Android IPTV STB Emulator

[dara]

This topic is for those who want to test the new IPTV services while waiting for a great compromise box. To get this, here is the link for the app on the google play store:


https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vasilchmax

Here is the archive of all but the latest version of the apk:

Specific modifications to run the a server (subject to modification)

- modify the following settings in the STB Emulator:

1) Common settings: App language to English

2) Profiles>Portal
a - STB Model: Select MAG 250
b - Portal Settings: Portal URL to correct server


NFPS: http://11.iptvprivateserver.tv
Rocket: http://11.iptvrocket.tv
IPTV66: http://66.iptv66.tv

c - MAC-address: 00:1A:78:##:##:## changing the # to hexdigits of your last six of your device

- Note1: This MAC has to be associated with your paid donation/rocket/route. If you don't have one of these, this site recommends: http://iptvrocket.is

- Note2: The last six digits are to your choosing, between 0-9, A-F. Be sufficiently random, do not pick obvious sequences like 12:34:56, or 22:22:22. If you do, and are successful, you are liable for someone taking your MAC, and broadcasting it across the internet as a valid number.

- Note3: Visit the following sites to link your MAC


NFPS - https://papiao.is/main/search_nfps
Rocket - https://papiao.is/main/search_rocket
IPTV66 - https://iks66.tv/main/search/



d - Stalker settings, check Play in preview only by OK. (Stops autoplay)

- If you are running the emulator with an Android Emulator, you need to install an external video player within Android and enabling it by selecting external player as the mediaplayer in the 'three-dot' menu in the top far right screen corner. MX player and XMTV player are possible options (XMTV works best for me). If you are running the emulator on an Android box, the external player is recommended if you cant get the VLC plugins or internal player to work properly.

Android Emulators for Windows:
- Bluestacks seems to be the easiest PC program to run the STB emulator. It runs Android applications
but doesn't emulate a true Android environment. You will be asked to add programs to run it for free.

www.bluestacks.com
- Andy also works with the STB emulator. This program requires some more configuration and is a resource hog as it runs a virtual machine in the Windows environment.

Wondered if it could be done on a Mac or other computers, so I did some digging around, but haven't decided to try it yet.

Here is what I've found so far after doing a google on "run android on Mac"

How To Run Android Apps in Chrome on Mac / Linux ...

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/run-android-apps-chrome-mac-linux-windows/

Hack runs Android apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers

Youtube: Run Any Android App Inside Chrome On Any OS (Win , Linux , Mac)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVzohZ3bZN8

Since Macs can run linux, although I haven't done the research yet, I don't see why Macs couldn't run android on Parallels Desktop or other platform emulations. This might workout nicely for media centers.

I hope someone will take this up and report there outcome.

[dara]

I'm having lots of problems running the emulator on my PC using Andy and BlueStacks. The problems are with getting the profiles set up, and with the emulator not correctly syncing to the PC'S android emulator (Andy).

Unless you are venturesome, its not a good solution for a FreeTV type... only for real testers.

[date]

Thank you Dara, it works good here, on the pc I got to exit the emulator everytime I got to go to a different movie. Definitly it's a very good way to install and test the service on any android box or a pc.
I was hoping maybe there is a way to do it on kodi.

[dara]

date, which PC emulator are you using? I can't figure out a keyboard command to access the STB emulator menu. I'm using Windows 8.1, so that may be a problem also.

[munirkk]

yeap very problematic.

[date]

I have downloaded the bluestacks then through it downloaded the stb emulator then from there I have setup the url for the trial and changes the last three set of the mac address on the emulator to anything yo like then exit then re enter now all should be good for you.
Note: don't worry about the model if it says mag from 254-270 models this software will work everywhere it could downloaded.
Thank you for your help.

[date]

Remember each time you need to watch a different movie you got to exit and re enter.:)

[munirkk]

Which stb emulator did you install. is it called andy.
i am successfull with bluestacks.
let me know.

[munirkk]

bluestacks gives and error rpc error when i try to install and app.

[dara]

Which stb emulator did you install. is it called andy.
i am successfull with bluestacks.
let me know.

Bluestacks seems to work best, because it stays on the same tablet aspect, vs. switching to "whatever" like Andy. The STB Emulator will force Andy to go to a "phone" aspect or even upside down, but Andy is more like a real android experience. I'm going to try another emulator called windroy, to see if it works better than bluestacks. I don't like that Bluestacks will force you to install apps that you don't need, but Andy requires that you see ads to use it.

