Fixing iVue Guide to work with IPTV Stalker ("failed authorization")

1. Disable the Send Serial Number in the Stalker Client or disable it.
2. Make sure that you are not using the same MAC on any other device.
3. Shutdown Kodi and any other device that may be using the same MAC.
4. Go to this link and generate a new MAC. hxxp://www.hellion.org.uk/cgi-bin/randmac.pl?scope=global&oui=00%3A1A%3A78&type=mult icast. Replace xx with tt.
5. Associate the new MAC with your donation. If it fails, repeat 3 and 4 until it accepts the MAC.
6. Go to C:\Users\<LOGIN>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\add on_data\pvr.stalker folder and open the settings.xml.
7. Insure the connection_timeout value is at 60.
8. active_portal value should be 0.
9. id="mac_0" value will be the new MAC adress.
10. Save the file.
11. Restart Kodi and see if it now works.
 
Everyone, this is going to sound like... why didn't I think about that? In the other thread about stopping the serial number from getting sent, Alucard found the lines where the portal credentials are established for IPTV Stalker when it gets called from iVue, or other external callers to it. So, in short, you can change one line in IPTV Stalker that will take the command from iVue, using the credentials set in Portal 1. You still will need to not set the "send serial number" as it does make junk for the server, but that's preventable as well from IPTV Stalker.

It may be a good time to send out an update to IPTV Stalker, which can be used with iVue, but with Renegades as well.

Here's the fix... Replace the addon.py in "special" Kodi/addons/plugin.video.stalker
 
This needs a sticky! You rock!
