For all those running Kodi and Stalker Client.

Same here. Except I'm running 0.8.4

I am having the same error after following the steps changing mac, inputting serial, device and signature. I even change the mac to one that I just generated and it is still getting
"unable to load channels". I am running Stalker Client 8.2 , i guess it will not help even if I upgrade to 8.3. Appreciate if you can help, thanks.
 
I Tried all the instructions to the word no luck :( , i took the same serial , Device Ids and Signature and used in in IPTV Stalker video addon everything works fine

just can't seem to get it working with the PVS stalker client both with 0.8.4 and 0.8.4 also tried 0.9.7 froom Github same issue

i am at my wits end , any help appreciated

Back out from the tv settings page to the home page of Kodi and use that power button on the bottom left corner to exit…..I did that and when I re-entered kodi….the guides and channels loaded up.

No harm trying.
 
I have tried this on top set up Stalker Client Kodi 15.0 - 16.0 as out lined by Hank Venture "1. Get a new Mac Address from server.
2. Go into Kodi and turn off Live TV, and clear data. (I always clear two times to make sure.)

Go into system, addons, PVR clients, and disable Stalker Client.

Go in and configure Stalker Client, and make these changes.

1. Change Mac Address to new one.
2. Make up and enter Serial number: any 13 digits
3. Make up and enter Device ID: any 4 or more digits or letters - I used my device name
4. Make up and enter Device ID2: any 4 or more digits or letters- I used my 2nd devices name (phone)
5. Make up and enter Signature: any 4 or more digits or letters- I made up something special to me

Enable stalker client 0.8.3." all returned Unable to load channels except Jasper it says couldn't connect to server.
The IPTV Stalker addon works fine but NOT the Stalker Client. I don't know why this fails for me I have tried it on fresh installs of Kodi no go I have reset Stalker to defaults no go I have deleted stalker settings.xml no go. I have tried different versions of Stalker Client DL'd from git hub NO GO.... I'm beginning to think I have offended the TV Gods I really think it would be in the best interests that run the servers to insure that the between 2-3 million people that use Kodi have the ability to connect to their servers via a client that provides an EPG. It is
not a pleasant viewing experience to have a boat load of channels and not know what is on. If anyone can point me to a solution that would great. If I can't have a guide I see no reason to continue with a subscription to the service. Thanks
 
If your running the 8.0.3 version, you need to go manually in to the settings.xml and change your timeout. There is an issue with this version in setting the timeout from the interface.

Close Kodi
Go to C:\Users\<LOGIN>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\add on_data\pvr.stalker on Windows or
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker on Android and open the settings.xml and
insure the connection_timeout value is at 60 and then save the changes.

Restart Kodi and try again.

Im not on 0.8.3 but 0.8.4 but i checked out what you said….somehow on 0.8.4 the max timeout you can set (on config page as well as in advanced settings xml file) is 15 sec.
 
Im using Kodi 15 on PC ive done the steps many times and continue to get authentication failures and also a device id conflict error, ive reset my mac multiple times. The errors happen when i try to load live tv or launch stalker client NFPS. Everything runs fine if i simply load IPTV Stalker as a video addon, i would love get the guide and EPG back with PVR stalker nfps, thanks.

use the version that comes with kodi 15.2.. version 0.8.4 is working
 
If your having trouble. Choose ether the Stalker Video Client or The PVR Client and not both and start from scratch. Which ever one you don't use, disable that add on. If your using an android device, clear the cache for kodi.

Hi all I had the PVR Stalker Client working on Isengard 15.2 I followed Alucards post and after many tries achieved EPG Nirvahana LOL, but i must have offended the TV gods because it returned to "Unable to load channels" with no changes on my end. Since then I have tried resetting my MAC several times first checking with the MAC checker to verify that the MAC was open. I have not been able to get the PVR Stalker Client to work. For trouble shooting I have uninstalled Kodi and reset my MAC reinstalled Kodi setup the Stalker Client from a .txt file with addresses CP from setup of the MAC on the server, serial,ID's and signature from a random alphanumeric generator CP to the txt file to and server and epg addy's from posts to eliminate typo errors. Still UTLC. Switched to Kodi Jasper 16 beta 3 and used procedure from above to setup Stalker Client get Failed to connect to server. I used the same info as was entered into the Stalker Client to setup IPVTV Stalker 9.0.21 and the server accepts data from that source. I also noticed that Kodi 15.2 is unstable on my Windows 10 box, when trying to setup Stalker Client 15.2 would shut my PC, Jasper does not exhibit this behavior.
 
Using only Stalker Client I used IPTV Stalker to verify that the MAC I had linked worked then disabled IPTV Stalker and switched to the Stalker Client which I finally got to work. I am using the latest version of Kodi and the 9.0.7 of the stalker doesn't handle the server address right. I found an address that does work on a thread by dara hxxp://portal.iptvprivateserver.tv/stalker_portal/c/index.html people with problems might give this address a try.
 
I could use some help because I had this running at one time until I tried to run it on my Nook with a Chrome cast Now neither my computer or the Nook (well it never worked) are working
Unable to load channels is the error message I get
I tried to uninstall and I did everything like this post suggest except I am runniing 8.4 Stalker on my pc So I don't get the password s/n or anything like that. 11iptvrocket with my mac and its been linked Some confusion again on weather it should be 79 or 78 in the Mac address But Ive tried booth without success...
