPTV providers, like Players Klub IPTV and Nitro IPTV, only provide login credentials. There is no possible way to stream those IPTV provider content on Xbox. Currently, no IPTV provider app is available in the Microsoft Store for Xbox consoles.
