After using this throughout the weekend, I thought I'd share it.
It's a very roughly implemented client for the stalker middleware api. Just enough effort was put into it to watch tv, so that I don't have to use the emulator or get a mag box prematurely.
Note-1: this is only available for windows and android at the moment.
Note-2: the current testing server is the only one I've tried with this. It should work with other stalker servers but it probably won't as I don't know of any others.
Note-3: the add-on may be unstable, so don't expect much of it.
Note-4: this is not an emulator. only the servers it's been tested with will work. pm me if you know of other stalker iptv services. I might look into them.
Note-5: tested on Kodi 14.1. should work on anything Kodi 14.x
Download the appropriate zip file:
win32 = windows
android-arm = phones and most boxes <- get this if you're not sure
android-x86 = intel based boxes
uninstall old version first
1. disable it
2. uninstall it
3. restart kodi
install
1. You can use the usual method of "Install from zip file" to install the addon
2. Enable live tv/pvr under Settings -> Live TV -> General
3. Enable the "Stalker Client" pvr add-on and set the MAC (
see here) and server address like you would with the emulator
4. Restart Kodi and verify that that the addon is enabled. If it works for you, you should get something like this
Q&A
Q: VOD?
A: I don't have any interest in VOD right now. also, there isn't a sensible subsection to list VOD under the TV section of kodi, so another addon may make more sense.
Q: os x? linux, raspberry pi etc?
A: just windows and android for now. let's see how things go first
Q: I get a "Couldn't load Dll" error on android. What's wrong?
A: filesystem permissions may most likely be preventing kodi from loading the addon from the external storage. I did not have this problem with the nexus 5 (kitkat; stock; no-root), but the nexus player gave me this error. this seems to be so for lollipop. you can try the modified apk that includes the addon. see the bottom of this post.
troubleshoot
All I see is "Working...". What's wrong?
(1) the channel(s) is down
(2) the authentication expired or got invalidated. so, restart kodi
(3) someone else shares your creative mind and somehow uses the same mac address as you. thus (2) happens, so change the mac address and restart kodi
(4) you are using more than one device configured with the same mac address. this won't work. you have to use a different mac address for each device. otherwise one device will invalidate the other. again like (2). (the portal may be tracking IPs as well but idk)
(5) check that the stb emulator or your mag box is working. if that doesn't work, this won't either
(6) still no go? uninstall the addon. restart kodi. install it again
(7) some other weirdness is happening. in that case post your kodi.log on pastebin or similar and link it in your reply here
what's new
- gui error notifications
- additional channels
- better combatitility in some areas
- stability fixes
modified apks that include the stalker addon
you need to uninstall your current kodi install first (remember to backup your user data first so that you don't have to reconfigure kodi from scratch)