I'm also running the emulator on my "mediabox" android, but it also has some problems with aspect ratios for the application. I can now see why they call the emulator solutions, even on a MAG260, as 'unstable'.

[DarkSide]

same problems here... im using it on a mag 260, and it is very unstable.. it works, but sometimes the movie doesnt play and you have to exit and force quit the emulator or reset the 260...

[scully]

dara ..... get mx player apk and let bluestacks install it

[date]

This problem exists because you need to adjust the resolution and marry it with your tv resolution so both will become compatible to each other, in the profile option click on resolution and make your adjustment accordingly.

[jony604]

date i got bluestacks i am in the app emulator choices witch one do i download can you give us bit more detail
this for PC wd 7 thanks in advance. You are doing a fantastic job helping members !!!!!

[date]

No worry, we learn from each other.
So basically just open the browser inside the bluestacks and type in stb emulator then download it and set it up based on the free trial url by going up right corner and by clicking on fourth option which is on the other side of the rc then just head to the profile option then portal setting apply the url then go to the mac address and change the last three set of your numbers, then adjust your resolution.

[Marley]

really ez they said it would work just not good

[DarkSide]

acutally, i read post elsewhere to download mxplayer.apk which i did for the 260, and the problem is gone!!!! i can now switch between movies, stop a movie and start another without restarting the device.... Runs very stable at this minute!!!

[K00lKatT]

believe it was Scully came up with that...nice catch, Scully..

[jony604]

Thanks date i found it but i don't have an android device to download it unless i am missing something ?
order one of this from eBay coming next few days from china
NewM8 Amlogic S802 Quad Core Android 4.4 Smart TV Box XBMC 4K Miracast/Air Mouse
that i got for a song almost forbidden to mention could this do?

[date]

You can install bluestacks on your pc then the stb emulator. at least until you receive your android box you can do your testing and enjoy the trial service.

[jony604]

it is telling me your device is not compatible for this app i am going to try it on anther computer right now

[date]

First install the bluestacks on your pc.

sum of us r still waiting to hear which emulator to use... it(bluestacks) opens to a list of programs & none r "stb emulator".. also dl MXPlayer apk. can'f open from bluestacks...

[dara]

You have to fetch the STB Emulator and the MX Player from the play store. Click on Search, and type in Set-Top-Box and it should start the play store app, where you can download it from there. Bluestacks isn't a real emulator for Android, but allows you to play android apps. I can't get Andy (another PC Android emulator) to work properly with the STB Emulator, just don't bother with that.

[date]

AS Dara said very thankfully just open the browser inside the bluestacks and just type in stb emulator after you install it go to your browser and type again apptiod and install it then open apptoid or play store and type in mx player and install it then just follow previous posts to change the url and the mac address along with the resolution in your stb emulator, now exit and renter and all should be good to go.

[jony604]

thanks dara and date will give it another try , did not work last night

[radar]

Got all installed on my laptop last night, and all worked well. So far I can't get it to work this AM. Bluestacks and STB Emulator start up, but I just get a blank screen on the emulator. I'll keep playing with it.

[radar]

Clicked around and got it going again, not sure yet what I did. I'll post more if I find out anything useful

[Buz 1]

the thing no1 has mentioned is that there r @ least 6 different versions of mxplayer @ the play store,, & they're all a little different. none of them will show me any kind portal , or profile settings.. i tried them all over & over again. also,, no1 mentioned what version of bluestacks( i believe there r @ least 3..... some 1 mentioned there being 'sliders along the upper left side of the screen that would open up as i dragged it down, but no list of any kind... just the date.. & the settings menu on right upper side do nothing but help with setting preferences...

[radar]

You don't enter info into MX player. The portal is in the stb emulator. Also, in the emulator settings, (3 dots top right) you can set external player so you can use MX player.

[radar]

Blue stacks to run apps on a PC, stb emulator app to mimic a mag 254, MX player may be needed if videodoesnot play direct in emulator. My Android box didn't need blue stacks but it did need MX player

No worry I will make simple easy for you, Just open your browser and go to this site and download this bluestacks:


http://www.bluestacks.com/?gclid=CPL9p6OUh8MCFWsF7Aod4QgA5w

Then open your bluesatcks on your pc(if on your using an android iptv then no need for bluestacks) then go to browser and type in apptoid then install it then open apptoid and download mxplayer the first one you see there (you do not need to enter anything in the mxplayer, it help things to be played out the right way, then open your browser and type in stb emulater:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vasilchmax&hl=en
Then install it then open your emulator and follow my previous post for setup.

