Ever since NFPS changed the url this has been my problem. I watch the stream, then after a min of playing it it kicks me off the channel.

Half of the listings become unwatchable with everything compounded. Any resolutions? I reset the portal reset the guide is this just something anybody is experiencing? No emulators.

Also no playlist settings for MAC authentication users...umm what is this? Can somebody point in the right direction to bypass this? If i can?? Thank you for looking.
 
I'm really the only one experiencing this? I usually don't have issues I can't resolve, but this makes it unwatchable and i can't figure out why is the server upgrade ruined my subscription?
 
Derp...it's back to doing it again. I guess that was short lived, some channels don't do it but MOST do. I have excellent bandwidth and running latest Pi running kodi and the stalker client. Everything was working good for the past half year now after update new issues. Bummer.
 
I have the same issue but Im using 66. Ill be watching a program, it will get kicked back to the guide and when I click back on the channel that I was watching it does nothing. At this point I'll try other channels. For the most part the only ones that will work are the non-direct tv channels like RT US or RT Documentary. Now I have to either turn off Kodi and restart or I can go into system, add-ons, my add-ons, PVR Clients, Stalker Client and disable and then enable. Channels reload and then I get to watch TV normally until the cycle repeats itself. Usually within 15-20 minutes.
 
have same issue with mag,channel runs smooth for 15 mins then goes black.go to guide then try to go to next page and just sits on loading.i have to reboot mag then will load portal ok.
 
Again, Im on iks66 but I seem to be having the same issue. I dont know that it makes a difference what channel Im watching, for the last several hours Ive been watching A&E channel 118 but this issue was happening earlier on a different channel and different tv and box.. Earlier this morning I followed the tips that I read in thread "Changed to new p1 URL, video super lagging" and it seems to have helped in that I dont automatically have to reboot. Now it lets me get back on this channel or any channel 2 times, I just timed the first run at 8 minutes and 36 seconds before it kicked me off, Im in the process of timing the second run right now and will report back but basically after 2-3 times of getting kicked of and the getting back on, Im forced to disable and then re-enable stalker, as noted earlier, I can also power off kodi and then power back on but disable enable is faster.
 
Appears to be no rhyme or reason, 1st round lasted 8 minutes 36 seconds, the 2nd round lasted 31 minutes 18 seconds, the 3rd round lasted 2 minutes 1 second, 4th round lasted 1 minute 46 seconds, 5th round lasted 2 minutes 17 seconds. 6th round lasted 2 minutes 37 seconds and now I have to disable/enable again. Interesting that Im having to disable/enable right when the program ended.
 
I used it all day long yesterday watching movie channels and it didn't happen once. After 3 hrs of play it timed out for me on the same channel..

I appreciate the effort, but it's not helping me to hear you're not having the same issue as me. I still experience it, which is unreal. Gonna have to contact them myself, i just figured this forum is an extension of their brand.
 
kodiphan you go ahead an contact them yourself see where that gets you, for the remaing folks you can try rebooting your modem and cleariing caches, also if running on pc windows you can use CCleaner to clean up files somesay that may help. I think rebooting the modem is the best bet and don't be surprised if you need to do a IPTV reset after the modem reboot.
yesterday there was a lot of channel dropping today NONE!
 
I contacted them; waiting for a response; but in the meantime, just switched over to the playlist option using PlaylistEditor and it happens much less frequently for me using this method of viewing, but unfortunately, i sacrificed the epg option i had with stalker pvr. Progress for now. Yay.

Since you've got the playlist now, why not try using it with Simple Client PVR and see how that works for you? At least you can still have the epg.
 
Happening to me also. I have switched to playlist with simple PVR, Stalker, Couch-potato, xtream, etc.. Drops continued, even with refreshing from Papiao. Very frustrating. This occurs on a firetv box and PC with WIN10 all using Kodi 17.1.

Was going to try older version of Kodi but after seeing others with older versions have the same issue I will squash that idea. Even tried adjusting my video setting in Kodi to see if that was the conflict.

Any suggestions from others would be helpful. (Did the reset of modem/router - operating at 110mbps)

Followup: April 8 - Installed a fresh SPMC (16.6.0 ver) on a FireTV box. Did a IPTV Reset - Configured PVR Stalker and enabled - Cleared TV info and did a reset of firebox - Channels did not drop, played for hours.

Maybe the Kodi 17.1 is the issues. Leave it to smart guys to figure it out.
