IPTV Simple Client not working

[JKryten]

So, is there a reason I can no longer use the IPTV simple client? It worked fine during the trial but since things went private I can't seem to get it to work. IPTV Stalker works fine and the PVR client fetches the channels fine but when I try and watch them from Live TV the channels always fail. It says working but then just stops. There is no error message, just can't play the channels. Any ideas? I really like the live setup better than iVue or FTV/guide, etc. thanks in advance.

Have you donated?

Yes. And everything is working fine with IPTV Stalker just not IPTV Simple Client. Loads channels, shows in EPG it just won't play them. It doesn't give me any errors.

To use iptv simple client you need to turn stalker client off and then go to system and under TV toggle enable off and then back on. That works for me. But when you need stalker you need to reverse the process.

its either simple client or iptv stalker cant have both running at the same time

to make sure i understand..toggle TV off < when using stalker?

[JKryten]

I'm using the IPTV Stalker addon not the client. The IPTV Stalker addon has a M3u server built in and IPTV Simple client looks at that for it's list. And if I've not mistaken, it then to loads channels through the IPTV Stalker m3u server but now it just won't do that. I have tried turning the server part off and then on (repeatedly) and have run in both states.

Works for me.

On IPTV Stalker, is M3U server on? Did you try start/stop/start? Is the port 8899?

In PVR Simple, is the path "remote" and using "http://localhost:8899/channels.html?portal=1"

Make sure you Clear data for TV. I'm on Kodi 15.1 RC, stock PVR Simple, and IPTV Stalker (1.0.18)

[JKryten]

Of course the settings are all correct and the m3u server is on. All of the normal checks have been made. The one difference is that I am using 14.2. I don't care much for RCs.

Kodi 15.0 is a minor release, so maybe it would be a good idea to upgrade, or wait until 15.1 is stable. 16 is supposed to be a major release. I don't mess with betas myself.

I'm wondering, do you have any local port blockers , or firewall settings to be set?

not exactly the same but my post in EPG topic is related to this.

Tia1 if theres an updated version to what your using now xbmc/kodi which i believe is 15 your well within your own rites to stick with what you want but you will find along with upgraded versions the addons also recieve updates and what dara says happens all the time a person gets used to a certain setup and doesnt update then may wonder why addons stop working and in their setup nothing has changed looking at the fact 14.2 compared to the releases so far your running an old almost version of xbmc/kodi

I'm having this same problem on an Android box.

PVR IPTV Simple client isn't recognizing channels. My TV section tab will not show as a result. I've donated and updated my MAC address.

there is a thread here some where where it say you can use hxxp://127.0.0.1:8899/channels.html?portal=1 this is for iptv simple under general m3u url the logo is still the same hxxp://is.gd/NFPSE OR F
i have it this way on pc firestick and android phone no problem for those that are new here hope you know what to do with the xx
enjoy.

Why don't you try PVR Stalker instead. But make sure you change you MAC and do not use iVue or Stalker Client for the time being. Also make sure you have not enabled the sending of the SR# in the Stalker Client.
