Stalker Client NFPS Release Thread

I install Stalker NFPS client for x86 as my Nexus Player has Intel cpu, enter Kodi see Stalker PVR built-in and Stakler NFPS since when you try to start it shows unable to load DLL, I move the folder into data\data.... as per @paranoidjack instruction and when I re-enter Kodi I can only see built-in Stalker client not Stalker NFPS, he said MOVE not COPY so I didn't try to have Stalker NFPS folder in both locations, might try with that.

I'm mostly curious to see why Stalker NFPS doesn't work on some Android boxes and how to fix it, as my Stalker built-in works perfectly

now forget it and go download the fixed one on epg.ninja like dara wrote to another user.

@tuxen I do read posts, but disregard those that aren't helpful.

I suggest you use your own advice and read the post, figure out what is going on with Stalker NFPS, what the issue is on some Android boxes, and if you know how to fix it good, please do share, if not, than keep fingers off keyboard until you have something constructive to bring to this topic.

You admitted yourself you don't know what convo is about and you came to lecture here?
 
what the heck are you talking about? do you think ppl give thanks if its not help, working and is constructive? go back and read the post please.
I gave you the instructions to get further going on a platter.. and I did try it.. you weird eh.. spacehead
if you haven't figured it out what was wrong with the "bad" addon by following up what I wrote you never will.

I did everything your complaining about that I did not. you are the one in the wrong.
at least others got something from my post but I guess someone like you will not be helped, I'll remember that.

This fork of the add-on is intended for use with only NFPS, IPTVRocket and IPTV66. It is a simplified version in terms of what needs to be configured in the settings.


- on android, if you get the following error, I cannot help you. nothing is wrong with the add-on


This is from OP, so author knows about the issue, and as I said it doesn't work on SOME android boxes.

I have it working on my Note 4 but Nexus player gives this error, and I was trying to find the way around it
 
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 :)

You're suggestion and my answer to it ...

So I did explain what I did and what is the issue I'm having and if you read, maybe you just didn't apprehend it, because you wouldn't accuse me for not reading posts.

what the heck are you talking about? do you think ppl give thanks if its not help, working and is constructive? go back and read the post please.

So if you've read my post you would realize I did everything as per your "instructions on the platter" and Kodi can't see it after being moved
 
Go to epg.ninja for a good link.


Thanks dara. After trying the original link from the first post and letting it wait for a while I was able to download the file. Installed it, pretty straight forward on the configuration and the EPG is working wonderfully. Many thanks to the creator and the helpful posts.

BTW, it's working on an android device.
 
Here is a relevant part of the log file, and I checked all the files in the folder are R/W, found people on ftazeta reporting same issue

Did you also set the permissions to 777 (including sub folders and files?)

If you didn't then that may be the reason why it isn't showing within Kodi.

Remove the add-on from "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons" - the storage on Android is mounted with the -noexec flag which is the reason for the error. It should only be in the /data/data/... location since the root file-system isn't mount with -noexec.

If it still fails to load then it must be an issue with Marshmallow.

@paranoidjack problem I'm having is when I moved pvr.stalker.nfps in /data/data... is that Kodi doesn't detect it, like it's not installed at all, and if I have pvr.stalker.nfsp in "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons" also it just reads it from that location and can't load DLL

Also I'm unable to access /data ; /dev ; /root ; folders over FTP, I can access / so I had to do it through ES File Explorer and changed permission to -rwx -rwx -rwx which is equal to 777

so not sure if there's problem with the way marshmallow is handling folders, but definitely something is, as I said my galaxy note 4 on 5.1.1 runs it without any modification, just install and it works
 
I've already explained this in my previous post.

It wont load from "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons" because that mount doesn't have permission to execute files - the reason why the .so (dll) can't load. Trying to get it working via that path is a dead end so delete it from there.

You aren't clear if you changed everything within "/data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/apk/assets/addons/pvr.stalker.nfps" to 777 as well. If you haven't then go ahead and do so.

For your FTP problem: did you grant FTPdroid root access? That could well be the reason why you don't have access.

It may work fine on your Galaxy but that's more than likely down to Samsung removing the -noexec flag on that specific mount.

Yes I'm aware it won't load from sdcard "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons" I merely post a log for disbelievers who think if they didn't experience a problem, it doesn't exist.

So problem is that once I move folder "pvr.stalker.nfps" into "/data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/apk/assets/addons/pvr.stalker.nfps" and set permission to -rwx -rwx -rwx as that's how ES File explorer shows them when I re-enter Kodi under PVR Clients Stalker NFPS is not there, so my kodi installation isn't detecting it from ""/data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/apk/assets/addons/"

Regardless of that since Google didn't implement "3-dot" menu even with soft keys I'm not able to start FTP service on my Nexus player which is running 6.0 Marshmallow, so I tried to start Remote Manager from inside ES File Explorer which also uses ftp protocol, Root Explorer is turned on inside of ES File explorer and folders are accessible but when I try to access /data folder from my computer it's just shows connection terminated or something like that, but I can access other folders no problem, and /root /data and /dev are folders on the bottom so not sure what's going on there but if I set permissions within ES File Explorer from inside the box it still should work, but as I said Kodi doesn't "see" Stalker NFPS when moved.
 
You still haven't answered my question: are the files within "/data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/apk/assets/addons/pvr.stalker.nfps" also set to 777 (rwx -rwx -rwx) ?

If you have adb access to the Nexus Player then you can also set the permissions this way:

adb shell
su (you'll need to grant it root access on the Nexus GUI)
chmod -R 777 /data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/apk/assets/addons/pvr.stalker.nfps

What do you mean I didn't answer

It's in my post before yours

Anyway I hope to get nvidia shield in couple of weeks and this won't be an issue anymore :)
 
I'm not sure if English is your first language because there seems to be a misunderstanding.

I know you have set the folder (/data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/apk/assets/addons/pvr.stalker.nfps) to -rwx -rwx -rwx - I know that it is 777, I'm Linux literate - but do the files contained inside that folder also have the same permission? Just because you set the permission on the parent folder doesn't mean the files within it take on the same permissions

I'd suggest you do this without Kodi running and then start Kodi once you've moved and set the correct permissions.

You'll have the same issue with the Nvidia Shield - I'm having to do this on the TV version for the client to work.

Sorry I didn't catch files within directory, yes I did verify files withing and all were 777 but just in case I will redo the whole process once again when I get home, and everything I did I was doing with Kodi not running.

When I go through same process over and over again and it doesn't work, I'm doubting myself, so I will do it again and make sure I do everything correctly this time.

No english isn't my first language, but hope its reasonable enough.

Thanks @paranoidjack will let you know will I have success this time around.
