Do I want to keep having to change stuff on my fire to box for iptv , that I paid for ? NO .. I'm completely lost - I do not know which is the correct version of iptv to download , then I see in some post it mentions a 13 digit Mac .. Mines 12 , I have changed it with Papiao numerous times - still getting bad Mac addy , could someone please help ? I'd really appreciate it
The cause of all these unable to load channels and auth failures in my opinion

stalker addon wont work on either my phone or android box if I make a 13 digit serial number and /or with/without adding a value to the 3 id options below serial number as I have read in other posts...only works checking send serial and leaving everything else blank..using stalker version 9.0.21
so i guess ..what was the whole point but to piss a lot of paying customers off gain?..you almost need an associates degree in computer engineering to get this enable to work and keep it working every time you turn around..quite frankly its getting old and tiring to alot of people

Think we need to know what to fill in on the different fields we know about serial numbers but what about other lines how many numbers or what has to be added
I think the whole point is to increase the security, so people \ freeloaders cannot just guess MAC addresses and use them, i.e. all these stalker clones that people are using for free
I also don't think using 13 zeros is a good idea either as these people \ freeloaders can just set that as the default and start guessing your MAC addresses again, you know the one YOU pay for.....
People, I do not understand why this is so difficult to understand. There are many posts that tell you how to do this correctly. But I will say it again one more time.
It is now a requirement for you to send a serial number so this option must be enabled. The goal is to stop these freeloaders from taking YOUR MAC and using it and causing you to have to keep changing MACs because it stopped working for you. You might think it is your providers fault but it is yours for not securing your MAC in the first place allowing this guys to do this and in turn now the providers forcing you to use the serial number option. To secure YOUR MAC is your responsibility not the providers.
Unfortunately the Kodi clients only send hashes of the MAC for the serial number fields if you only enable the send serial number and the EMUs may send some other generic information, this provides no security as all. All a hijacker needs is your MAC and enable the serial number and they can use your MAC.
To prevent this you need to set the custom serial number fields. There are 4 of them and if any are blank the custom serial number will not be enabled. It does not matter how long or what you put in these field. If you use the same MAC for multiple devices, then you will need to enter the same information in them as well.
The fields that need to be filled out are:
Serial Number
Device 1
Device 2
Signature

I used 13 digits for device id's and signature, tried with 3 first.. did not work.
I dont know what the correct number of digits i think 4 is enough, serial is 13 digits.
i deleted my post since things changed overnight with iks66, things where not as i assumed as they must have finished setting it all up up later.
btw. i am using the regular stalker pvr only and made up the numbers..
the initial authentication takes longer 1min or so for me, but it was only the first time.

i assume most important you want pvr back?
get a freash mac then enter the details serial, device id's and signature in the 0.8.3 pvr client.
it takes a while for the first authentication. be patient. if it fails quick when you enable it try disable/enable again (it did that to me for some odd reason)
after that try move your settings to iptv stalker if you need it that is.
edit: couldn't help testing more. the number of digits are up to you, like dara said treat it like a pin and use at least 4.
and the pvr stalker client fails the first time (it was not a coincidence) just restart kodi or the client, i dont know if this will happen to if you setup the number in iptv stalker first. probably not but i did/do not use it.

Finally!!!! Stalker client is back working,
What I did was the following
Serial number: any 13 digits
Device ID: any 4 or more digits/I did 4 digits
Device ID2: any 4 or more digits/I did 4 digits
Signature: any 4 or more digits/ I did 4 digits.
Disable then enable stalker client 0.8.3 I'd it fails then disable then enable again until it loads.
*Must have a fresh mac

Can someone please make a proper tutorial well explained guide? I have followed every step nicely with the folks who got this thing working with the new IPTV stalker addon and pvr stalker 8.3. I have made a new mac and entered every field that has to be filled with serial and ID and signature and so on. And i still get authorization failed in stalker addon and unable to load channels in PVR stalker. What is wrong? Whould be very greatful with an well explained guide. Thanks!
not using the stalker video addon, dont even have it installed....I will use pvr client 0.8.3 but am going to try the new mac and serial, was able to get in touch w my guy and he is going to put the new mac in for me and i will configure the device id's and serial on my device.....i imagine that will work just fine....thx to all for the great support!
