Hi, Like a lot of people my iVue has stopped accessing IPTVStalker authentication failure.. I do have a paid subscription and in the IPTV addon all is well and working fine but in iVue no such joy.. How can I update iVue to accept my paid subscription? I would also like to know how to get iVue to access UK Turks streams or Zeus Streams..

Any ideas?

Cheers
 
Just verified iVue guide currently doesn't work with IPTV Stalker directly, at least through the addons.ini method. You can individually link channels from IPTV Stalker back to the iVue guide by making a IPTV Stalker channel a Favourite, then manually selecting that Favourite in iVue guide.

There might be a tutorial out there in you tube that will show you how it can be done, in other guides like F.T.V. guide for example. If I have some time I'll look into it, but as soon as the iVue guys figure out that the hole to the server is fixed, and they need another method to make it work they will probably be on it themselves.
 
Here is one members resolution:

c/p from Nightrider13:
Here is a fix for everyone. Instead of sharing your Mac Address with members of forums to get a file "created" for you, you can follow these instructions I have created and resolved the issue I was facing.

Ok, since I have fixed myself, I will now spread the help, so here is what you do to fix the "Authorization Failure" message within the iVue Guide. Make sure you have iVue Guide Closed entirely before proceeding!

1. Get access to your "addons.ini" file. This might be located in a folder called "tvguidetecbox". If you are on Windows, just use the search function and search "addons.ini", and make sure the directory is somewhere in appdata/tvguidetecbox.
2. Go ahead and download Notepad++ (it's free).
3. Once you have your addons.ini file found, from step 1, Right-Click and "open with Notepad++".
4. Notepad++ will now open and you will see a lot of text. Perform a search for "mac". You should get something like "mac%22%3A+%2200%3A1A%3A79%3A10%3A10%3A10%22%2C+%2 2". Yours might vary, but will look like that. Go ahead and copy that information by CTRL+C. Open a Notepad doc and paste this for now. We will need this later.
5. Now go to: http:// www. url-encode-decode. com and paste (CTRL+V) in the left box and click "Decode URL". You should now see text on the right-side box looking more understandable (should be a Mac Address like XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX). Copy everything generated in the right-side box (CTRL+C). Now click the "Start Over" hyperlink to blank out the results.
6. Now again, paste (CTRL+V) and change the numbers/letters (between the : symbol) with your Mac address you purchased from IPTV Stalker folks. Once complete, click Encode URL. Now you have your code on the right-side box which you will want to copy (CTRL+C). Open a Notepad doc and paste this for now. We will need this later.
7. Head back to your open Notepad++ document that should still have the addons.ini open. With Notepad++ Selected, hit CTRL+F to bring up the find/replace window. Click the "Replace" tab. Now from step 4, we need to paste the ORIGINAL encrypted characters in the "Find What" field. Then we need to paste your code (with your Mac) from step 6, into the "Replace With" field. We're almost done...
8. Click the "Replace All" button and then your Mac address will replace the original Mac address, which will allow channels selected with the iVue TV Guide to work and not show the "Authorization Failed" message.
9. Make sure after the replacement step above, you save (CTRL+S) and close Notepad++.
10: Now just overwrite the original addons.ini file with the newly created one you just saved. Open iVue Guide and you should now be up and running again! Enjoy!

I got stalker working in iVue by going to stalker client and setting the time out to the max (60), and the correct ip ie- 11.iptvrocket.tv and my mac address registered with them. In iptvstalker, I used portal.iptvrocket.tv and turned the mac off. I still have to select the channel a couple of time fast. I think that the stalker client needs the time out increased above the max. But it is working for me that way. It is Kodi 15.0 from the AVOV vixo 2.
 
Well, ever since doing this fix, the ivueguide works, but now the iptv stalker addon doesn't work if i want to use it for the channels that are not in the guide. I tried clearing cache, double checked the mac in the settings. So ivue works but stalker does not. When I click on NFPS I get Authorization Failed. What's causing this?

PVR Stalker (Stalker Client) has nothing to do with IPTV Stalker and Ivue.

I don't know, the addons.ini acts as a cache and it may not like co-existing with the cache in IPTV Stalker What you can do to test is to set up a second portal with your mac and the portal url, and see if it will allow you to view channels with it.
 
Im new to kodi and Iptv having purchased an android tv box this week and now just donated today. So i need to ask do those instructions re the ivue fix via the addons.ini file correlate well to an android device. And is there anything else that may help me find the elusive addons.ini file. Thanks
 
indeed for now doing as has been posted to use your own custom addons.ini file with your donated mac is the best way. i will be leaving the stalker list intact and updated, after all they were good enough to provide there services for free for a long time and IVUE will do the same for them.

i am phasing stalker out of the guide from a channel autolink point of view. i may add some options to add mac auth into ivue in the future but i need to chat with npfs on this first.

With regard feeloader comments keep them to your selfs it helps nobody. iks npfs have doe exactly what they said on the 90 day mark and ivue will no longer assist in getting around any macs etc

IVUE has no correlation on this if you modified the addons.ini file it simply sends your donated mac in the request for the channel. it really cant have effected the stalker addon. i would reinstall the stalker addon use the one from ivue repo if you like as this is not modified in anyway. and input your mac back in

thanks
 
The addons.ini file gets changed back to the default mac every time I quit Ivue and re-open it. So I always have to go back to the addons.ini and change my mac. Is there not a way for this to be permanent? I saved a copy of the modified addons.ini in a separate folder so I can copy/paste into the right folder every time it happens to overwrite the old one for the time being. I know you said you need to talk to NFPS first, but a fix would be greatly appreciated for those of us who enjoy using ivue with stalker. Thanks for the update! :)

Many end up. Why you did not try to agree with NFPS and offer their service as their representative such as Rocket and IKS66?

I would make sure that the Mac you supplied for the IPTV Stalker Addon is entered correctly. Doing this fix only supplied iVue Guide with your actual MAC address, instead of a blacklisted one that the iVue team was using.
Also, changing the iVue settings like you did should not effect IPTV Stalker Addon in anyway. Please try and clear the cache again and then restart the Kodi application, then try IPTV stalker addon again. What version of Kodi are
you using?

I reinstalled staker and ivue using the ivue repo, and it "seems" to have fixed it. I am using Isengard 15.0 and I am using the mac from my donation, not one of the blacklisted ones from the net. Thanks for the help, guys!
