Ok, First thank you for allowing me to join.
I'm having problems, I could not get stalker to work in Kodi so I uninstalled Kodi and installed a fresh copy of kodi,helix 14.1,I installed stalker via zip then I enabled stalker pvr,put in server info changed mac address, made sure live tv is enabled, closed kodi and reopened and still have no tv bar, tried adding channels via channel manager in settings and I get the message " not supported by the pvr backend".
Any suggestions??

I am trying this on 32 bit Window 7 computer

You have to disable live tv, reboot, then enable live tv and reboot again. It will work just have to get it enabled. Took me a couple cycles but I got it working on stock confluence skin 4.1

Thanks for the advice I got it working.. I have 1 more question. I'm using NFPS iptv, How many channels should I be getting? I have read from 50 to 100 right now I am showing 59 in my channels.

I installed stalker pvr client and think it is great. I am having one issue of after watching a channel for a few minutes if I change channels or stop the active channel and then try to open a new or same channel it fails. No channels will work until I close Kodi down and reopen it. then it works fine for the one channel. So basically if I want to change channels I have to close kodi and reopen for each channel change.

this is weird. try getting creative with you mac address. some troubleshooting tips were added to the first post. take a look at them.

I did read the first post, I have arm androids, I tried on a nexus 5 and nexus 7 both running lollipop and a android mini PC running kit Kat all have same DLL message.The message about the error suggests a problem with permissions and to try using an x86 with the add-on preconfigured which of course won't install on arm based devices. Thanks for welcoming me to the site and I appreciate any help you can give me on this.

a modified apk for android arm was added to the first post.

others getting the dll error should try it too.

when you say say disable live tv and reboot and enable live tv and reboot is that with the stalker add on enambled or disabled tried this a few times and am stumped, can't seem to get anything to come up after reboot over here on kodi 14.1 for windows. Also by the term reboot on windows do you mean hitting reboot through kodi or just exit and re-entering.. reboot reboots my whole computer, is this neccesary

I've tried this stalker pvr (along with the mag250 for my mygica downloaded from google play store) on a windows 8.1 laptop and a windows 7 laptop (pvr works good but I had lots of freezing). I put it on my kodi 14.1 on mmy mygica 520e (with latest firmware) and its seriously the best. No freezing, works like a charm.. Just wanted to say thank you!



(also wondering if the freezing I experienced might have been because someone else was using the mac address I chose, just a thought)

Hi and Thank you for the welcome. I was on Kodi 14.2 windows 7 ultra. I have used other addons like FTV and Simple IPTV I think it was called. As I said the first few moments it is fine and then if I do not change channels it is great. Clearly I need to get some logging going.

Went home last night and no channels were showing up in the channel list at all. PVR scanned on startup but list was empty. I tried several things but ultimately I changed the last character in the mac address in the configuration from E to D. restarted and everything works great. No more channel switching failure at all. Thanks again for your help. Awesome pvr!

disable both exit kodi. start kodi reenable both it should ask you to restart. If it does not ask restart it yourself. You do not need to reboot windows.

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

regular installation
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 and server address like you would with the emulator:

4. Restart Kodi. If it works for you, you should get something like this:
View attachment 307

manual installation (windows only)
1. Extract the archive to:
Code: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\

2. Follow 2-4 above

Q&A
Q: adult channel(s)?
A: soon

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. you need to uninstall your current kodi install first (remember to backup your user data first so that you don't have to reconfigure from scratch)
Code: 
arm: https://mega.co.nz/#!PQoVmQBD!_fzK9jFxPXUf9ewiWZ7-46TPT9z_gzI_j03iPqdJ6g0
x86: https://mega.co.nz/#!XQRSiaAD!213BsKTFvMGUtT8k0iDQos6ru9mDwHpBNB4sawTpfe4

Q: All I see is "Working...". What's wrong?
A: several things could be happening:
(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 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? close kodi and delete this file:
Code: 
windows: %appdata%\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\pvr.stalker.client\cache.xml
android: /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker.client/cache.xml
(7) some other weirdness is happening. in that case post your kodi.log on pastebin or similar and link it in your reply here

I have read that it might not be working due to the skin I am using. Is there any specific recommended skin?
