Setting up PVR Stalker (Kodi Built-in)

[dara]

If you have an issue with connection problems with this add-on after you have completed the tutorial, please start your own thread in this forum (PVR Clients) Discussion will be about configuration only.

--

This add-on is built into Kodi 15 and above, so there is no official zip files necessary to install.

A customized and simpler NFPS/Rocket/IPTV66 version is now available. See this thread for set-up information.

Dara,

Many thanks for these up to date & easy to follow instructions!

After dozens of attempts I had almost given up on trying to get this to work, but decided to try one last time & am delighted that I did. I changed my MAC address, did a fresh install & came on here just to follow previous instructions & found this newer 'how to guide'.

I realise that this was a work in progress & I for one appreciate all the behind the scenes work that went into it - it's now working flawlessy for me, so thanks a lot for taking the time to post it.

I've just got one suggestion & that is to highlight/bold the text that says there's no need to enter Auth Credentials any more, as no doubt there are others who might have been so used to entering them that they might automatically do so (I had actually entered mine before enabling & only noticed this as I was re-reading your post to make sure I had followed it exactly).

Thanks again!

[mephasor]

Tested everything on the latest Openelec6 beta for Raspberry Pi 2 with the pvr stalker included and everything is working.

Oh ye of little faith! You don't need file links as everything you need is already in Kodi - you just need to configure & install. You don't even need to install The IPTV Stalker Add-On.

Just follow the instructions in the OP.

Does anyone have this problem, while using the pvr stalker addon the picture stutters and freeze. I tested it on the stalker addon and smooth sailing

I seem to have a similar experience with PVR Stalker. IPTV Stalker may have little stuttering, but PVR Stalker freezes bad.

Just installed PVR Stalker, works so much better than IPTV Stalker, awesome:cool:

[siren66]

I want to say thank you to Dara as I have read all the post associated with setting up the EPG and followed a couple of other posts/guides and nothing worked. I was super frustrated until I saw the post above and it worked the first time. How could something so straight forward turn into a quagmire of bad information and wasting time I am sure most of us don't have. I always appreciate all those who post help and guides in the forums as I am no expert and I believe they are trying to help. Thanks to everyone who has the knowledge and skills and who also can write a simple guide like Dara.

[jamierobo27]

you sir are a genius! thank you so much!!

[thewp]

Extra steps I needed to make it work ("Unable to Load Channels"):
1. Use a MAC with a '79' instead of '78' (change on Donation Page) 00:1A:79:XX:XX:XX
2. Change settings.xml (for linux found in /home/user/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/settings.xml) 'connection_timeout' value to '60'.

Then I was able to load the channels. ' Hope this helps someone down the road...

Of course, try the original post first.

[dtvbandit]

Hi folks,

trying to figure out where to find the MAC address. I'm unclear on this step. My M8 has a MAC on the initial load screen. Do I use this one or is there a MAC in kodi that I'm not seeing. Also, if I choose at a later time to switch to a AVOV amd i able to use my same sub? I bought a sub a few days ago and I'm anxious to get this thing up and running.

Many thanks in aadvance.

Please continue to read the tutorials. In short, you link a MAC starting with 00:1A:78, and the last six are hexdigits that are between 0-9, and A-F. You can use the last six digits of the M8'S MAC if you wish. The MAC is linked to your donation number, which is accessed through the appropriate donation checker.

so out of the blue my iptv client has stopped loading channels any ideas every thing is checking out ok think happened right after i got the iptv stalker addon working

[Cub69]

I've been running the pvr.stalker 0.8.3 for a while now and a simple IPTV client. I use IPTV simple client for NFPS, and pvr.stalker for another provider. The issue is that the pvr.stalker client no longer loads the channel. The kodi log indicates there is a mismatch with the Stalker middleware? Is there an updated version anywhere using the latest middleware? I know the provider is working since I also have an AVOV with them and it is working fine. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running OpenElec on an RPI2.

[dara]

There is no public release of an updated PVR Stalker, but you may be able to find source code on github. You may want to try extending the connection timeout in the settings.xml in the userdata/addons_data/pvr.stalker folder.

[Cub69]

Although I can program I have never compiled a Kodi addon from source, especially cross compiled for RPI. If you have any good tutorials that might help...
As for bumping the connection timeout, I had already had it at 100. The logfile specifically points to the Slalker middleware version as at fault.