For me, google play search had nothing found.
Typed it in manually and got "this item is not available in your country"

From searching it seems both US and Canada are now blocked.
I did find it elsewhere though and decided to upload it here.
For those that got the same message I did nd couldn't download.
Use at your own risk, because I haven't played with it much.

How to find Mac # on Pc

[date]

The mac number you need to change is the one inside of the stb emulator, click on the top third option then go to profile then the portal you need to modify then down to the mac address then change the last three set of the mac to anything else.

[duiptv]

OK mac changed on the emulator only 1 ch says 455 coming soon correct? So now what lol I click ok and only get black scnreen I have clicked all buttons.

I am testing this on both the jynxbox and my pc using blustacks and andy, as well as my nexus 4 phone to see the difference. I cant get it at all to work on andy at all.

[scully]

If you get to coming soon on the jynxbox then you need to press the back button on the remote twice to get to the vod. You also need to make sure you have mx player installed

[duiptv]

Perfect thank you so much Got this going on the jynx. now to get the others see what I can see lol

[jr33]

guys, ive got it working but for some reason I'm getting a lot of stopping and freezing...would anybody know what I could be missing?...Ive also installed the mx player, do I need to adjust anything with it to make the emulator run smoother?...thanks for any help.

[jr33]

Anybody have any ideas?...just to add, the VOD section works fine...seems to be only the live TV part of the set up.

[radar]

you downloading from app store?

[date]

Install apptoid and install MXplayer from the apptoid.

[radar]

The STB emulator works fine for the test, will it also work when the test is over and the full paid system is released? Im not opposed to paying for another box, Im more concerned about one more box & one more cable & one more remote...., things are pretty cluttered already. Partly my fault, always buying more toys to play with, but it would be nice to cut back somewhere.

[Marley]

that one i cant tell you its wide open now will it work later time will tell but others do if that's any help

[dara]

The key going forward for the emulator is if it can correctly send your validation information (password, MAC, and maybe the serial). I would hope that someone close to the testing will be able to do that for us using a generic analog or PC before users having to pay for it, and to see that it actually doesn't work.

[dara]

Updated the #2 post with a link to a video to install, courtesy from the NFPS support site. You can't make this any easier to do.

c/p NFPS

we are planning to implement 2 authentication methods:

- MAC Address
- Username and Password, the same donation number for both like we do for IKS.

-we have done several tests using the same MAC address in more than one box and the second one will receive a bad authentication error message.

[Marley]

thats good news because you can change mac address like socks

[dara]

I just was able to get the STB emulator to work with the other android emulator, called "Andy". Initially it didn't work, as the STB emulator didn't keep the proper aspect (landscape). After installing the MX player, and setting the STB emulator for "External Player", the STB emulator worked just like in BlueStacks. I personally like the Andy interface as it is more close to the Android experience than BlueStacks, and per the website, there might be support for the Apple Mac users out there. I updated the #2 post for the link to Andy.

[dara]

xmtv also works as an external player. You may want to try that out if the mx player doesn't work well for you.

[gregm]

I get the same message from time to time even on my android box using the emulation. It could be the server.

[dara]

Current testing with the PC/STB Emulation is not currently good with live channels, using either Andy/Bluestacks, and MX Player/xmtv, since the addition of new channels.

[jaba]

Hi how you all doing have MX box install emulation software but when open video upside down can someone help me please.

THANK

[dara]

Make sure you have selected 'external player' for Mediaplayer from the three dot menu to the right of the RC menu, and restart both android and stb emulators. You have to click to the right of the RC to see the three dot menu.

[BIO]

Your whole screen upside down, emulator upside down, or just the video when it's playing?

[dara]

For the Live Channels, my best combination for the STB Emulator on my Windows 8.1 is using BlueStacks with the xmtv video player. For some reason, mx player can't hold a connection on BlueStacks or Andy, and with Andy, the audio sync is way off using xmtv (bearable in BlueStacks). Audio sync is fine for the VOD channels for either Android emulator or video player. Also on Andy, the "Play in preview only by OK" doesn't seem to work in the latest version of the STB Emulator, but does fine with BlueStacks.

[jetta]

Hi how you all doing have MX box install emulation software but when open video upside down can someone help me please.

