How Many Kodi Boxes At The Same Time?

[mriksman]

How many different Kodi boxes can access the same NFPS/IKS66 service at the same time (same donation and same MAC etc.)?

Is it better to install IPTV Stalker Add-on to create the m3u file, and then use IPTV Simple Client on all the other devices?

The rule is that you can only use the donation for IPTV on one box at a time, no simultaneous use. How well the server does in enforcing that is not known, but they do have the ability to know that a donation is being used by multiple locations. Inside the LAN is problematic, as streams have an authentication token, so it may be noticed that you may be using the same donation on multiple locations.

As far as the IPTV Stalker m3u server, it is more of an extension of a single connection. If you are using it to serve one or two devices, its probably not going to be flagged for overuse. But if you are serving a a lot of connections, you could be flagged.

Interesting. Thanks dara. I am currently using only 1 Kodi box.

I often have Kodi bomb out when switching channels. If it happens too many times, my service stops completely. I start getting;



21:33:37 T:123145303453696 ERROR: PVR - GetChannels - addon 'Stalker Middleware:http://mw1.iptv66.tv/stalker_portal/c/index.html' returned an error: server error
21:33:37 T:123145303453696 ERROR: PVR - GetChannels - cannot get channels from client '922': server error
21:33:37 T:123145303453696 ERROR: PVRChannelGroup - Load - failed to update channels
21:33:37 T:123145303453696 ERROR: PVRChannelGroupInternal - Load - failed to load channel


So they must 'log' the number of connections or something. Or block you for a certain period? At which point, I can do a Route Search, and do a IPTV Reset. However - if this happens too many times, there is a limit to how many times I can do this in a day (they limit the number of 'Route Search's you can perform in a 24 hour period). Which can really suck...


It looks like there are multiple ways to 'use' the service. The 'simplest' appears to be the built-in Stalker Client (with some help from egg.ninja). But if I have issues with my (soon to be) 3 boxes and getting 'flagged', I may have to try the IPTV Stalker + m3u serving to IPTV Simple Client.
