Cant add source in Kodi

I just got a Pi with Raspbian stretch on it. I installed kodi on raspbian stretch. When I try to add source for video I get a prompt that says I haven't installed a pvr.  I fix that by using iptvsimple but I still get an audible prompt with no message when adding a source and IT WON'T LET ME TYPE in a url. Any ideas?

Sorry I an a noobie to linix. I know nothing. I've simply followed online guides thus far.

thanks,