While the screen is upside down navigate with a mouse to the bottom left corner and click your mouse till you see an option to choose external player choose that option and reboot emulator and you should then see the screen right side up...hope this helps

Hi again now i am having this problem coming up saying authentication problem and cant get CH can you help please i am new to this system.

Thank

[gregm]

did you change the last 3 sets of numbers on your mac address as is required?

[dara]

For those who are getting "Link can not be played" for live channels, the issue may be in the settings of MX Player, as the emulator may not access H/W decoding for PCs for the video player. In settings for MX, go to Decoder and check the S/W decoder on for network (Local if you play videos from your own library).

[jetta]

Hi again now i am having this problem coming up saying authentication problem and cant get CH can you help please i am new to this system.

Thank

Give me an idea of what you have done since getting the screen right side up and I can maybe talk you through the next stages....

[Jadaca]

that is odd. I am running the stb emulator on my computer and for the last 2 days it says this video cannot be played. I am using mx player.....i tried changing the setting that were suggested earlier (s/w network) but it did not work. I am wondering if everyone is using mx player or are you using any other players.

secondly is the system up and running for everyone. I am wondering if i am getting that message because they are updating something or working out any bugs?

[gregm]

they are down for me,but,vod is working good

[Jadaca]

i didn't even think of checking vod. channels are down for me but like you the VOD's are working.

what box are you using it with? if the mx player doesnt work, there are other media players that work

I have setup everything following a guide here.
I'm using Bluestacks with stb emu +mx player. I can get into the the emu just fine and see the channel list but when i click to view the channel MX will either Crash or simply say "cannot open link". same happens with the VOD. I am certain that its an MX issue but i have no idea what i could to do correct it.

[dara]

Make sure S/W decoding is enabled for the MX player.

[superiorfox]

Make sure S/W decoding is enabled for the MX player.

yes i have that setup as well; still all i get when i select a channel is "Can't play this link" usually after two or 3 channel trys it will say. Unfortunately, MX Player has stopped.

Could it have something to due with my version?. Im running the latest version mx player.

[dara]

I'm on the latest versions of BlueStacks and MX player, as well as the STB Emulator, and have no issues, other when the service isn't up. You might want to try the XMTV player. And, if all else fails, try clearing data from the STB Emulator and MX player, or even uninstall and reinstall, or doing a reinstall of BlueStacks.

you have to name it
change ip address
change last 3 digits of mac address
and serial number as well don't know if that is required I did it any way

For me, I only changed the last digit of the Mac and left the serial number all 0's..
Change the Mac to 00:1a:79:00:00:09

[Bluefly]

I have been playing around with this emulator as well... I did not touch the serial number or the IP address, the MAC has to be changed. It took me a couple of tries to get one that would work. I just changed the last three groups of numbers. Don't forget that a MAC can only include 0-9, or A-F...

I just tried the emulator from post one (it's now ver 5.23) on my CS 918 android box and I get an error message "privateserver not found "

I would check what you put in the portal settings. You get that error if you either misspelled the url, or if your router/DNS is not resolving the url properly (like .com vs. .tv, for example.). You can leave off the "http://" as that isn't required. The correct url for now is "1.iptvprivateserver.tv" , without the quotation marks.

[Pedro49]

Thanks dara , I get the same result with or without the http://

Also change the last three set of the Mac address.

[Pedro49]

I think I need to go to "spec-savers" , I checked my typing in the URL and found I had made a mistake ......doh

Thanks to all for your help .

Is it possible to do away with the overlay key controls ?

Using the link I posted on the OP/post #1, I'm able to get to it. You might want to try a free vpn to fake out Google Play, it might be a Canada thing. You do have to log on with your google account to get the device seen by the store, I think that's obvious though.

[dara]

Testing the new version of the emulator, and it seems like it can play live tv channels in the preview window with the VLC or Internal player. YMMV, the external player option still seems smoother.

once the test is over. can a paid code work with this emulator???

Hi guys,

I've been playing around with this emulator with Windows 7 and I'm having trouble. Just for your info, I have installed this version of the emulator stbemu-googleplay-release-0.5.21 with MX PLAYER 1.7.37 and xmtv as well.

To give a small resume of what I've done: Installed Bluestacks with success and installed the emulator with MX player. Configured server, MAC and resolution and configured MX player with all boxes checked under decoder SW and HW (tried different settings after fooled around a lot). Then, I chose external player in the EMU.

