Hi friends:
I had a small breakthrough, which I'll explain here, and want your intuition/take on what may remain as the issue.
So I changed the MAC address once more and, along with specifying my S/N, Device IDs, and Signature (all set up before enabling TV - thanks for the tip @data), I finally was able get my Rocket Donation working on my Android (Nexus 6) device.
Since I did not alter the KODI (nor the Stalker-PVR plugin) software on that Android device (i.e. didn't upgate anything) then, that my original and unprotected MAC stopped working could mean that original MAC was hijacked. As mentioned above, the new MAC address is working, and is now protected. The Stalker-PVR plugin on the Android device is version v0.8.4.
Okay, getting back to my Fedora-22/Linux computer. I'm using the exact same ./settings.xml file that now works on the Android device on that computer, but the computer scenario still fails. The Stalker-PVR plugin on the Fedora-22/Linux (which recall from a previous thread that I have to compile ground-up) is version v0.9.7.
Two questions:
(1) Does Stalker-PVR v0.8.4 respect, use and transmit S/N, Device IDs and Signatures? Or were those just place holders in v0.8.4 for future enabling? I need to know because I just registered this new MAC when my Android device connected and worked.
(2) Is anyone successfully connecting "securely" with Stalker-PVR version v0.9.7? (i.e. using S/N, Device IDs and Signature). If not, I may file this as a possible bug on stalker-pvr Github. I may have to clone and compile v0.8.4 and use that. That, in fact, was the previous version I was using before I downloaded the latest kodi, pulse-eight, kodi-platform and stalker-pvr stack (which, again, I do on Fedora-22/Linux to keep up with the software updates, fixes and enhancements).
Thoughts, observations and hunches on the above information appreciated.
Thanks again folks.
