NFPS / Private Getting kicked out of channels after a few minutes, looping and freezing.

IPTV Private Server (NFPS)
Thanks Kens. Unfortunately, I've done this a long time ago. But good post for those that have buffering issues in general. Also, there are a couple repos out there that have wizards that auto create and config the Advancedsettings.xml based off your available memory. It's great...I haven't had buffering in years. :)

Whatever the issue was, it seems to be fixed.
 
Very few TV channels working for the last week - movies working fine.

Tried IPTV reset several times, many reboots, left off for hours then reload, even software reload.

Have a few news channels, weather and a few foreign channels.

Any other ideas?

The working channels you mentioned are probably the open channels that always work (external URL's, not from Server)
You are obviously not getting Authorization when attempting to watch the regular channels.
Check your Donation is valid, shut down your system completely then do an IPTV Reset, then reboot your system.

If you still don't connect, send a PM to a Moderator with your credential information.
They will either be able to correct the problem or give you more info.

*If you have changed anything with your ISP, this may cause problems also.

Thanks for the reply!

Donation is valid - over 250 days left.

I have changed my ISP. I will try one more IPTV Reset, and if no luck, will PM a Moderator.

Just to confirm you are not being blocked by your ISP, Enter your server /portal URL into a browser.
If you get the Message "Your STB is Blocked, Call Provider", then your Server URL is NOT blocked.
If you get an Error 404 or similar message, you are being blocked by ISP for that URL.

*Also check that your ISP Lock is Off and Country Lock is On. (if ISP lock is on, you will not connect if you are using a new ISP).

The logic here...

"If you get the Message 'Your STB is Blocked, Call Provider', then your Server URL is NOT blocked."

The service here sees your request but recognizes your device (browser) is not an approved device for streaming, so it rejects your request. Roughly translated: Your request reached the service here and had you been using a proper streaming device, you would have received the stream.

"If you get an Error 404 or similar message, you are being blocked by ISP for that URL."

Your request never reached the service here because something is blocking you. Roughly translated:. Even if you were using the proper device, you would not have received the stream because your request never reached the service here.