I played with the settings of mx player a lot because the only thing I got going on the screen was the blue bar with nothing happening on the VOD side and for Live channels, when pressing a channel, I got either if the link was unable to play message or the screen goes back to the channel list. So, nothing works.

Then, I read many thread pages here and there and I noticed people are saying to try different players.

So, I tried internal player: nothing is happening ob both VOD and Live channels.
Then, I tried VLC multimedia plugin (which gave me a strange screen resolution, as if everything was showing in the low part of my screen, i.e. see picture : http://i.imgur.com/0MUB3HS.jpg ) but I got it working for the Live channels but then freezes on the first channel and I can't do anything after besides exiting the program. It also did not work for the VOD.
Then, I tried xmtv player and got it working for the VOD but no go for the live channels, where it says that is connecting but cannot play the channel.

So, I'm out of solutions here, any clues?

[dara]

@PVRUser, I think you did all that is reasonable. The latest version of the emulator is now .25, but you can get .24 from the link on the first post of the thread. I would uninstall BlueStacks completely, then try again using the updated version of the emulator and mx player. Your settings are correct because you are connecting to the server but don't over-configure the settings from stock on the emu (just change the server and the MAC address, and ensure you are emulating a MAG 250).

[futbol_fever]

So I upgraded from .22 to .24 so I can stop the auto preview in the emulator ..but it now it doesn't work properly at all ..I used mx player and I get the video but no audio (i tried using the AIO audio codecs still nothing) ...what is the mx player settings? Also when I click back it no longer goes back to channel list ...it reboots entire emulator how do I stop this? I want to go back to channel list ...thanks

Hi dara,

Just to let you know that with the emulator version 0.24 it now works perfectly with xmtv player on both VOD and Live channels. I did not have to uninstall Bluestacks, I just tried it out with the new emu first and it worked out of the block! Thanks for your help, it's very apreciated.

Would you have any idea how to remove the parental lock permanently for the adults channels? I know the code is 0000 but I'd like to get rid of all these. I know how to achieve this on my MAG254 but not with the emu? Is that possible with the emu?

[dara]

We're stuck with the parental lock for now on the emulator, its set up at the server. Sorry.

On your mx player settings for decoder, make sure you have s/w checked for network.

I have played with the bluestack emulator on pc 7 for so long for the live ch Days at a time players vlc /internal/ mx /xmtv and more that i tested hopping they work i am loosing hope though. on the other hand the vod works fine just pick you player, bluestacks is a pain though. Channels do work most of them on kodi stalker very well!!!!!! done thank you MR !!! dvbken !!! love it click and play if not move on to the next ch sure there are some channels that don't show from iptv and some that dont play but is 99% better than bluestacks max 2 live ch on a PC that is. Not complaining just stating facts from the users point of view.

[dara]

Here's a tip to stop the emulator from 'Auto Playing' a channel when scrolling through the list. The key is to first set the emulator's Mediaplayer to use the Internal Player, then set the Profile>Stalker Settings to 'Play in preview only by OK' (Check the box). You then exit the emulator and restart it, then select a channel. If you get the little triangle next to the channel number, then you have stopped the auto play. You can then change the mediaplayer to external if you can't get the internal player to work consistently. When you first start the emulator, it will automatically play what ever the first channel is set, but after that, you should be able to escape back to the channel listing, and scroll through the list without having the emulator play a channel when you slow or stop.

What's new:
* Stalker settings now working (not all of them).
* Loading bar now doesn't appear over a video in fullscreen mode.

[dara]

Be very careful with the pre-release .28. It works, and the "stalker settings" does work, but the portal settngs are not visible... its all combined in the non-visible 3-dot settings. I had to unistall .28 to get this version to install (backed it up of course), then figured out how to get it out of the Cyrillic alphabet. Lost the 'autoplay' disable, made it work after re-enabling the external player, as the internal player does not work at all in this pre-release (video not visible, only audio for about a second).

Edit: internal player doesn't work on my Andy Emu/STB Emu setup... just clarifying. I just rolled back to .27, it didn't work there, either, but I know it does on my android box.

jony uninstall the mx player and reinstall it, now immediately after you install it open it and right the version number of the APK mx player you get asked the first time you open the mx player and install it either from the play store or the aptoide, after that go again to mx player setting and then decoder and enable or check H/W+ now all should be good for you.

[jony604]

Thanks Date i unchecked some boxes in the decoder menu and i am getting most ch
i will play a bit more later taking the wife for happy hour is there a way to change the channel up or down
with out having to stop and go to list and play like clik clik to the next ch

[date]

To be honest with you all I do is I check the few first options in mx player H/W+ and all works good here, also the APK version needed to be installed.
Great selection of channels with the iptv and wonderful project.

