EXTREME buffering today

[infectedtrut]

Horrible. It seems to be buffering every 1 to 2 seconds for 1 to 2 seconds.

Kodi on Firetv
cnn, truetv, hbo, cinemex, showtime, and most american channels but SKY seems to buffer much less.

Yes, let's see if there will be an official announcement about lately server buffer issues.

[big dady]

I don't think there will be any announcement for buffering as it does not affect the mass i for one don't have no problems with mag 254, android with emulator and non of my friends or family that's about 20 peoples with out problems. And if you look most that are with problems are hardware not server Getting those amazon things could be part of the problems. $30 bugs can only do so much just saying

I had to leave the house to catch some college football because the freezing was unbearable - I had good time at the sports bar I went to!

I tend to agree with this view….i wouldn't use a fire stick for anything…..minix x8h plus handles iptv like a champ….i can't say buffering has ever been an issue….very rarely.

[asesinopr]

Running smoothly today, I know they'll fix it!! Man, its not easy, they had an ECM on IKS and then this.... this group is amazing..

[desicable]

I am still experiencing a lot of buffering on my MXQ3 box. Not watchable.

[GlennC]

I'm running Kodi (PC) and the service is unwatchable today. Buffering on a 55 MBPS connection.

[dafatmack]

Extreme buffering here on both of my NVIDIA Shields on 75 mbps connection. Stalker client 0.8.4

[frostycold]

Freeze Free on my Mag. Been watching in the background as I do some work. Should be specific on what channels are freezing. The ones I've watched this morning have been fine. Remember, there is an issue with encoding on Kodi clients.

[wankerman]

Extreme buffering too. Every 1 to 2 seconds on my MXQ box. Usually, only the foreign channels buffer, but now even the American channels are unwatchable. Tested my connection @ 33Mbps.

Please elaborate on this "encoding on Kodi clients" issue.

[goonie]

Unwatchable in western Canada too. It started a couple of days ago. It has been working fine in the past, although, unreliably.

I am using stalker client and Kodi on an M8 (s802). 150 Mbps connection.

It is not my internet that is the problem.

I assume that the problem is at the server end. Lots of people suffering with buffering lately.

I would love to see a solution...I could have sold a hundred of subscriptions had it not been for the buffering issues.

[frostycold]

mpeg 2 encoding. Plenty of posts on the issue.

[justlearning]

Freezing on every channel I try, on mag 254

[dafatmack]

It seems no one is addressing the issue with any announcement so I guess we gotta sit and wait to see what happens

I have the Fire tv , not the fire stick.

Fire tv is quadcore and 2 gb of ram. For the pricing ,is the best android box you can get.

It may not be the best any longer if IPTV doesn't work with it any anymore lol, I have of them collectin dust the last couple of days

It is obvious the service is in free-fall now. It isn't only Amazon devices and Kodi driven devices that are experiencing problems. The problems span devices. Today is the worst I have ever seen this service. But everything in general seems to be heading downhill.

The buffering issue is real and loads of people are experiencing the problem. One can watch movies and TV shows with absolutely no buffering at other sites and then come here and the channels are buffering every 4 or 5 seconds. That is not a device issue or a Kodi issue. The servers are either misconfigured or overwhelmed.

PPV movies and TV programs have been removed.

Many channels have been removed.

Popular channels are down and are not being addressed.

New channels have been added but none of them are working.

Whatever was done to the servers should be reversed. People made a donation in good faith, not thinking the service would rapidly deteriorate to the point of being unwatchable.

[big dady]

Well i'm enjoying the grey cup on channel 143 with no problem on mag 254 and on emulator v.0.7.4 on my tablet just so i don't miss a thing LOL so you guys tell me. So it's the weekend i'm watching sports, i have no freezing and you guys say it's the server and i say it's at your end.
Sorry but the truth is the truth just my 2 cents

[Bkman2020]

Could be provider or end user, or both .

[shelly]

as people on here have said over and over again this should not be your main source of programs , always have a backup i use this paid service and if unwatchable i use another free one and swap between the two. Always have a backup people

Ya on Bell 50 MBPS and since joining a few days ago i see major buffering on pretty much 75% of the channels running Kodi 15.2 IPTV Stalker add-on, it was worse using the TV pvr client omg like it would freeze and had to reboot box.
Yesterday watching AMC walking dead i had to leave IPTV to go Sports Devil because buffering was crazy like between 15 to 50 seconds behind.

[greg]

it is running good here no freezing on most channel

[jv0099]

Don't wanna be rude, but I've setup the service for two different Android boxes running kodi 15.2 and I'm seeing buffering on both.
Both running IPTV stalker latest video add-on on M8S, the MPEG2 channels and buffering are horrible. Maybe someone knows something we don't know or maybe they have magical boxes....

PS I had better IPTV service on IPTV Stalker-EXO clone then this when I payed for it ;), so I left the stalker clone that was working flawless to user the legit version and it's really crappy..sorry my english.

Is that why were seeing so many clones?????

That stalker clone is IPTV Stalker right? lol

[dafatmack]

We are running great now with the fix that was provided thanks guys

[dan2015]

up and running fine here

[shelly]

dafatmack you are correct it is stalker on the clone but it is strange that it works better dont ask me how cause i dont know but as i have said on this before , the channels were better quality and less freezing and buffering when they allowed kodi users to trial it before it went to subscription , it seems that they have put all the time and effort in stopping clone macs and beefing up the security that sight has been lost of quality of service, you will never stop people stealing the service ask the likes of sky and virgin who spent millions of pounds to stop it to no avail. they need to stop and get the service perfect first then mess about after that trying to stop people stealing it . quality is what keeps money coming in ...

[K00lKatT]

service fine here today, thks...

[jv0099]

My stalker is legit and I only installed the clone as a test...Ive only started using Kodi for about 3 4 months and still learning this. So That's why i left those clones in the dust and went for payed service.
I don't use clones but only the legit version i think 9.0.21.

[Bkman2020]

Intresting this is the first time i have read about stalker clones.

[jv0099]

dafatmack what is the fix buddy?

[jv0099]

What was the fix that was provided for this issue?

[Enlight_Ment]

Hey guys how do I download the latest version of IPTV Stalker to the Android Firestick?

[gregm]

Hey guys how do I download the latest version of IPTV Stalker to the Android Firestick?
you will need to download the .apk and use the tools that you used to install kodi to add anything to the firestick. I have both a firestick and firebox. the fire box you can load from either usb or micro sd card it's so much easier. if you are talking about the stand alone iptv stalker,then download the latest .apk file and send it through firetools!

[Bkman2020]

Please ask in android forum thanks

Hello, i'm a new user, i'm on NFPS since 2 weeks, and like the most of you, it doesn't work anymore. Buffering each 2 or 4 seconds on AMC, Starz, Cinemax...
Sky is ok because MP3 or AAC audio.
I'm on a 8 month Mac Mini 8 gb of ram (a beast). And kodi last version, with the pvr stalker client.

I also have IKS66 on IPTV stalker add on, same problem, but less lagging on AMC for example. It's a little bit better.

Anyway, i tried the "fix issue" (disabling acceleration) It's still the same. I got no option for codec, it's only "acceleration"... I switch off. No change.

A bit disappointed paying 100 bucks and 2 days after not working.... Issues and problems can occurs, but it's not normal during so long....

Can't they simply turn back to the old streaming way which was perfect ?

Best regards guys
