Need help setting up new donation...

[addicted]

Hello, my donation had recently expired. I ordered a new setup and just received my new donation info. Looks like the IPTV portal has also changed.

I been using iMPlayer for some time now and it was working well until now. I updated all the input fields in implayer using my new donation info.


Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the settings, although it Looks like implayer is not able to connect to the server.


I'm using mac address on papiao as I always used this setup. Never used the playlist feature...

Unless I'm suppose to wait some time before my donation becomes live?

Hoping somebody is familiar with implayer or may know what the trouble is?

Make sure your url and MAC address is correct and no typo mistake. Also, try to change to different portal and perform a reset on Papio.

Accounts that expire are not deleted from the Server for 30 days, meaning your MAC# linked to your old donation is still associated to it.

If this is the problem, you have to go to your old account info page and remove the MAC#. Then you have to Enter it on your new donation account info.
*Theoretically, you should not be able to use a MAC# that is still active on another account.

btw..., I know nothing about implayer!

** Just checked iMPlayer setup info and it does not show any method to use MAC connections, only m3u playlist or Xtream Code login.:confused:

Hello, thanks for all the replies. I managed to get implayer to connect with my donation. :) Would you believe, I needed to add a "/" forward slash to the end of the IPTV Portal = http://p2.iptvprivateserver.ru/[/code]


I had missed that tiny forward slash and it just wouldn't connect.


However now I seem to have a new problem. Only a few of the channels are loading up and playing. Most all of them won't load up and play at all.

Btw, I am using xtream code login (XC API). Using this login I input my portal info and both login and password which is my donation number. As I had used previously. This setting always seemed to work.

Any idea why I wouldn't be receiving mostly any of the channels?


Also, I believe my previous donation expired over 30 months ago. I use papiao to check the status and wasn't able to even login using my old donation info. Now using the new donation info, i'm able to log into papiao and confirm the status is now active under the new donation info.

I tried changing portal and even tried without any mac address under papiao.

[addicted]

Hello again, still trying to figure out why I'm only able to view just a few channels (like 3 at most) while most of the others won't work.


Could my previous mac address still be associated with my old donation like you mentioned?


I don't have access to my old info. I'm not able to login into papiao using my old donation info. So if my mac is still associated with my old donation info, I wouldn't be able to remove this.


Any admins here that can check on this for me please?

[crazed 9.6]

Have you been able to use that MAC since ?
If you have then it no longer is associated with the old code.
And where are you getting this MAC from ?
I do not think you need the MAC attached when using that Player (as previously mentioned), at least not when connecting thru the xc or m3u methods... so that should not be the problem.

What channels are you getting ?
Some channels will work without connecting to server, as they are 'free' channels / open channels.

[addicted]

Since I received my new donation I haven't been able to get this to work.


Prior to my expiration everything worked perfect. I was receiving every channel using implayer. I let the service expire and wasn't able to log onto papio anymore using my previous donation info. So I purchased a new donation and can't seem to get this to play much of anything anymore.


By the way, I'm using the Nvidia shield pro. It's the mac address on my device.


Through iMplayer, everything looks OK. I'm able to view subscription info through implayer and it also shows active. But when I go try to view live tv it doesn't work.

I noticed the channels I'm able to view are "aljazeer HD" and the weather channel. :(

I know there was another channel I received but that's about all I see. Perhaps like you said these are free channels.


I'm not sure what's causing this to happen. Would you be able to view my previous info through my mac address? Or if I provided you with any other info?

[crazed 9.6]

yes, those are open channels.

I sent you a private message about your code.

[addicted]

Thanks crazed. Info Sent...

[crazed 9.6]

I see you have the nvida MAC attached to your code. That will not work, so delete that and leave the MAC blank at the papiao website.

