Thats all most servers seem to use.. even if they add a different type of authentication, stalker middleware is open sourced. if it can be done with STB emu, it can be done with Kodi, would just need to be coded. i mean sure, they can do something to break Kodi.. but why would they,,, its the best looking client. looks much better than STB emu, and has a working EPG when no other client/hardware does. its acceptance should increase revenue.... i know plenty of people that like the idea of free tv.. but when they see the GUI of a Mag device or STB emu, they refuse as the interface looks like something outta 1997. they would be doing a great disservice to their clients by breaking these plugins IMHO.
