Stalker PVR issue on AVOV TVOnline +

[darkhelm]

Hello guys gals,
So I finally got the AVOV setup with kodi and the stalker client with the EPG.
I am able to connect to the server but when the PVR is pulling the channel list, after about 30 seconds (it kicks me out as the VOD's are being populated), it would appear the program crashes and kicks me back out to the AVOV home screen.
Has anyone else had this issue? Also with this client I noticed that you could not use the AVOV mac addres as it has 79 in it and not 78 which seems weird.
I followed the Video that was provided (thanks it helped a lot) and did the ol' switcheroo for the MAC and it connected.
I have the AVOV 4k box also but have waited to configure the stalker client on there as I wanted to play with it first on the online +. Has anyone had success with that box and the pvr client?

Thanks

Which PVR Stalker client are you using? Kodi's native PVR Stalker client doesn't load the VoDs.

the NFPS stalker client

You need to use Kodi's built-in PVR Stalker client. (System > Settings > Add-ons > PVR clients > Stalker Client). Here are the instructions for configuring it.

I don't know what it is about the built in PVR, but its temperamental as shit. Is there anything else we can use as an addon in kodi?

You can only have 1 instance of Stalker running at a time. If you do not Disable all other programs that use the Stalker Middleware (PVR.Stalker /IPTV Stalker Emulator /NFPS.Stalker Video Add-on/TV Online for AVOV), you will get Authentication Error msg..

Changing from 1 method to another requires an IPTV Reset. Switching back requires another IPTV Reset. (and you can only do 2 resets in any 24hr. period).

As your post is worded, you have 3 Stalker programs and you did not state if any of them have been disabled. If this is the case... then this is your problem.

The Stalker PVR client in Kodi is the most stable of all methods (IMO). If you have already configured the Stalker PVR Client, disable all others, Then go to System Settings/TV - Disable and Clear Data. Shutdown Kodi. Do an IPTV Reset. Restart Kodi and go to System Settings/TV - and Enable. If your settings are per the Instruction guidelines, you will be up and running.

Good Luck

I agree with Kens. PVR Stalker is stable, producing the least amount of problems in terms of functionality. It isn't tempermental, but it does have to be configured correctly. Otherwise, it will put up a fuss. If you walk through the instructions line-by-line, you should be in good shape.