Check your messages for full directions :)

cool :)

I been trying to load the IMPlayer apk file so I could test all this, but keep getting Phrasing errors with every version I have tried to install :eek:
This Player does look good in the videos I have seen. It has XC/API and m3u connection options and also there is a MAC option too, which seems to be in Beta currently.
There is free version (which is the one that seems to come up with phrasing errors everytime) and there is also premium (paid) version.

[crazed 9.6]

Thanks crazed. Info Sent...

I got your message with the info about the Downloader app and the troypoint location with the iMPlayer ,,, thnx :)
It worked fantastic and have the iMPlayer now installed on my device. I see right at the start up of the Player it allows you to choose a 'Theme'.
I see the Dreamlink theme or Formuler and 5 others are there as choices :cool:

So, away I go with some testing.... I will let you know results.
First thing would be to try Shooty's last suggestion with adding the port to the URL address

[crazed 9.6]

well I am not having too much success with this.
I tried the URL as is and also tried with the port added at the end and also with the port and with slash c slash added.
:80/
:80/c/

but they did not work.

The open channels are the only ones working work.
And EPG loaded okay.

So then I entered another working code with URL and now the iMPlayer is giving me Error that links are incorrect or internet is down. That happens now with your code as well.
I did delete each code after testing and create a new slot. I had to do that as the free version allows only one slot/portal to be used at one time.
So I did that correctly but still getting the error ever since I tried my code :eek:

I will need wait till you see my message that says to ensure its off at your end, before I continue with any testing.

This iMPlayer seems to be an okay Player but it's a bit glitchy when moving around the channel menus and categories and etc ... could be because its the free version thou.

[addicted]

Hello, thanks for all your help.


Sorry was away for a moment. I'm back now. I tried adding :80/ as shooty suggested and like you, that didn't seem to help. Still nothing playing.


Except for those few open channels that play.. :\


When entering the portal url I learned that you have to use "http://" or it will generate an error. The same with having to use the forward slash at the end. Without that forward slash "/", it will also create an error.



Using this IPTV portal "http://p2.iptvprivateserver.ru/" seems to be the correct format for implayer. The guide will then download and load up well however none of the channels will play. Except of course for those open channels.


implayer is completely turned off on my nvidia shield pro. I can also log out of my internet based implayer dashboard if this makes any difference.

Do I want to also shut down the nvidia shield pro or just the implayer and log off their website?

[duhhud]

try hxxp://p2.iptvprivateserver.ru/c/ xx should be tt

[crazed 9.6]

I have not yet tried that combination duhud, but I will thnx:)

There may be something wrong with the code as it is not working on VLC Player either.


Still running a couple more tests thou.

So after some more investigation, I can see a few points of confusion...,
- Since you mentioned you have an account for the implayer apps, (as you said you are on your dashboard, above), using this system requires you to add the MAC# from the player app, into your account.

* This MAC# is not the same as a MAC# to login to the iptv service.
** This app does not provide MAC authentication to the Servers. Only XC api or m3u playlist URL's.

- This app has a "Sync" function that if enabled, will copy login/playlist info across multiple devices, so I do not know the implications this may cause.
- You mentioned your old donation used a MAC, so I do not know what you are referring to as this app does not use MAC auth.

*> Make sure you do not have a MAC on your donation account info.
*> Use the URL format as I noted previously for the server login and enter your donation in both user/ password field, *( set the apps login screen to use XC api ).
*Make sure that dashboard system is not causing a problem*

here is some info from the dashboard setup info;

How to add my device to the account:

After you activating the premium subscription in your account, you can start adding devices to your account and that way activating the premium features of the app in these devices.


Here is a little guide on how to add a new device to your account:


The app will show you a MAC ID combined of numbers and letters, you need to insert this MAC ID in the device field and click on "Add Mac Address" (you will have this option AFTER activating premium subscription)
Device MAC ID is case sensetive, make sure to insert the MAC ID exactly how to app shows you, same letters, same numbers and with ":"
Once the device as been added you can restart the app in your device and premium features should be activated


***************
Explanation & HOW TO
Current Account Code:


Your account code gives your users an easy method to add their devices to your managed account without you having to do anything, all they have to do is the following:


Make sure to generate a code if you have not done so yet, you can generate and change the code as many times as you want.
All the user have to do is to go into the official iMPlayer app in his Android TV device, then in the playlists manager screen they will have a "Provider Code" button, where they will ask to insert that code.
Once the code was inserted correctly, their device will restart automatically and will be managed by your account as mentioned below.


