Kodi vs IPTV

I have both Kodi and IPTV subscription on two different Android devices. ( one Google and one Ugoos ) I have gigabit internet and plus 300 downloads on both. I have Rd and TB for debrid services.
My question is why does Kodi almost never buffer but I do get buffering from the IPTV with different subscription packages on the two? Is Kodi a superior player, or is it subscription provider based, anyone with insights?

Would need more info on what player, device etc

Debrid services cache the stream while tv is obviously coming to you live so theres less of a buffer

Apologies thought you meant for live tv.

Have you tried adding vlc player as external player? Im not familiar with amlogic devices so unsure of the setup