I have looked everywhere to try to find an answer to this question. How can you get the blue loading bar to disappear while watching a movie in the stalker stb emulator?

in-order to get the blue bar to disappear,you have to use an external player. it works on the gbox very well using external video player and the blue bar is gone. i use the recommended player,but,it also works using the player that comes already installed on the gbox midnight mx2.

Update the STBemu or change to an external player. The author fixed this.

To be honest with you Dara I have never faced this problem on any movie but yes I have it on some of the channels although I though it's due to the streaming process but once again on a very minimal amount of channels which makes it very insignificant to monition even.

Newer version of STBemu now out on Google Play (0.6.03). He added an app button to the RC menu, which will allow individual locking and unlocking of a channel with a passcode. Example, you don't have to re-enter '0000' when you go to an adult channel with that lock next to it.

* Added "App" remote control key into menu->RC
* Added ability to set maximum simultaneous connections limit to a server.

To make the emulator work with NFPS service you can now set maximum simultaneous connections limit to a portal. Open portal settings->Additional settings, then check "Set maximum simultaneous connections limit". After that you have to either set your own values into fields "Generic requests" (html/css/javascript/images, etc) and "AJAX requests" (they are separated because of emulation features), or leave default values ("5"). For me the default values work good with NFPS, but if the portal still doesn't work correctly, try to decrease values (or at least "Generic requests").
After you made all changes reload your portal from menu.

I updated to the latest pro version via the playstore and it fixed the problem with the test where it would load but you couldn't select anything, only the menu button would work. All works fine now with mx player. What is Andy?

[dara]

Andy is another android emulator for the PC. I prefer that over Bluestacks as it's closer to the real android experience, but it needs more care and feeding (resources) than Bluestacks.

Dara wonderful job, thank you.

Andy is a trouble maker, I have installed it on my pc and almost it crashed the os for me, I would say stay away from it.
STB-emu is the way to go, it works like a charm, I also see the EPG, no freezes not even a single glitch.

If you follow the tutorial in post #2, this will work. If you are on a black screen, try reloading the portal, by getting to the settings menu, select profile, and click on the profile that you properly set up. There are four possible outcomes... you connect, you get a 'STB Blocked by Provider' (bad MAC), or "network error" (portal url is not correct), or the Sales page (You aren't using the new url).

[dara]

Would anyone recommend installing an STB Emulator onto a generic Android TV box? How good is the experience, is it worth just buying a MAG instead?

Emulators work fine on generic android boxes. My belief is that the MAG severely limits your options, but is fine for those who don't want to mess with installing and configuring apps. The emulator does work fine on android boxes, but you still need to configure it properly. I think it's an intermediary step, because Kodi gives you the most flexibility beyond running the service, but you will need to overcome a learning curve.

with internal or vlc with internal plug in you can change channels directly from player.....
so you don't need to go back in menu every time you change channel...

I am using STBemu v 6.0.16 & I got it working with the instructions below:

INSTRUCTIONS TO USE CUSTOM DEVICE ID on STB EMULATOR, Rather than a LONG one that is generated.

1 start STB emulator
2 press Menu button - Settings - Profile
3 Create your appropriate server Profile name (NFPS/ROCKET/IK66)
4 Open that profile and enter the Proper URL of the server in "PORTAL URL" under "PORTAL Settings"
5 Enter your MAC Address (00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX) (Replace XX with your proper number/letter!)
6 Enter a Serial Number (any 13 digits and then select OK to save)
7 select Device ID :
A) Make sure first option "Use MAC-BASED DEVICE ID" is Unchecked
B) Scroll to "DEVICE ID" and enter any set of numbers and letters (I used a 23 character long ID with number and letters, you may be able to use shorter or longer (Not 100% sure!))
C) Make sure "SEND DEVICE ID" is checked

8 press return button on your remote to STB emulator main page
9 press Menu button and exit STB emulator
10 Restart STB emulator and the portal should load all the programming

*If it still gives error, Change your MAC Address to a random address and then Change it back to your real one, then restart STB emulator and it should work.

