How-To: Set up Kodi's included pvr.stalker client with **********

incorrect ilan.. you can use the full portal address with any version.. you just cant use the short "11.iptvrocket......" address in kodi 16 or newer as the cleint no longer follows the redirect by design..

try just doing an IPTV reset on papiao before trying a whole new mac..
 
I have a question. I have a few customers who use the same donation on two different boxes - never at the same time. What is the best method for them to switch usage from one device to another?

Best approach is to use a different MAC on each device and change the MAC and do a IPTV Reset when they switch. You can't control how the device id is calculated in the add-on, so it probably won't be identical even if you use the same MAC and donation number. You may have a better chance of using the same MAC with the built in client on the two boxes alternatively using the same device ID and serial number, but it's not a sure thing.
 
Kodi 15.2
Stalker.client 0.8.4
mac 00:1a:78:*
Server address: http://portal.iptvrocket.tc/stalker_portal/c/index.html
Timezone: America/Toronto
Login: donation number*
pass: donation number*
Guide preference: Prefer XMLTV
Remote URL: https://papiao.is/main/EPG/mac/00:1a:78:*/donation/**/fname/NFPSF1
Token: blank
serial: random alpha numeric
Device id: random
Device id2: random
Signature: random

RESULT: Stalker client Unable to load channels

Stalker Client NFPS 0.8.4

Active portal: IPTVRocket
Mac: * last 3
Time zone: America/toronto
Donation: *
XMLTV File: 24hrs
Commection timeoit 120

RESULT: Stalker client NFPS. Authentication failed. Retrying

What seems to be the problem? Its been 10 days now and its not working.

I can get Stalker Client NFPS to work, but the guide is off by an hour again...Blackbear, its the same issue as before!! How can I use the NFPS4 guide on Stalker Client NFPS?

When I try Stalker Client 0.8.4 it just says "unable to load channels" It worked before all the changes last week. Can someone help with the setup for IPTV66?

Thanks Dara. I've gotten to where I don't bother with pvr.stalker.nfps and just copy the pvr.stalker configuration onto each box for such customers. I was just curious as to whether or not the new authentication method required a new process because a customer had a "Device ID" mismatch error today.

Oh. And if it helps anyone to configure pvr.stalker a little easier, I'll share my method for modifying the settings. I pull the "settings.xml" file for pvr.stalker to my Windows computer and use Notepad++ to enter all the relevant information. Once I'm done, I just push it back, clear all data fields, re-enable the pvr.stalker add-on and Live TV, and VOILA!! I've found this to be much more accurate in making sure the info is correct. Once you've done it once or twice, it's super easy.
 
Ok. That's fine. How do I stop it playing in that window? There's supposed to be a full screen option in Kodi settings but i don't see it.

press tab to switch between fullsceen and gui, I use another shortcut though, I just press(select) the channel one more time and it goes to fullscreen. :)

once in fullscreen, you can hold down select and get OSD a channel selector. you can also press up/down to switch channel, or use the numeric keys to switch to particular a channel number, and you can use 0 (zero) to switch between previous channel and the one you are watching.

edit: long press actions to get the OSD channel list only works with kodi 16, you can chose the list from the player control panel in kodi 15 though.

@monkeyman82: You are using the portal for Kodi 16. If you have Kodi 15.2 with PVR Stalker 0.8.4, you should use the following portal...

Code:
http://11.iptvrocket.tv

You should start with a fresh MAC since you have been switching between PVR 0.8.4 and PVR NFPS.


Thank you Ilan for replying. I changed the MAC then changed the portal address as suggested by you and also updated the mac in the xmltv guide url. Disabled TV then click on Clear data and then exit kodi. Restarted kodi and reenabled TV and got same error: Stalker client unable to load channels. :(
 
if all was working and just stopped today thats telling me they are still playing with the server and mac address so maybe wait a little an see if it comes back its nor perfect yet so hold on
 
@monkeyman

I'm pretty much at a loss. We can try someting I used to do before the latest changes. Use the built-in PVR Stalker client...

I'm going to try a shortcut. Let's try to follow a proven format.

Try mimicking this format in terms of the placement of numbers and letters. Of course, change the numbers and letters, but follow the sequence. Make sure IPTV Stalker and any PVR's are disabled. Start with a fresh MAC.

Add your username/password as per your donation then mimmick this format...
