I do not remember reading anyplace that smart STB is a supported way to watch the service... If you use a supported device/ way to watch then VOD works fine.. Nobody ever said any smart tv app would work 100% so you can't complain... That is the reason it's not working for you, for others it works just fine.

VOD works for me using Kodi 16.1, Playlist loader and VLC external player. Here's how I do it.

I configure a separate M3U list using VLC. Edit all the other channels out, this list only contains VOD, save the file as a .txt file
Using Playlist loader, load this list into PLL.
Playlist loader shows all the VOD channels.
Trying to launch a stream directly from PLL, Kodi will time out before the link ever gets a chance to play. I've not figured out how to extend this time yet.
I therefore, use VLC to launch VOD's.
I have a modified playercorefactory file to have a menu which has a "play using".
Since I can record streams, my playercorefactory.xml is customized. Search NapoleonWils0n git hub for instructions on how to set this up for various OS's.

Exactly. I use MAG devices (there I can't change any media players) and some days it works and some days not. Especially not at weekends. Seems too be a server problem. Maybe too "weak". And I don't know if it has to do with it, but I use the iptv66 service. Are the other services different (they are all the same, right?) and/or do they have more powerful servers?

probably you have noticed the modus operandi on this forum. Mods and fake customers say the service is great, all works.
Regular customers get the shaft for mostly non-watchable channels.
For poor service, the mods blaming other providers and for complaints moles. They ban posters and delete perfectly legit postings.
Just like in politic. Suppress all dissent and disseminate propaganda how great they are.
They have never learned from history, because at the end, truth will prevail.

[h=2]Unacceptable Service[/h]
The used to be a time over a year ago when the service worked as it was supposed to. Channels were properly listed and played properly. Those days are gone. The channels work properly maybe 1 or 2 days a week. The rest of the time they either keep looping 4 seconds, or they don't load at all. Also the mods are so quick to defend this sub par service and claim it's user error. I just felt like venting because this service I paid for isn't even usable most of the time. Obviously the American servers are overloaded but a decent company would fix it. Judging by the direct tv logo bouncing around the screen on channels occasionally, I'd say this is a couple people in their basements using consumer grade equipment. In addition, this forum seems to have no real connection with these individuals streaming, rather only a connection with the front end and account services.​

ijk is a Media Video Player.
You can find it for free download online.

Your Mag box has a player onboard (its own Media Player).
But I do not think that you can add an extra external player onto a Mag box

Then again, I doubt the Mags Player is the issue here. The VODs seem to work okay thru this Mag here.