** If you use another device with same MAC, copy the SAME "mac" & "serial number" & "device id" into the settings of that device and then both will work (one at a time of course)

Enjoy

5 Enter your MAC Address (00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX) (Replace XX with your proper number/letter!)
6 Enter a Serial Number (any 13 digits and then select OK to save)
7 select Device ID :
A) Make sure first option "Use MAC-BASED DEVICE ID" is Unchecked
B) Scroll to "DEVICE ID" and enter any set of numbers and letters (I used a 23 character long ID with number and letters, you may be able to use shorter or longer (Not 100% sure!))
C) Make sure "SEND DEVICE ID" is checked

8 press return button on your remote to STB emulator main page
9 press Menu button and exit STB emulator
10 Restart STB emulator and the portal should load all the programming

*If it still gives error, Change your MAC Address to a random address and then Change it back to your real one, then restart STB emulator and it should work.

** If you use another device with same MAC, copy the SAME "mac" & "serial number" & "device id" into the settings of that device and then both will work (one at a time of course)

Enjoy

I guess I was too early to verify that same device ID can be used in STB Emulator and another app (like IPTV STALKER in kodi), but turns out "IT DOES NOT WORK" that way, IF you register the device ID using stb emulator it will only work in stb emulator and vice versa.

Has anyone gotten same settings to work in both STB EMULATOR app & IPTV Stalker on kodi ? (using same credentials i mean, like same MAC & Serial number) ?? Really would love to switch between these two apps on my box, but currently I am only able to get one working (Which ever I activate first using new MAC). ?

Running an M8, with kodi 15.2 stalker pvr 8.3 or 8. 4 , cant remember right now, using stb 6.16, using the mac i originally signed up with, made Up serial # etc, stb and, stalker have the same settings, both work fine, i really dont get changing mac and all, and i am using 78: in the mac address, i used the same instructions for the stb, except i did not change the mac, how ever it took 4 or 5 trys, and what made it work, was i unplugged the box for a few mins.

[jrn8265]

APUN, awesome information!

I am a new user with a new donation. I entered my 78 number into my STB emulator software on my Chinese Android M8 and the service is working well.

BUT.....

I did not generate any Serial or Device ID's or check the Send DEVICE ID info. I used all defaults on the profile. Yet it still works. If you were me would you let this go since it is working or proceed with adding\changing serial and Device ID and send button check?

My concern is, of course, that it stops working at some point! Thanks much!

I do have the same settings in both STB Emulator and IPTV Stalker, on IPTV STALKER (and pvr stalker 0.8.3) there is place to enter DEVICE ID 2 & SIGNATURE (which do not exist on the STB EMULATOR settings), Device ID1, Serial number & MAC are same on both apps, but what do I enter for Device ID2 and Signature in the iptv stalker? Currently only STB EMULATOR works, iptv stalker says failed authorization, because i had put random number in Device ID 2 and signature, please let me know what you have in these two fields as STB Emulator does not require these two entries. tnx

If this is the only device you will be using then leave it as is (dont fix it if its not broken lol), You only need to create serial number and Device ID if you wanted to make it easier to program another device with same MAC. Also make sure your serial number is not all 0's (default is 13 0's), because that is easier to compromise if your MAC ever got compromised by someone else.

[jrn8265]

Apun, thank you!

I actually use an IPVANISH VPN on this device as well so no one can steal my MAC and it is the only device so all good!

[dara]

If there is something reporting back settings via an installed add-on, a VPN does nothing to hide that sent MAC. The VPN does 'relocate' the destination and creates a secure point-to-point tunnel between you and the source, but it does nothing to stop the actual information from being passed.

I think i just figured out my own problem, to use same MAc on STB EMULATOR and IPTV STALKER (or PVR Stalker client 0.8.3/0.8.4), you must setup STB Emulator first with new MAC adress and a serial number and device ID (instructions are in my post above), then once STB Emulator works.

Now configure IPTV Stalker/PVR Stalker Client in Kodi and enter the same MAC & Serial number that you have in STB Emulator, now you will have 4 more fields to fill (TOKEN, DEVICE ID1, Device ID2 and Signature) in stalker settings, leave "TOKEN" empty and for the other three fields use the "EXACT SAME" Device ID number you have in your STB EMULATOR.

So basically STB EMULATOR DEVICE ID = DEVICE ID1 = DEVICE ID2 = Signature in Stalker settings. This method worked for me and currently I can use STB Emulator & PVR Stalker using the same mac address (again only one at a time).

I start the VPN first then launch just the STB emulator. I know of no situation where a MAC has been stolen when using this method. (No other addons are running or installed and no Kodi is running)

Apun, Thanks! I can confirm this is working on an Amazon Fire TV with a customized 5-character DEVICE ID using numbers and one capital letter.

