For example：  iptv.com=2001:8888:8888::8888
I try to play http://[2001:8888:8888::8888]/iptv.m3u8, kodi can't play.
I play http://iptv.com/iptv.m3u8, successful.

I think kodi doesn't support ipv6 address url, hope you guys check this problem.



BTW:I can play http://[2001:8888:8888::8888]/iptv.m3u8 on potplayer.

No, Kodi doesn't work well with IPv6 address.
In the log you can see it remove the brackets by mistake.
I believe it's a coding bug.

Below is the log:
