POTATO TV (IPTV Stalker addon)

I'm attempting to set up Potato TV as I understand the built in Stalker Client days are numbered. So far I've set up Potato TV as per the instruction at the beginning of this thread (with the same info as my Stalker Client settings) and also enabled PVR IPTV Simple Client.

I'm getting two errors when I try to open IPTV or VOD within Potato TV:

1. ERROR: Authentication FAILED 'mac'

Click OK then get this:
2. ERROR: INVALID LOGIN

Will a simple IPTV reset fix this or does something else need to be done as well?

Have you migrated to the new portal? Have you used any app/add-on with the new portal?

Yes, I am on the new portal (s1.iptv66.tv/c/) and am currently using the built in Stalker Client with yahyabell for the guide (which still works fine for me). I disabled Stalker Client while trying to run Potato TV but I'm not sure if more needs to be done (do I need a new mac or just an IPTV reset or something else perhaps?)

I wanted to ask before blindly changing too much so I could fall back on my current setup that still works.
 
I installed potato TV using my NFPS credentials on a Fire Stick (g2) running 16.1. It worked with some stuttering.

With the recent changes to many of the Exodus/SALTS content providers upgrading to TLS 1.1 I found myself forced to upgrade to Kryptoon (17.1). I find it's working much better on 17.1 than it was on 16.1. Note: I've not set up the EPG yet so I can't comment on that.

If you despise the 17.1 itnerface as much as I do, do the following:
On the kodi home screen go to settings (gear icon at the top), Interface Settings, Select the Skin, Select "Get More", then select Confluence. Now you'll have the upgraded 17.1 and it's TLS support with the look/feel you enjoyed before.

I'm sure the new krypton interface is great for tablets, but if you've got a remote in hand I prefer the old Confluence skin. Plus, I don't feel like starting over in trying to demonstrate to mom how to use kodi :).

To our developer, Couch Potato, Mr. Potato (whichever you prefer). Thank you very much!!

yep!
sometimes, especially when you frequently watch the IPTV with different IPs (mobile),
you have to run the IPTV RESET



Looks good - EXCEPT
FOX NEWS and BUSINESS will not play.

showing "PLAY ERROR HTTP Error 403:Forbidden"
Is there a fix for this?

Wrong channel for Fox News, for some reason.
I noticed this last night with Xtream and juan_vale PVR Method

maybe Sir Donald "The Almighty" Trump hates FOX ??? lol

thanks for the useful information mate

but I have my own reason (technical issue) why I hate krypton







Go to the first post in the thread. It contains a link to the latest version.

Back up and running now.

The channels are not working on mag254 either. I think the problem is on the server end. We have to just wait.

It's an issue at the server, not the add-ons.

Have you migrated to the new portal? Have you used any app/add-on with the new portal?


THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE who's willing to help me reply all the questions

Everyone will be welcome here to share their knowledges for helping each others

Hey Couch... great app by the way, since the switch to m3u we were all waiting for something like this.

Ok.. here is my headache...lol. I use the skin Arctic: Zephyr... i love it, can do some pretty sweet customizations and shortcuts to make Kodi alot more managable for the less technical folks, unfortunately my background of choice is white, which doesnt go so well with the silver font thats being used when i open the Potato TV app. I was searching through the .py files in the app hoping to find the setting where i can change that but.. no luck.

I do have another headache with it but thats less trivial and more of a convienience thing. so no biggie. Just that silver font color.

if you're running *nix o/s (osx, linux, android)
you can run following command via terminal:

Code:
find POTATO_TV_DIR -type f -name '*.py' -exec sed -i '' s/silver/YOUR_COLOR/ {} \;


for windows, you can find any apps by GOOGLE'ing this :
Code:
windows replace text files


in my next release, I will also add a new sub called "COLOR(text, color)"

which can be used to customized the font color, especially for any text variables used by xbmcgui.Dialog()

of course, you have to do it by yourself, I don't want to get the same headache as yours lol


btw, what is your other headache? ;)


How do you get tv guide timeline? I can get the guide but not the timeline grid.

in PVR or video addon ?

in PVR, you have to 2 clicked options:
  • "CHANNELS" --> channel view mode
  • "GUIDES" --> timeline view mode


in video addon, there is only a "CHANNELS" mode
but I'm sorry it's not available in the lite released version
 
if you are not sure, always go iptv is always up .... (very rarely does it completely shut down)

No matter what I do. I have reset my mac address and the other option. Double checked my settings in potato tv. I can get vod to work but iptv doesn't. I can get in look at all the channels but when I click on them nothing. It looks like it's gonna load but doesn't. Not sure what else to do.
