I have had this up and running now for over 1 month on kodi version 17. All of a sudden yesterday, I got the dreaded authentication failed. No problem I thought....Here is what I have tried so far:

1. Did an IPTV reset.....did not work
2. changed the mac address on the portal and on the box, did an iptv reset....still does not work
3. Changed the serial number, device id etc....still does not work (yes, I did an IPTV reset)
4. Okay at this point, lets get serious, uninstalled kodi completely and reinstalled, reconfigured....still does not work.
5. Set the mac address back to 00's on the web site...did an ip rest.....waited, reset the mac address to one that was working for the last month, IPTV reset....you guessed it, failed
6. Set up my mag 254 box, changed the MAC address on the server, and the mag 254 works fine.
7. Did one more last ditch effort, changed mac address etc serial number, deleted cached info in tv settings, restarted kodi.....no love there either.
8. Decide what the heck for now I'll just use the mag 254 (although I like the guide better on the iptv pvr), and go figure, I have done my max searches on the rocket site, so now I can't even use the mag 254.

Anybody have any other troubleshooting steps I can try?

Hi,

That makes two of us.

I bought an account three days ago and try to run the Stalker client (Jamal Eday -2.8.3) on kodi version 17.
I did exactly the same steps and the only response i get is authentication denied.

glad to see I am not the only one. What is strange is that this was working fine for about 1 month and then just stopped. I know the account is good as it works on the mag 254. hopefully someone will have some insight. By the way, same version as you and it was working.

Update, I was able to get this working today after reading other posts:

1. I 00 out the mac address again on the website then put in my working mac address. Then did an IPTV reset
2. made sure iptv pvr stalker client was disabled
3. In the configuration, validated the MAC address matched what was on the website
4. Used the following NEW url http://p1.iptvrocket.tv/c/
5. Changed the device id
6. Cleared the data in in the PVR TV settings
7. Exited out of Kodi
8. Launched Kodi and enabled the IPTV pvr stalker client

I was able to successfully authenticate and download the guide as well

Hope this helps other people

Hi,

Thans for the info! I tried exactly as you described on my tablet and firetv stick but i get the same
error message: authentication failed, retrying.

i'm really going to think there is something wrong with my account.

Follow the directions below but first: Disable PVR Stalker client (or make sure it is disabled). Shut down Kodi. Go to the Donation Checker and issue an IPTV Reset. Wait at least 15 minutes and then restart Kodi, but do not enable the PVR Stalker client yet. Follow the directions as you configure the disabled PVR Stalker client. Once the configuration is completed exactly according to the directions, enable PVR Stalker client.

Hi,

Thanks for the very detailed information. I must be stupid but i cannot make it work.

I changed the MAC, waited 15 minutes. Then i did a reset and waited again 15 minutes.

After that i installed Kodi 17.1 and configured the PVR stalker plugin exactly as described in the tutorial, did a restart from Kodi, cleared data and enabled the plugin.
after about 10 secs i got again an authentication failed retrying.

As portal URL i used http://mw1.iptv66.tv/stalker_portal/c/index.html and as user/pass both my 4919xxxxx number (what is not my order number).

i have no idea what else i can try.

Is this still current? Running 17.1 RC on AFTV using quest build. Tried this and changing IP address. Still getting auth error and then sits on pvr manager loading channels? Not sure what else to try.

yes, for me it is. I am not able to get to work since i bought the account three weeks ago.

I tried a FireTV stick and a tablet with a complete fresh install of Kodi but both not working
despite the detailed installation manual what i followed step by step.

I also had a lot of problems, but I did not RESET my mac-adres, I only changed the mac-adres every time I did something else to resolve the problem. However when I did a reset of the mac adres, everything works well. You also read somewhere that you have to delete twice PVR data, startup kodi again, delete twice the PVR data and then enable the Stalker client (in my case).
I think the new server is an improvement, because I think that the channel change is more quick. Also everytime when kodi starts, I get 2 errors (one with the PVR client, the other with the epg), and now I don't get errors anymore.

karel,

Just to be absolutely clear, you are using stalker client version 2.8.3 included in Kodi 17.1 and it is working for you?

If so can you give us a step by step guide?

Is this working for anybody else?

Thanks!

Yes I use stalker client version 2.8.3 on Kodi 17.1 on a Raspberry Pi. I also did a lot of things as I already mentioned so I'm not sure about the exact order, but I think this should work:
1. Disable the stalker client
2. Do an IPTV reset and wait minimal 15 minutes before connecting again (I think you must also use the same mac-adress as before the server adress change was, otherwise use another)
3. Clear 2 times the PVR-cache and EPG Cache
4. Update the new settings in the Stalker in the meanwile, also put a new serial number (13 digits) and device ID (6 digits). I use this as serveradress: http://s1.iptv66.tv/c/
5. Restart everything
6. Clear 2 times the PVR and EPG-cache
7. After minimal 15 minutes enable the Stalker client again. You notice immediatly if it works or not.
Hopefully this works
