Stalker Client NFPS Release Thread

@Alucard but than if you download Stalker clone, and it was setup with working MAC someone found/guessed, why server allow multiple login instances with same MAC ?

I mean there probably are hundreds of users on same MAC

They don't allow multiple logins. That is one reason you have so many people here saying complaining everything was working fine and all of a sudden it dose not and they have to reset/change their MAC.
 
I ran a test with a MAC that only had the "Send Serial Number" set on IPTV Stalker, and found that the MAC will not work with PVR Stalker NFPS ... device ID mismatch. So, the internal serial number created by this client is different than the pseudo serial number created on IPTV Stalker.

This confirms that you can't "share" the MAC between IPTV Stalker and PVR Stalker NFPS.

Yeah I was going to try it but as soon as I saw you could not set the serial number information I bagged it. I use the same MAC on several devices so I am sticking with 8.0.4 and I am trying 9.0.7 on one of my android devices.
 
not sure if you understood what I was trying to say, so I setup IPTV Stalker and it works, and than that addon along with all the settings I share with my other device it will work as long as I don't watch it simultaneously.

I guess server doesn't kick people automatically if they do something like this, but a person has to block your MAC, so that's why those Stalker clones work couple of days until someone bans the MAC, or owner changes it. Am I right with this assumption?

And my suggestion was to implement single sign-on and people couldn't take advantage of hijacked mac and I'm pretty sure server load would drop.
 
@ Puska: And my suggestion was to implement single sign-on and people couldn't take advantage of hijacked mac and I'm pretty sure server load would drop.

The greater takeaway is if you protect your MAC, it won't be hijacked. If someone guesses your fully-protected MAC and tries to use it, the sever will not allow it because the associated credentials (i.e., serial, id 1, id 2, and signature) have not been supplied.
 
I'm having a problem on my android box s802 where if I put the guide preference to "xmltv only" then it comes up blank. If I put any other option, the guide shows up; I assume that it is only pulling data from the "provider" whatever that is. However, I have a few issues with this:
1. it's very slow to load
2. It does not support colored guide like xmltv epg grabber
3. DST is always off so the guide is off by 1 hour

I have successfully set up everything on my macbook with "XMLTV Only" and it works perfectly fine. It's just an issue on my android box. Anyone else run into this same issue?

I tried downloading the guide.xml from the android browser and then just referred the PVR stalker client to the location of the guide and everything worked as it should. Kind of a headache to do on a regular basis. It seems the client is being blocked from accessing/downloading the guide.xml but I'm not getting any error messages.

Can anybody suggest anything?
 
Where to & steps in moving

To solve can't load dll you need to move the pvr.client file to another location

Seems Android users are the ones with this Problem.

PVR Stalker is located in the Addon Folder (UserData Folder would not be the one needing to be moved )

Different versions of Android have different permissions and ability for user to move files.

KitKat 4.4 - 4.4.4 the default install location is mnt/SDcard (can't mount from external)

Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/addons is the path location of PVR.stalker client in my box

there is no .DLL file rather in Linux/Android it is libpvr.stalker.NFPS.SO (the .SO file is a Library file the equivalent to a .DLL)

I have physicall move the .SO file to ROOT and it does not work.

Would really like to Know Where to Move the Add On File.

Is this the correct procedure for moving ?

As of v14, Kodi supports a backdoor to specify the location of your settings folder, which includes the userdata folder and add-ons. It is the equivalent of using environment variables on other platforms
This is accomplished by creating a plain text file file at /sdcard/xbmc_env.properties (the root directory for the Android device) with the following line:
xbmc.data=<path to the Kodi data folder you wish to use>
 
On Windows 10, using the old client fine, decided to switch to this with the changes to the guide and all that, so disabled the stock stalker client, generated a new mac, installed this, entered new mac and donation, and all I get is

"Connection lost", "Startup failed" over and over again. Uninstalled, got new mac, tried again, same thing. Been at this for an hour now.

Any ideas?


EDIT: Went into my AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data folder and deleted the stalker_nfps folder and all is good.

Hi dvbken,

thank you for keeping this great addon updated.
I am curious now that epg login has been implemented.

does the new plugin negotiate over https now or is it still sent as a http get request?

thanks again, best regards

you need to move the pvr.stalker.nfps folder to /data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/apk/assets/addons/ and then set its permissions, including sub-folders/files, to 777 - I used FTPDroid to do all of this. After that change your MAC to a new one on papiao and then enter it along with the donation number into the addon's settings.

Device doesn't have to be rooted to get access to that folder ? I would assume it doesn't

Rooted Nexus player running Marshmallow 6.0 but have a problem when I move pvr.stalker.nfps to data/data.... and set permission to 777 and start Kodi again I don't see Stalker NFPS in PVR Clients
 
try install it normally also.
i'm not quite clear on what convo is about lol I have not tried it so I don't know if I have a issue. but anyway it looks like paraniodjack says the addon looking for a file at the place you put it, so try install it from zip too so kodi can see the addon and the addon might find the file you copied. good luck :)

If you install a newer copy of a PVR Client in the data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons (as it is in my box) of a PVR Client that comes with Kodi, the new one will be used over the original that comes with Kodi. I installed 0.9.7 like this on my box and it works just fine without having to root anything.

Now if your using the NFPS version, it should work the same way but you will now have wto PVR Stalker clients and you would need to disable the original one and enable the BFPS one.

You also need to make sure you install the correct version. There are two versions, Arm and x86 so you have to know what your devices uses for a processor.
