Can I use the same donation (route) on two devices? (One Mag, one Kodi)

[tvnoobie]

Both are in my household (in different rooms). I understand I won't be able to use them at the same time. I just want to configure them both with the same donation/login so I can watch one at a time.

I have a Mag254 box in one room, and a Kodi setup with Stalker in the other room. The problem is, I have to update my donation mac each time I want to switch TVs, since I have to use 00:1A:79 for the Mag box and 00:1A:78 for Kodi. This is a hassle. Isn't there a way to configure it so I can have both setup without having to switch Macs?

[wickedjoker]

Nope your will have to change it since the first 3 mac's have to match device type!

[phantail]

not sure about the nope I have it on 3 computers using kodi and one android Samsung view I just don't use more than 1 at a time I used same user password and always punch in the same serial number when I filled in the blanks in iptv stalker new paipino stalker

But your donation mac starts with 00:1A:78, right? The problem is one of my devices is a Mag box, which requires a 00:1A:79 mac. All of your devices are android.

[wickedjoker]

tvnoobie is correct now if he had android to android no problem I think even the emulators are a 78 mac now so like I said you will have to change the mac every time. Either that or sling box it :)

What do you mean by sling box it? Can you explain?

[tvnoobie]

Sorry to bump this but I still don't know what you mean by "sling box it".

[bmramon]

Slingbox is a device that allows you to watch video/sound from your set top box (mag, avov, amazon fire, kodi pc, etc etc) - into many tv's.

You can use the same MAC (the MAG254's) in both the MAG and Kodi, however you can only use one of the devices at a time, and will need to do an IPTV Reset when you wish to use the other device. You can use the PVR Stalker for this, IPTV Stalker and PVR Stalker NFPS does not allow this.

Since the OP has a device that uses the 00:1A:79 prefix where you can't modify the MAC, its "ok" to use that MAC in Kodi (and the STB Emulator). The services ask you to use the 00:1A:78 prefix for emulators only so that you don't conflict with a box owner's MAC. This is not an enforceable hard rule, rust realize if you do use the 79 prefix with Kodi or an emulator, you can be 'bumped', and you do need to change the MAC in the donation checker.

Please help? This isn't working. I can't login on the Kodi box, it just says "authentication failed"

[wickedjoker]

tvnoobie you have to do an iptv reset each time you switch from mag and pvr stalker...

I understand that. For the moment, I'm not even attempting it on the Mag box, just trying to get it working on Kodi. I purchased a new subscription (route) from iks66, but I can't get it working on Kodi. I followed all the directions provided by dara and in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N1xXWrSjxA

But I keep getting "authentication failed". I've tried doing an iptv reset each time!

Are you using stalker with epg updater?

[tvnoobie]

Are you using stalker with epg updater?

No, I'm just using the stock PVR "Stalker Client" that came with Kodi. Should I be using epg updater?

By the way, I'm using my mac in 00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx format (that dara said I could do), instead of 00:1A:78:xx:xx:xx. The 79 one matches my Mag mac, but I'm not using Mag at all at the moment.

My Mac in Kodi starts with 00:1A:78. I use the native stalker and epg updater from Ninja (pyscon). Clear out your setting in stalker and put your info in the EPG updater. Follow the following link. Works great for me.

bmramon can you switch channels from another room with slingbox ?

Yep, I got it working, thanks. Found out I mistyped the url, I had to type the exact one listed here: http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?16461-PVR-Stalker-(Kodi-Built-in)-Set-up-tutorial not the one IKS66 sent me in the email.


You can use the same MAC (the MAG254's) in both the MAG and Kodi (...) and will need to do an IPTV Reset when you wish to use the other device.

What about if I punch in my Mag serial number into Stalker's configuration, so they both have the same serial? Will I still have to do a reset when I switch between them?

Is there any configuration I can do to avoid doing a reset when I switch between them?

If you get caught on two different boxes at the same time, you will get banned and lose your donation. Be careful with that.

No, it's not that simple with the MAGs. The serial number is only part of the credentials sent by the MAG. You need the Device ID as well. The problem is that you need to install a script to extract it, but no one has ever posted success in doing it.

If you are able to get those credentials and clone them to a Kodi Add-on, you need to only run one of the devices at a time, and you can't run simultaneously, at least for very long.

Thanks for your replay. Do NFPS/IKS66 know what the device ID of my mag is since I'm connected to their servers? If not, how about Informir themselves? Do you think they'd tell me if I emailed either of them?
If none of that is possible, is there any way I can jailbreak/modify/whatever my Mag box so I can find out what my device ID is? Or even modify my device ID like I can in Stalker?

And yes I know I can't run both simultaneously, that's not what I'm trying to do. I don't have my laptop with me all the time and it's a hassle to log into the web portal and do a IPTV reset every time I want to switch between my bedroom and living room TV.

What about this method: staff edited live link to other iptv site
Will it work?

[tvnoobie]

So, bumping this because I still don't know how to find out my Mag's device ID. Anyone know?

[catz]

On the bottom of the receiver.

Nah, it's not that simple. The credentials are encoded in the firmware, and he would need to install a script that would display that info. The instructions are in the original release post by "pocpoc", but no one has ever reported success with doing this.

Okay, I'm willing to try it though. Has anyone specifically said it doesn't work, or just that no one has posted trying it yet? I don't mind being the first to try.

It actually worked (I used a program called Putty and followed the directions). Thanks again for the help!

[dara]

Great! Let us know if you are able to use that info without having to do an IPTV Reset using Kodi. You don't have to do this, but it would be nice to see a 'step-by-step' as others might want to try this.

Yes, I am able to switch between the two without doing a reset. I just downloaded Putty and followed the directions exactly in that thread you linked.
One downside is switching from mag to kodi automatically bumps the mag box back to the login screen if I leave the box in standby. I need to find a solution for this.
