My experience with Kodi add-ons for the service
Soooo this is my first post as I'm quite new here. I admire the dedication seen in trying to work through what seems to be an insurmountable issue.. well at least for now. Its quite awesome to see folks give so freely of their time. Now I have done quite a bit of reading before posting so I wouldn't look like a complete idiot but that may be unavoidable considering they are waaayy to many posts to read. I thought I'd share a summary of my experience thus far. I'm a former nfps|iks user with a sat box. I've been using Kodi for a while but mostly for vid's... now i'm trying IPTV.
Now onto the real matters. All the URLs I've posted are merely re-posts of dedicated persons hell bent on helping out. I'm using Kodi 17.1 and I will be mentioning the built in IPTV simple client, Potato tv and built in stalker client.
Potato TV
I've used the Potato TV guide outlined here "http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?...to-s-Video-Add-On-for-IPTV-VOD-EPG-Kodi-16-17". By far the easiest to setup. This is the 2nd best clear cut guide in my opion that I've come across in this forum. Well done. However the PVR channel load as mentioned never shows on kodi boot as suggested in my experience. I've reset and re-install kodi 3 times with the same result. The IPTV however does work from within Potato but very very few channels work. It appears to have nothing to do wiith the app.
Stalker Client
I've used the stalker guide outlined here "http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?24831-PVR-Stalker-(Kodi-Built-in)-Set-up-tutorial" Probably the best. Very detailed. Nicely done. Unfortunately it doesn't work, well at least for me. At first I assumed its the URL change that could be the culprit but after a couple URLs resets on iks66, and generating new MACs using the generator "http://www.miniwebtool.com/mac-address-generator/" I just gave up.....well rather put that on pause.
IPTV Simple Client.
Second easiest to setup in terms of getting channels to show. I'm still prowling around for working epg config that can be consumed by a mortal instead of a super geek mind...lol. As with potato TV the same thing happens. Very very few channels work.
I've probaly gone 2 weeks now without actually getting to watch any IPTV considering I opted for a month subscription as trial to see if I can truely cable cut. So far.........well .. I'm still searching but the xtream-codes comment above has peaked my interest.
