Hi there I've been looking around is there anyway i can disable this option , reason cause it's not working for me , every day I've gotta do an iptv reset sometimes twice a day .Even if i move the box from my bedroom to the kids room or tv room gotta reset again it was all nice in the beginning but it's becoming annoying .
So maybe there's a work around I'm not aware of or there's a setting i gotta do with my modem/router please advice .
 
MAC addresses are what the servers determine who are valid for the service. It shouldn't change on your box. However, the device information may change with a change in IP address, on PVR Stalker NFPS, which could be a router re-lease issue. That's why you may be needing to do an IPTV Reset.
 
It would help if you would say what kind of box you are using. Just so you know, MAC address are not locked to IP address, they are locked to the equipment you are using.

Without knowing you box type, I would suggest that you set you box to a fixed IP address from your router. That way you will always have the same IO addy where ever you move the box.

I'm using a mag254 plus a G-box Q using the stb emulator with Linksys WRT1900ACS router , so Fastrick if i change them to fixed ip instead of auto dhcp , i wont get that problem ?
so if the mac address is only locked to the equipment why does it require a reset to work on another ip address ?
 
i think each port on your router has its own ip address so when you change it from one room to another you change ip addresses so thats why a iptv reset is required so the server stops sending a signal to that ip address and will send it to the new one only way to avoid all the iptv reset is look into a wireless adapter for your mag so you can move it with no iptv reset works on my dreamlink t1 i move it every where in my house worth a try !
 
I have 4 different routers in my house and move my mag around the house connecting to different ones every time (hard wired) without any issues. ...so it sounds more like a isp problem
 
I agree with u satman61 , i think my Internet service provider is playing games , but it was working good before for about 2 years . But there were people saying that nfps did an upgrade ,and that included locking your device to your IP address
 
They likely use our public IP not your private IP address. Most Internet providers use dynamic addresses so there's a chance things will stop working one day.

Why is this even being discussed.. It's the way it is. Do an iptv reset if things stop working.

On most Lynksys routers you can set fixed ip address for each unit. Therefor just set a fixed IP address for your Mag254 using the mac address for locating it on the DHCP table and the set it up as a fixed IP. Then you should be able to move it any issues. I hope you are using separate donations for each box.
 
I am not a MAG user, but I think the DEV ID1 and/or S/N are internally generated using a Hash generator routine, and 1 of the 2 numbers it uses for this is your i/p. Dev. ID is stored in the server and used as part of the Login Authorization process.
Using KODI, you can statically set these parameters.(I can connect to any line into my router and have an IP assigned upon connection, without a IPTV Server connection problem)
The new protocol regarding the I/P address in question, is the actual I/P of your router to your ISP.

papiao has put into place this convoluted security measure....that makes all boxes married to the routers IP address...........thats why I can't take the box to my friends unless I reset the mac at papiao site....this crap has just made me loose interest in the service........It can also happen if you shut your box off for a while and then turn it back on again ...DHCP settings change ip from time to time....
 
Are you by chance using LIME/FLOW? I'm in the Caribbean and experiencing this issue with all IPTV with that ISP. That ISP uses a dynamic IP on the WAN (Wide Area Network) so making changes to your router will not help because that will only affect the IP on the LAN (Local Area Network). This new security measure requires many users in the Caribbean and maybe other locations to reset the MAC address everyday. Its not that simple to just say switch ISP so I hope that NFPS comes up with a solution or a work around.
 
This part is causing me a huge problem.

I tested it somewhat, 2 different donations, 2 ISPs, One donation works with one ISP not the other, then vice versa.
IPTV reset doesn't help. Then sometimes both ISPs seem to be blocked on both donations, but will work if I connect through a VPN. (Though even some VPN IPs appear to be blocked.)

Some time later all of a sudden they get unblocked.

This is a big problem because I am also in the caribbean where the ISPs here tend to have different Public IP blocks when you connect. FLOW/Digicel/Massy/Three Sixty/LIME (bmobile in Trinidad). (Carib poster I feel your pain).

I can hardly view at all anymore because vpn traffic is way too slow and most times won't accept my original isps.

I use four different providers. Sometimes aggregate the connections for increased bandwidth. Never to use stalker service though as I'm definitely sure I will be blocked across all.

I have quite a few donations.....wasted.

***Edit after more testing it seems that under some criteria the IPs are deemed as malicious or security breach attempts and are blocked for a certain period of time.

To add woe, toubleshooting is even a problem as the amount of searches/IPTV reset/Mac change are limited (per day?).