Introduction


Devices management feature will give you the option to control your devices running iMPlayer remotely, including playlists & settings (for more details see below).


This feature is a BETA feature and FREE for the moment, please note iMPlayer reserves the right to change/modify it at any time without any notice.
Important to Notice:


Once you choose to manage a device, this specific device will no longer sync with other devices if the sync option is on.
Enabling management for a device means all of the playlists and most of the settings will be deleted.
For the first time after activating device management for a device it's important to restart the app in the designited device in order for the app to change to "management mode" instead of the normal mode in that device.
Any change to a device settings, playlists or vod sources is being applied in real time to the designited device, there is no need to restart the app on that device in order for changes to apply.


What's Supported?


You can completely manage the device playlists (Api & M3U alike)
General device wide settings
VOD & TV Series sources
Parental Control settings
Rebranding Settings: app logo, xc portal, stalker portal, app descriptions and more

I have extensively tested addicted's code and in my tests I found out that it will not even open on VLC or Perfect Player or any other Player that I tried with the m3u method. (I tried a few others), and without a MAC attached to the code.. but would not open the channels.

The new code nor the old code has a MAC attached to it.

So then I attached a MAC from my T3 box onto his code and tried that and it connected fine and all channels worked.

So conclusion was that MAC method works with addicted's code but the m3u method does notwork with addicted's code for some reason.

When I tried addicted's code on VLC and other Players, I also tried mine on same Players just to ensure it was working and mine opened channels but his did not.


The iMPlayer I am using is the free version.
And what I found out this morning is that I can connect with my MAC on that Player.
There is an option for a MAC Portal on that Player (Stalker/MAG)
I tried a few times with adding the Player's MAC ID (with Stalker prefix) and the server URL and tried different combinations till I finally got the right one and it connected and channels working.

URL like this --> hxxp://p2.iptvprivateserver.ru:80/c/ (xx = tt)
MAC like this --> 2c:76:a8:aa:1d:ee (example only)

Enter that MAC at papiao site and also you have to enter it in the portal setup too. Reset at papiao site

So I tested that with my code which worked .... and so I sent addicted a message to try it with his code.



Those points you made Shooty are or probably are relevant for addicted .... as he does have the premium version while I was only testing with free version.

[crazed 9.6]

received word today that addicted managed to get his Player working thru MAC option

[addicted]

Yes, thank you so much crazed 9.6 for all your dedicated attention back and forth working on the side to figure this all out.

And thank you shooty for all your helpful information.


My setup is now working as long as I'm using the portal server and mac address. Which is far better than nothing working at all.

However I still believe their is something wrong with my donation code as I should have also been able to run this using the portal server with username and password method.

I'm still not able to use a hardcopy m3u playlist. Tried loading it up through vlc player and only the free open channels work.

I did message papioa but still waiting for a reply...

[crazed 9.6]

It is an old player few update as time passes everything working at 100% api, xc mac I do not say more it can be a hack hahahahahahahahaha
ps many like this player are free why pay for a player when you also pay for a ch list hahaha wow is this a hack? hahahahahahah

as it stands right now, if addicted did not have access to that Player which has a MAC option,he would not have any channels.
Most Players if not all Players that I have ever seen do not allow a connection like this (the MAC connection).
Read thru what the circumstances are.His code does not work thru API or XC login.His code does not work thru any and every Player tried. except that iMPlayer.
So in order for to get his code working, it's either use that iMPlayer or go out and purchase a new iptv device that allows a MAC connection (like a Dreamlink or Buzz box).

