POTATO TV (IPTV Stalker addon)

#221
yep stalker client works like a charm, all 822 channels every time. If i'm reading right, you mean stalker client not pvr iptv simple?

-keep stalker client running
-open Couch Potato
-settings:pVR simple client
-disable stalker client
-enable PVR simple client
or somefing like that? or i'm i way off again?

this i a question, i have no idea what i'm doing, do not take this as advice.

I'm using 16.1 jarvis, Titanium /w xonfluence skin. I'll try what you say. As long as I can get tv through the guide I'm a happy camper. But like I said, when I try IPTV or VOD through the addon directly....nothing.

invalid path error ?
hmm... it's a weird error that I had never had

btw, which version of kodi are you using?
and what skin?

sorry if I have to ask this:
when I told you to delete the files... did you remove the files only?
or...
did you also remove the directory too?

I would also suggest you to try the Kamikaze way :D

1. uninstall my addon
2. completely remove both directories: "Kodi/addons/plugin.video.potatoTV" and "Kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.potatoTV"
3. reinstall my addon
4. disable the live-tv
5. clear tv & epg 's data
6. quit kodi
7. goto: "Kodi/userdata/Database/" and delete all of TV*.db & Epg*.db files
8. restart kodi
9. enable the live-tv

and...

if you knew how to enable the kodi's log,
it would be so helpful if you could also send me the log file, PRIVATELY

Sorry to say that didn't work. I did what you said, then when I go to clear the caches from within the addon it get an invalid path error message. And my channels do not load. So the guide is blank.

Also I was wrong about the invalid path thing. It said error 3 the system cannot find the path specified. And yes I deleted the files and not the whole dir.

The way I did it was get stalker working > you've done that
Next Disable Stalker and restart kodi
clear the general data and guide under Settings(wheel at top of screen by power button) >TV/PVR
enable IPTV simple client
restart kodi
setup Couch Potato
it should work

Ok I enabled all of kodi's logs event,component and debug. Not sure what I'm doing. Ok I've just disabled debug logging. It seemed to run on and on and on. Not sure I want this. You can shoot me a note and tell me exactly what log and how. I would be happy to send you the information you ask for.

error:
authentification FAILED
'mac'

part of the log addonlog: PVRIPTV Simple client: Unable to load playlist file
plugin.video.potatotv/p1.iptcprivateserver.tv/potato.m3u: file missing or empty

I somewhat got it working ok Kodi 18 alpha. Potato TV works but when PVR Simple client not so good. Once I get it working the channel plays fine for a few minutes then kodi stops responding. Also the guide only shows 1 channel. But I think this is just because I am running kodi 18 alpha. Also when I restart kodi and go to live tv I dont get any channels unless I go in to settings and clear the data. Then it starts working but stops after a couple of minutes. I will try it on kodi 17 to see if I get the same issue.

If you're trying to use a playlist you can't have a mac address I think, when I set up potato I just used stalker and shut it off, then switched to iptv simple cllient following kens instructions. Maybe Couch Potato will see this and tell you how to fix it
 
#234
not sure i follow, something like this.
-stalker client(load channels and guide)
-Potato tv, auto settings for simple
-restart kodi
-disable stalker client
-enable simple

yeah i read somewhere that listings won't load with mac from the papiao donation page

Sorry but playlist option is not available for those using MAC Address authentication.

do i just delete my mac from potato tv addon?
 
#235
If you get it working with the mac address, you won't need a playlist. The guide will have all the tv channels (select TV and arrow over twice just like in stalker) and in the potato addon there is a choice for VOD or tv channels. Choose VOD for the movies

i'm i using simple or regular stalker? not sure what you mean. the tv never appears when i use iptv simple. only with stalker client.

p.s. i'm using confluence.

i get everything right up until i choose IPTV or VOD, that's when i get the error messages.

Not sure what's going on but potato tv isn't working for me. It was working Thursday night for me and a little bit last night. Now I can't get into iptv or vod. I have been reading everything that other people have been going through and working from that.

Things I have already done

Changed mac address
Reset iptv server
Cleared all the cache, packages, thumbnails
Deleted potato tv and reinstalled it
Before reinstalling I deleted all the files connected
Also ran a complete fresh start on kodi itself.

If anyone else have any ideas please help.

What I found is that when I got potato running, I backed up my addon folder and my userdata folder. Now every time I want potato to work. I must delete my userdata and my addon folder and replace them with my back up. Then I can load channels from the guide, but neither IPTV or vod from within the addon itself work.

First, you aren't giving enough information. I'm going to assume NFPS, so try changing your IPTV portal, as well as making your MAC all zero's, then use Custom if you switched to P2.iptvprivateserver.tv. You probably won't need to change your donation number.

Read the first post of this thread and scroll to the bottom for the link to the post regarding MAC+Donation or Donation only accounts. The process is easier with a Donation only account, you really only need a MAC+Donation account if you are using an STB or for some reason need movie genre's for Potato TV.
