NFPS / Private Buffering issues

IPTV Private Server (NFPS)
Well, I guess I need not worry about tweaking my kodi just yet. Donated for a year, worked fine for first few days, then I tried to fix my guide (in UK and 1 hour out so changed to diff URL) and now I can't get the EPG to work at all, and I switch on this eve and weird buffering thing. I feel better knowing that there's a general issue. This is why we have forums :)
Cheers.
 
I'm glad to finally be connected and know that this buffering issue is pretty much a universal problem at the moment... knowing I can sit back and wait for the fix...

Is anybody else's subscription not showing the correct amount of days remaining?

ASFT Moderator: Easy there sparky. I am going to hang in there because I think the service will eventually be worth it. As I mentioned, I support the moderators and all they are trying to do in helping each and every person. Just try and understand a little from the consumer side of things. Look, for the price and what you get, I don't think you can go wrong with this service. It's just been a little frustrating, that's all. I know you guys are in a tuff position. It's just been a rough couple of months that's all. I have convinced people to subscribe to monthlys, but you can understand considering the service lately, it's been a bit of a wash. Still think there is nothing like it out there right now. Especially for the price. I'm with you champ. No worries.

I don't believe the freezing/buffering has anything to do with the security updates to the servers. More likely it is a Denial Of Service or DDOS attack coming from one of the providers (Dish, DTV, SKY etc) or an envious competitor who now does not have access and therefore can no longer leach, due to the user/pswd implementation.

Locating the culprit is gonna be a problem and even if you do find out who it is, what can they do?? complain to the authorities... I doubt.

IKS guys have had ECM's for years and just have to live with it. Don't forget it's SuperBowl weekend which is a prime target.
 
No not really but it would have been better to delay a wide distribution and do a small scale test with live users and not in some lab somewhere.

I have not been able to use any of my boxes either STB or Stalker since last tuesday... so should i just chuck it up to Sys Admins trying things out ?

believe me you can do all your small scale tests, but when the big upgrade new login implementation day comes things always behave differently than in a small freshly installed closed network where you can only come up with half the things that possibly can go wrong and needs to be tested first. :) the communications could maybe have be better, that would probably help I dunno. I know they are working on the servers again coz the streams are freezing like hell and channel changing is slow, so they are not done yet. :)

edit: I also considered the DDOS scenario and could be plausible too, only I think the DDOS comes from lame kiddies who are mad their stalker clones does not work anymore and sites that used to sell this service as their own.

Update: Situation is even worse. Before, we could watch the channels but they had buffer issue, now it is not possible to watch anything because it appears an error that says Failed to get stream URL when trying to open any item. It is completely screwed.

I woudn't call this envious. Envious would be if your competitor is making a killing in a legal way...
Dish and other legitimate providers have to pay billions of dollar for the rights to stream the shows. IPTV doesn't , which makes it impossible for them to compete and illegal. The truth is that as soon as law is passed , which eventually will, this service will shot down and more legitimate providers will pop up., but expect to pay much more for legitimate service.

couldnt watch hardly any thing most of the week...was completely unwatchable all this weekend on every channel...had to watch superbowl on kodi addon rather than this paid service...about halftime during the superbowl saw a mod on zeta forum who posted things were running again..so switched back over and lo and behold..seems to be smooth running again on Mag254....how long it lasts is still to be seen (keeping fingers crossed,rabbits foot in pocket) seems when its running good..its running real good..and when its bad..its very bad..no inbetweens.
