VOD / INFO problem with VOD

For all the VOD, beginners info, novice stuff.
Yesterday I binged on 4 VOD selections, without any buffering at all in 6 hours.
Though I am using p3, on a DL T3 Android STB, using Kodi 18.5 with IPTVXtra 2 v7.9, so I do not use MAC# authentication, but use Playlist (or Portal user/pwd) access.
With this method, all VOD selections are sent to my setup like a file transfer, whereas the data will be sent as fast as possible(normally faster than can be played out), so the extra data gets saved in a buffer(size can be set, but default is approx. 3-5min's).
If you have data latency, you should be able to pause the video for a few minutes, to fill the buffer.

That’s the problem on the Mag boxes or the new Buzz box the file not downloading fast enough from the server.. but that said I never had a problem for years with video or Vod this a new problem..
Not just me, so many others at all speeds of internet and many different locations same problem.. some nights it’s not a problem.. During the day the worst..

Im encountering the same freezing issue with the firestick and mag 254, 256 & 322W1. They are freezing a lot, its been doing it for about a week now. On Mag boxes the freezing stop if you pause it for about a minute and then play it again. But then you can not fast forward or replay because the freezing will start again.
So I am right. I had this freezing / buffering problem with VOD since last year. It all started when I was using the Kokaleka app on my Minix U1 box. But then, when I switched back to the paid STB emulator, the freezing issued continued. I even tried my new XRS 4000 buzz box which didn't solve this freezing problem. In comparison, the VOD on my second IPTV provider didn't have any glitch from start to end of the movies. If NFPS cannot solve this freezing / buffering issue, then I would suggest to just remove the VOD from their service.
VOD seems to be working great today, movies load fast and although I only tried to load and did not watch anything longer than 5 minutes, it seems to be freeze free, for the past two weeks, I could not load any movies, also the "Terminator" on VOD is working which has not worked for me since I saw it listed, MAG 254, portal 6, 50Mps wired
It’s loads today yes
Still glitches on my xr 4000
I’ll try my mag 254 later also try pausing
Very weird thing because the video club or VOD flawlessly for years
PPV on both boxes good
Player on Default (xr 4000)
Update pausing the movie for a few minutes works !! mag 254
Update video club a no go !!
xr 4000 and Vod buffers press pause seems to help
xr 4000 ppv 611 terminator it’s kicks out and starts over

If you are using a MAC# type account, you should download my VOD playlist Template, edit it with your account info and save it to your device.
Use the playlist to access VOD, just to see if it works better.

This is a c/p from Dec.2018
Code:
Infomir, the manufacturer of the popular MAG range of set-top boxes, says it will block the portals of suspected copyright-infringing IPTV providers following complaints from copyright holders. While MAG devices are used to access plenty of legal services, the news will come as a blow to large numbers of customers who use the very capable devices to access unauthorized platforms.
Over the past couple of years, unauthorized IPTV services have been making their presence known in the ‘pirate’ TV space.
As recently reported, pirate IPTV services are accessed by 5.5% of US and Canadian households. The range of content is phenomenal, with few – if any – official entertainment companies in a position to compete.
Such services are typically accessed via set-top boxes, from ubiquitous Android-based platforms through to dedicated IPTV hardware. None of these devices are designed to be infringing but with the addition of third-party services, they can be transformed into piracy powerhouses.
For those looking for a premium IPTV experience, the MAG box range from Ukraine-based Infomir are the tools of choice. The compact devices are used by thousands of consumers to access legitimate content via a beautiful interface but like any such hardware, these boxes can also be used to access infringing streams.
Infomir has understandably distanced itself from this kind of illicit consumption but until now doesn’t appear to have interfered with the choices of its customers. Moving forward, however, it’s clear that will change.
“[B]Infomir is an international company operating in over 150 countries globally. As a manufacturer of multimedia devices, we are subject to copyright and related rights legislation, which we respect and adhere to,” the company says.[/B]
“[B]Upon receiving complaints from a copyright holder, Infomir is obliged to restrict access from its devices to any portal suspected of copyright infringement.[/B] The restriction will be maintained until the issue with the copyright holder is resolved.”
IPTV services (both legal and less so) often supply a URL which enables MAG and similar devices to access their ‘portal’. These are entered into the device’s setup page, with the box typically being authorized at the provider’s end by verifying its MAC address against a pre-registered one.
However, Infomir appears able to prevent certain portal URLs from being accessed via its set-top devices and there are some unconfirmed reports online which indicate this may be happening already.*Using Playlist access, removes external control of the data(Stalker communication protocol(Infomir)), so you have access directly to the source Servers.

Thanks shooty, I will let Rinny try the Playlist, although possible, I don't think its Infomir blocking as I have a fairly old Firmware and stopped automatic updates from day one of the news that blocking of services may be happening.