I have a couple questions for which I couldn't find the answers elsewhere: 1) I've noticed that the VOD movies will stop within 5 minutes, then stop playback with a "cannot play this link" error. Is there a tweak I can make somewhere, or is "Just Me" and no one else is having this problem? FTR, I'm using MX Player. 2) Using MX Player, I can't get a preview on the channel selection screen. Should I try VLC and see if that makes a difference?

Thanks again for the fix!

can anyone upload a screenshot of where to change the device id and serial numbersettings in the stb emulator?

[edwardnizz]

better yet why not just run 2 emulators with the same numbers(one at a time of course)?

[Clowe]

After i did all of this, I am getting error message authentication problem

[hotwarmguy]

After i did all of this, I am getting error message authentication problem

try reset mac address.
you can do it by login papiao site or contact your provider
and make sure click "send device id to..." in Device ID (any older version the 7.11)
if you are using version 7.11 it sends device id info automatically.

[LEAFER9999]

doesnt work tried 10 times and changed mac as well and now wont let me rest as it says cant do more than 3 times per day etc ..

[black-c0depr]

hi, my STB Emulator stuck in loading bar, I do a IPTV Reset and change the MAC. any suggest ? thanks


..________________________________________________ __________

forget about it!..

I did a wipe data to STB Emulator then IPTV Reset , configure the profile in STB emulator and done!

[Sleepy_Eyez]

Hi,
Everything was working perfect. I closed the app to watch kodi, now i get can't connect to network. I don't even get the losing bar.

**things are good now**

But I have a new issue or comment.
Why is STB emulator do slow?

Personally I found it much easier and fluid to navigate on Kodi rather than emulator. But the image quality is better on emulator.

[Klikerko]

Just setup the app on my Nexus Player and I'm getting the "Error" message every time I click "OK" on the login screen. Any idea how to fix it? I've already reset the MAC, SN and ID.

[asteven14]

Dear All.
First of all, thanks for all the information I found on this forum in order to use my android tv properly.
I have an android box with STB emulator installed. Being upset with the internal player, I am now using Mx player and satisfied with it. However, I have one question, Is it possible to change channel while watching a program? or the only way to watch another channel is to exit mx player and select another channel ? I also would like to know if it is possible to record a program with the Stb Emulator. Thanks in advance for your help

[wickedjoker]

When using the MX Player you have to exit to change channels.

Hello, I have the latest version (I use the paid/Pro version), I have setup the portal info/URL and MAC address (for IKE66)... emulator configured to MAG 250, after reloading the portal I get the login box and after entering the user/pass and pressing ok is a stuck loading bar:

I was told to ask here for help instead. Route is confirmed active via IKE66 site.

FWIW, I've just tried with the "official" IKE66 emulator (which seems to be just a hard coded version of this one) and same thing happens.

My device BTW is a Nexus 6P with latest version of 6.0.1

[Marley]

if you update the box to latest software and load the right url and mac address you should be fine most of time it human errors

[NOTORIOUS VR]

If you read my post you would see that I am on the latest version and I have entered the right URL and MAC.

You will also see that I have tried the "official" IPTV EMU for IKE66 where the URL is even hard coded (cannot change) and all I had to do was enter my MAC address. I still get the same issue.

There are no errors on my end, I assure you. The issue is either with my account or with the Emulator itself.

I guess you got it running then?

[Marley]

now if it a mag you use the 79 what they gave you in manual emulator you use the 78

[NOTORIOUS VR]

I guess you got it running then?

Not really, it worked once after trying after another hour or so and I was able to browse all the channels and watch live TV... all without changing a thing.

I then tried later this evening again, without changing anything and I'm back to the loading bar being stuck 1/8th of the way at the beginning.

asft, I'm using a 78 MAC. Again, this is NOT a config issue. It randomly working for me once absolutely confirms this to me.

I currently let it sit at the loading bar thinking maybe it will continue eventually. It's been at the same spot for about 2 hours now.

[pokermasterd]

try resetting your internet connection. last time it sat at loading bar on me that fixed it up real quick

[abboo]

are you being blocked by your ISP?

[djjungly]

Is there any android stb that can run stb emulator without external video player? I am using myGica and in order watch all channel properly I need to activate external player which doesn't allow channel chaning by pressing up or down button. Any box works without external player or I would have to buy mag box?
