Stalker Client - Authentication Failed. Retrying

[MrAntBennett]

Hi All!

I'm receiving the "Authentication Failed. Retrying" message as soon as I open Kodi on my Android box. I've gotten the message twice as it was retried after timing out.

I've looked for a resolution through the sticky threads and I've applied them to the best of my knowledge. I've disabled/enabled the Live TV option under System while clearing the data. Disabled/enabled the Stalker Client PVR service. I've reset my MAC. I've even changed my MAC address and still hasn't worked.

Were there any issues or outages that I'm not aware of?

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can lend!

having the same issue seems it's down atm

its down, i think its a major hit, none of my alternatives are working either, and they are not related to iptv

I think something changed, as I had the same issue, but eventually go on. It works differently on a different IP address using a vpn.

[MrAntBennett]

Gotcha!

So it seems the best resolution is to just wait it out, lol.

Thanks!

Yes, I was going to suggest that you come here first and check out the posts. That way, if you see other people experiencing the same issue, you won't drive yourself crazy trying to solve an issue that can't be resolved at your end.

I'm connecting fine using the free Cyberghost vpn on my PC, using a UK server. Strange.

Yeah, at first I didn't see anyone mentioning here in the Stalker Client section but afterwards saw that in the IPTV Private Servers section people were sharing the same problems.

This forum is top notch and definitely helped.

Thanks again!

It was down since last night. Updated the Stalker Client to new version 1.0.5 and I thought it was going to solve it but to no avail. Hopefully it will come back on sometime today.

At least I know that there's an update on the Stalker Client now, lol.

Annnnnnd, just like that we're working! My guide doesn't have programs loaded in but, I'm watching TV! I'm sure it will come back eventually! Again, thanks to everyone who responded in this thread!

Seems to be better now. Back on a us based IP address.

Mine is back as well and the ninja epg updater loaded with it. You might have to restart your system to get the guide again.

Just an fyi, I'm using Kodi 16 RC1 but the Kodi 17 Stalker Client is now version 2.2.0. Not really sure what the diff is and I'm not yet comfortable installing 17. Maybe I'll try it later on my Nexus player.

reiner, you might try Kodi 16.1. It fixes a few bugs in 16.0 and works with Sc 1.03. I was getting the occasional lockup on 16.0 but so far not a one on 16.1 so it seems to have fixed that.

Thanks. It is working now on my laptop and the TV guide showed the program. Also, working on Android devices except that the TV Guide was blank. Any idea why?
