Authentication Error and Route says up and running

[nievesj]

I'm having authentication error but the route shows to be up and running. Tried loging with donation number or route and no luck.

same here to

Yes, I have the same problem with two donations. The channels load (955) but clicking on the channel links does nothing. Tried a IPTV reset through the IPTV66 site, nothing changed.

Looks like this server is down for some reason?

Was working Saturday/Sunday morning.

Are adults or internationals working?

I can only get these to work now. No other channels .

[cwh060]

Yes a couple Adult channels are working (not all). Unsure about Internationals, I wasn't going through all of them to find out!

955 is working just tested it

[cwh060]

Loads all channels (955), but clicking on a channel link does not activate anything, it appears to time out the URL.

Using IPTV Stalker Plus (10.3.3-r3) with M3UServer enabled & IPTV Simple client. Only a couple of adult channels work, no others. Tonight I can try loading up Stalker Client and see if the IPTV Stalker PLus plugin is somehow at fault. Odd that everything on two donations and two boxes was working fine Saturday and now both are no longer working, except for adults.

Tried channel 955 - Fox Cinema, no work.

I see a few other threads with a similar problem using IPTV66.

@cwh060

if you're not a rocket-22 user you should use stalker pvr (built-in/nfps) instead of the IPTV Simple client

and I also suggest you to try my latest build (v10.3.4-r2) and follow all the steps I wrote
you will get the color-epg with auto-update

[cwh060]

Ok, will give it a try.

I did try the manual method to get a color guide modifying the settings, it never worked for me. I'll run through the guide tonight and try to get this up and working again. Your documentation explains to use the Stalker PVR (built in) yet the screen shots appear to show the IPTV Stalker Plus am I reading this wrong?

Thank

which screenshots?

fyi, the iptv stalker addon is only used as:

1.a gateway to validate your acc.
if passed, then the addon will automatically put all related data into stalker-pvr settings

2. an active epg web-server
so you can always get an auto-update epg each time you start the pvr-client

[cwh060]

Ah, Ok, that makes sense now.

[cwh060]

Ok, so I VPN'd into my machine and upgraded IPTV Stalker and Couch's Addon (V10.3.4-r2) enabled the PVR Built in stalker, after several tries and another IPTV66 reset. All the channels loaded and the guide is in color (yeah, looks nice). I disabled the EPG updater service.

Now the bad part. The only channel which starts playback is Adult 1. All others time out. So really no change from my earlier posts.

Hm.

Since 1 channel is playing, leads me to believe the server is having some issues with URL exceptions or authentication issues.

i also have iptv66 acc.
and I can confirm that there's nothing wrong with their service
all channels can be played well...
ofc with few hiccups but it's still tolerable :p

so maybe your IP is the problem itself

I've also build a simple tool to check if your IP is ok or get banned
but I haven't released it to public yet

if you dare, you may try it as the first tester :D

Sure, I'll give it a try and let you know how it works. I can also try to re-route through another VPN tonight. Seems very odd that 1 or 2 channels work and the rest do not. I will also reset my router and related equipment.

cwh

[cwh060]

Installed and ran, seemed to work, just fine. This could be the reason.

hahaha... my guess is right

with your background,
I'm sure you know what to do to get rid the issue

well... it's almost 2 am here... I need some sleep
see you tomorrow

If you are able to get a list of genres and a list of channels, after you have done a 'clear cache', that means that your login/password and MAC are accepted as valid by the server. However if you only open the numbered channels (like adults or Music, or Sports,or the countries), but time out on the other channels (like the UK or US regular channels), it probably means there is an interruption in the routing, or maybe too many hops to the end server. One way to get around that is to use a VPN, which does shorten the path to the server. The other channels work as the server actually doesn't serve the stream for those channels, they are links to other hosts.

[cwh060]

Yep, that's it for sure. I VPN'd back in, fired up a re-route and bingo, service restored. Not sitting in front of machine to be able to see the quality, but I'll try it out tonight. Yes I did an initial tracert to the server (before re-route) and it stopped after about the 12th hop, which is way too many. !@# I should have known!

Makes total sense the working channels are direct host links.

Thanks
