Just to check: 1. Did you also replace xDonation with your donation number? 2. Did you do a Replace ALL in the text editor so every instance of xportal and every instance of xdonation was replaced with your portal and donation particulars?

Yes I did replace All. Below example is what I have for 1 channel.

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="17468" tvg-name="ITV" tvg-logo="http://content.iptvprivateserver.tv/stalker_portal/misc/logos/240/759.png" group-title="Entertainments",ITV
hxxp://p1.iptvrocket.tv.iptvprivateserver.tv/live/xxxxx/xxxxx/170.ts


I notice some forum said to support m3u I need to do IPTV reset and dont have any MAC assigned?

* Realize, too, that you are using Rocket, so you actually need to replace more than xportal. You'll need to do a Replace ALL for xportal.iptvprivateserver.tv and replace it with your Rocket portal, e.g., p1.iptvrocket.tv

Consult the Donation Checker for your portal assignment.

ilan,
Thanks for the additional info.
I did not know URL's for other Servers, but assumed Users would get the idea!

Here is Updated Stuffed m3u Playlist Templates. It is for NFPS Portals, but you can modify yourself for any server address. (*You will get it !!)
All Languages
http://www.mediafire.com/file/98qgm5w4sdsdmrs/Template+stuffed+kensguide+TV+All+Lang+1017.m3u

English Only

VOD + TV Series Template
http://www.mediafire.com/file/b73i3uf3r1r9iau/Template+VODplus+1017.m3u

It is to replace the IPTV Simple Client Playlist generated by PotatoTV.
It is also for use with Playlist users using PVR IPTV Simple Client (standalone without PotatoTV), or any other Playlist Program/App.

It is Renumbered for Normal channel numbering TV (Sat.ID)

Approx. 30 channel ID's have been Added to Channels that had no channel ID's from NFPS

It is also Matched to my Playlist EPG Guide, so when using with IPTV Simple Client, you must also change the EPG Guide URL Address, from the guide source that you chose in PotatoTV.

***Use this URL for your Guide source -> hxxps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kens13/epg/master/guide_kens.xml
* Change hxxps: to https:

Open the Template with a text editor.
Find the Terms "xportal" and xdonation"
Replace All with your portal (NFPS is p1,p2,p3,p4 or p5) & your Donation#
Save file as anyname.m3u (plain txt file), as long as you can get to the file from KODI.

Go to Pvr IPTV Simple client settings
-Disable IPTV Simple Client,
-Change m3u Playlist file location to the new m3u file.
-Change EPG Guide URL Address to > hxxps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kens13/EPG/master/guide_kens.xml
*(Change hxxps to https)
-Save by OK (DONT ENABLE)
-Go to PVR&LiveTV Settings and Clear Data Cache
-Go back to IPTV Simple Client and Enable

Good luck
(It seems tedious but it is easy)

Pros to this method - You leave PotatoTV Enabled for VOD, you get your familiar channel numbering back (up to 500 anyway ...you do the rest), and you can copy the playlist to another device and use when you are not using your main system (use 1 at a time)
Cons to this method is new channels or changes to the lineup will not be updated, but you can add them yourself as I am tired of posting new Templates every month.
I separated the VOD so you have the option of using on say VLC or other program, or dont bother.

How do you open or install the template on a Firestick?

It is a playlist that you load into a media player like IPTV Simple client, VLC, Perfect Player, etc. Thus, you install the player and set-up your donation to use a playlist and then modify the template to suit your server assignment and your donation number.

It does sound like that would work, and it is good outside the box thinking. Let's have someone give us a report on that potential solution.

I don't use potato myself, but I did set it up and gave this a try and it worked. Of course it would, IDK why we'd think otherwise. Just as easy to do the settings yourself in Simple Client PVR Settings. The more users do for themselves, the better they learn and understand about KODI.

I think if we were using it, we would have tried this or thought of this, but neither of us are using it now, so it didn't jump to the cerebral forefront.

...at least that's my excuse until I can come up with a better one. :)

I just wanted to post a quick thank you to Ken, I couldn't figure out why it stopped working this time. At the very least this is a simple work around and I wanted to take the time to say Thanks, it's much appreciated. Got my father's setup working right again!

Cheers guys.

FireTV Stick
- You need to install ES File Explorer from the appstore.
- You need to go to settings /device /developer options /unknown sources -ON /ADB debugging -ON
Do the Mod's on an extrenal computer.
Use ES File explorer on fireTV to import through your network from a file sharing enabled PC, your m3u playlist.
Also suggested in another Post, is to up & download to Google Drive or similar.

and... so true!
and... LOL!
ans... Glad to help!

I'm not sure if it's just coincidence or maybe time offsets but I've noticed that a lot of the channels in Ken's guide aren't playing what is shown in the listing. Is anyone aware of any other EPG sources that are maintained that we could try?

I've noticed it. You can't use offset because so many are out of sync with each other. Coming off Stalker and xml, I do like this playlist style better though.

If you are in daylight savings, you need to add (+1)hour to the EPG Guide offset setting of Simple Client.
Disable iptv simple client, click configue, click EPG Settings/ put the focus on the EPG Offset slider and use Arrow key to increment by 1.0hrs.
*click - Apply timeshift to all channels.
Save settings but dont Enable yet.
go to System Settings /PVR&LiveTV -General tab-> Clear Data cache.
go back to PVR and Enable.\

When in the System settings sections, there are 4 levels of Access(Basic, default, advanced & Expert)
You switch between levels by clicking Settings tab (bottom left tab)
Set it to Expert to access all areas of the settings.

If that does not fix it, are you running Native KODI ("Real") or a Custom Build?.
Custom builds often have many features omitted.
...just FYI
