I found addon.ini file in kodi all I can do is select it what do I do after that? thanks so much

if your using the kodi file manager , have the location of the addon.ini file open on your left hand side, on the right hand side choose the the destination you want to save it to ( you may have to add source depending on your device and the location you want to save file) go back to the left hand side, highlight your addon.ini file bring up your context menu either by pressing "c" on your keyboard or the context menu button on your remote, then select copy. To copy it back just select the addon.ini file you modified and copy it back to the profile directory location.
 
im starting to see the posts in this thread showing illigal meassures to use ivue the reason you should be getting an error message is because it connects to the server portal via the old free way and has no way to add your http or mac and the .ini is just created to allow the clicking of a channel via the epg direct to iptv stalker addon "via the old free way"
 
Mine has this too.
mac%22%3A+%22%22%2C+%22serial%22%3A+null%2C+%22password%22%3A+%220000%22%7

The website decodes it as
mac": "", "serial": null, "password": "0000"%7

Apparently this doesn't work for everyone. Would be nice to have a working .ini though

the site your using sure enough will decode the ini lines but it will encode them same lines using base64 the ini file doesnt encode to base64 them lines are parsed using a simple parser
 
Depending on the device you are using for Kodi Entertainment, you can use a Windows computer and try accessing Kodi files by IP address.
For example, find the IP address of your streaming device (Usually in network settings). Now go to your Windows computer, click Start > Search for "RUN" and click it.
Now type \\XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (fill in the X with your IP address of Kodi device), then hit enter. You may or may not be able to access SMB. If you can...great. Make sure Windows
is able to see Hidden files/folders. You can check by clicking "Organize" button, then "Folder Search Options". Then click the View tab. Then make sure Hidden Files and Folders is
selected for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives".
Then look for that addons.ini file. If your device uses a USB/SD card, its probably easier plugging that into your computer than doing via LAN.
If I get a few "Thank You" on this post, maybe I'll make a tutorial video for this fix ;)
 
Hi
I am running openelec 5.9.3 on an intel NUC (celeron). I have followed your directions to the letter but I am still getting authorization failure. I put mac%22%3A+%2200%3A1A%3A79%3ABB%3ABB%3ABB%22%2C+%22 into http://www.url-encode-decode.com and got mac": "00:1A:79:00:00:00", " (I changed the last three numbers in this post to 00's but they were the correct numbers back from the website). I then pasted this into the website and got back mac%22%3A+%2200%3A1A%3A79%3A00%3A00%3A00%22%2C+%22 (again changed my actual numbers to 0's). I then used find and replace to replace the original mac%22%3A+%2200%3A1A%3A79%3ABB%3ABB%3ABB%22%2C+%22 with the new mac%22%3A+%2200%3A1A%3A79%3A00%3A00%3A00%22%2C+%22. Find and replace changed a total of 613 entries. I then replaced the addons.ini in the add on with the one I just saved. All seemed to go fine but I am still getting the authorization failure, even after several reboots of the Intel NUC. I am doing this on an Imac if that makes a difference.

Thanks
 
now im having trouble watching iptv stalker I can open a couple of channels but most of them say http error 403 forbitten does anyone no what this means

Same here Deana333. Tried changing the mac address tied to the donation, but no success so far. Maybe the servers are down?

Anyone knows what's going on?
 
Can someone please tell me what's goin on I paid my donation about 4 -5 days ago now I can't open my channels saying http error 403 forbitten and I search what that meant ant saying I don't have access or permission I'm trying to figure out why this is happening can someone please give me a idea and I've tried to contact papiao TV but no luck
 
It's back online for me!!! Give it another try if still doesn't work try changing the MAC Address attached to your donation code.

Edit:
I spoke too soon :( It just some channels that started coming back. Give it time I guess.

I found a way to fix it. Worked for me all you got to do is delete addon.ini file in settings of ivue and also delete all other database settings as well once done restart the app and it would still show authorisation fail but please try the channel for two three times and it will work
 
Ya I found a way too if you save your channels as favorite first then open your guide and where you select your stream or addons you'll see it will give you the option to select from favorite and you'll see your channel you just saved as fav select and save.
 
Bkman2020 come look for me anytime you like if you find a bad word against me do show me.

ON MY GROUP in one post I said I would modify the ini file for 4 people i made them there file with instructions. I also noted that i didnt have time to do the write up as im rather busy replacing links and addons as you may imagine. and i wasnt going to answer the tech questions to follow on how to add this and where

the op knows this hes on the same fing post

IVUE have ceased entering macs into the guide system to circumnavigate the loop holes and will no longer assist anyone trying to renter. even though there are 2 ways that are working. at the moment

YES dara i have sent a few emails and spoke to psycon but hes away too like myself. i would like to intergrate the valid mac system into ivue. then those that have a paid donation can continue to enjoy the guide.

and for now well continue adding more channels and streamers in as we have for the last 18 months :)



I discovered this morning that even when I designated a custom .ini file with my MAC replacements, it was overwritten with bad MACs (79 + BB:BB:BB) later.

I have nothing but admiration for the iVue folks, but it would be great if we can get some help on how to avoid having to delete MACs in the .ini file every few days.
 
They just fixed the Ivue guide all you got to do is go into setting down to fixes then to the bottom and click delete addon ini file then ok back out then open the guide select bbc one settings remove stream then choose stream and there you go! All fixed!!
 
You can avoid the overwrites by renaming the resulting .ini to something other than addons.ini and pointing to it using the settings for a custom ini.

That was what I meant by "I designated a custom .ini file" and this did not work. I renamed it to a custom name and iVue changed the file anyway.

Also I am not sure I understand what Deana3333 did. It is not clear, but I would like to try it if I can understand what was done.