Would I put money towards a program or Player ?
No I would not ... but I have access to many iptv boxes and other things, so I would never have the need.

Suport, your sarcasm is getting old.
I explained very clearly why certain topics are not to be posted or discussed here at iptvTalk.

I sent about three messages and not one reply back. I tried using this method of contact noted below;



Is this not the correct info? Is there an alternate method of contact that may be more suitable or dependable?

probably because they see that it has been connected seen thru a mac connection or other. So to them it is nothing they can do. Its an error between user or ISP or GEO related.
That is how they would see this and is why you'd get no response to your inquiry thru email.
So...
The only way forward concerning emailing the service is to be tactful.. even in the email Subject title.
Be clear in your explanation, remember that the administration may not speak the same first language as you. So be clear.

But , as they would see it, it would be looked at as a ISP or Geo area or etc issue ...and to get a response to that from them is hoping for alot.


Portal change and resets and country locks can be done by client

[addicted]

Gez, you would think they would at least write back and say something like that as opposed to the silent treatment. We believe the trouble is from your ISP, etc etc.


I just checked my donation email and for the first time noticed this this message at the bottom of the email;

For support and setup instructions please visit our IPTV forum iptvzeta.is


Heh, is this their site?

lol... yea that zeta site is our freind's site. comes with same support
Papiao comes in many forms.

What they are telling you is basically what I have said.
They have no expectations in instructing clients on the points of ISP or other related issues. They have other things to be dealt with. And so is prove in their redirecting to a support forum.

Not my thoughts, I am only trying to explain things :)

[addicted]

OK.. sounds like iptvzeta.is is not going to offer much more support than what I already received here..


I sent another message through that papaio contact link. I also found this email ------> ] and sent a direct message there as well. Hopefully somebody will get in touch with me before the donation expires on April 26, 2022.. ;)

[addicted]

So finally received a reply today. This is what it said;


"Hi.

We did an IPTV reset to your account, please reboot your device or application and try again. If the problem persist or you need help with the setup please visit our support forum:

I wanted to pull out my hair.. heh. An IPTV Reset? Gez, I was hoping for more than just that which I'm able to do myself and have done so many times I lost count.

I suppose I'll start a new thread over at iptvzeta and hope somebody can fix the part where I can't use API or XC login. :\



Crazed, you been incredibly helpful throughout all this. I'm truly thankful to your enduring commitment.

[crazed 9.6]

this is puzzling for sure.
As you know I did try your code here and I got same results.
Did you mention that to papiao administration ?

[addicted]

Yes, I mention this website to them in my message to the papiao staff and also noted how I received your help. Isn't the papiao staff familiar with this site?


I just sent them another message in reply to their message about just doing the IPTV Reset. Again I mentioned how I received help from here and it was determined that the donation code is not working correctly as I can't use any playlist through API or XC login...

I requested for a new donation code and asked them to also test the code they sent me so they can see themselves how it's not working correctly.


Hoping for a better response.. :\

[Tha Joker]

Did you already try generating a new donation with the donation checker? Sorry if I missed that here in this thread.

[Bkman2020]

If your donation works with other apps and have issues with just implayer then u need to contact implayer dev via discord or reddit

[crazed 9.6]

I tested addicted's code and it works with any Player that allows a MAC connection. That includes an iptv box such as a dreamlink or any other iptv box with MAC connection abilities.
It connected fine if using a MAC attached, but once I un-attach the MAC and try using the code thru an m3u Playlist method then that's where the issue comes. Does not matter on what device or Player I tried, using an m3u playlist URL or .m3u Playlist file (hardcopy), it would not work.
All thou using another code from same service I can use any method just fine, so that counts out VPN is what I was thinking, which is why I never mentioned VPN ... but :eek:

I think that is how things went, it's been a couple weeks since i did the tests.

[Tha Joker]

Was a new donation generated to rule that out? Worth a shot.