[Cub69]

What middleware version is the current version? I don't want to go through the process if it won't help me.

Did the log contain "Firmware of your STB is outdated."? If it did, this was fixed since Kodi Jarvis alpha2 and Isengard 15.2 rc3.

Also, is this you?

[dvbken]

starting with Kodi 16 Jarvis alpha2, full urls (including the trailing '/') must be used.

Yes, that is me - I was looking for help and/or some direction with it. so answer is to upgrade my version of Kodi. Thanks will give it a try.

So I'm getting closer. I'm now running Kodi Jarvis 16 rc2. PVR client 0.9.7.

[paranoidjack]

Since the new requirement of a serial number with NFPS; is it possible to get the built-in version working with it?

I can't use the modified version (Stalker Client NFPS) because I'm using Android Lollipop which prevents the required .dll/.so from loading.

[apun]

The stalker does have serial number entry and I have tried to Add a 13 digit (even 15 digit) random serial number, but Stalker says "Unable to load channels", Are the device ID 1&2, signature, token, required? I have tried entering random numbers in that also and still says "Unable to Load channels"


Anyone has gotten Stalker client to work after the serial number requirements ? please help

Followed guide exactly and are getting the following error-

This is what i did:

Go to Papiao, delete your MAC and save. Get in again and set a new MAC, save. Go to Kodi, Settings, TV, disable it. Go to Addons, Stalker Client, disable it. Go to configure and add the new MAC you just set up on Papiao. Make sure it is the same: 00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX where X are ramdom numbers/letters combinations, then scroll down to Advanced. Token: put any 4 numbers; Serial: put 12 numbers and on last digit put a letter (Ex. H, J, A, F, whatever), this is ramdom 13 digits serial anyway; Device 1: put any 4 numbers; Device 2: put another 4 any numbers, different than Dev1; Signature: put your lastname. Click ok, enable the addon again, go to settings, TV, enable it again, it will start charging and maybe will work. If you get the error (most likely), click home, and exit Kodi. Re enter kodi again. Now it should work. Good luck

Just remember after saving all of the information: Make sure you Enable/Disable TV more than 2 times, first time it will say "unable to load channels" but second and third time it will finally load all channels. :D

Disable/Enable once more and now All Working!!! :D

[BIGPAPI1]

any built-in pvr stalker for kodi14.1??? the other one i had cannot install serial numbers. unable to parse kodi 15.0 on android.

[uirchris]

Works again. Did nothing.

I only used an 11 digit serial BTW, and have it working. Is 13 absolutely necessary.

Could this be why it stops for a few hours late at night?

[Puska]

I actually uninstalled stalker pvr installed it again entered same Mac and serial..... As in stalker iptv addon but left out epg and miraculously it worked. Can't beleive how much faster it changes channels. And best off all I have EPG not sure if it's because IVue or how it got info but it's working.

[unheeding]

Hey dara, you should update this tutorial to indicate that the Time Zone does matter! Was struggling with my guide missing channels for 2 days until Alucard told me to set my Time Zone, now my guide works perfectly :)

[dara]

I don't think the time zone matters, at least in 0.8.3. I have no issues with leaving it alone. The real setting that is important is your computer/device setting for time zone.

Caveat... I could be wrong, but dvbken would probably have told us otherwise, either through the site, or to the Clarivoyance team.

Well, from my experience (trying for 2 days straight to fix my guide), the time zone 100% does matter. When it was on Europe/Kiev, 237 channels were missing from my guide (all the channels with "no info available"), and the guide was not coloured. After trying EVERYTHING (and thinking time zone didn't matter because I followed this tutorial), today I set the Time Zone to America/Toronto (I live in Montreal), and now my guide is exactly as it was with the NFPS PVR (i.e. all channels showing, coloured guide to distinguish genres...)

[dara]

It may mean that there might have been an inadvertent character entered there that caused the guide parser to choke, and repopulating it allowed it to work. The last word from the developer is that it doesn't matter, that timezone is determined from the device settings, iirc (I'll check his postings). I'm running with the default setting "Europe/Kiev" and it works fine.

[Puska]

I also left "Europe/Kiev" but did set time zone to Toronto/Canada in OpenELEC and my EPG is spot on.

[Autoroam]

I followed Vampirito's instructions and they got the channels to load (got an error first time i enabled tv then I exited Kodi and when I reopened Kodi, it all displayed)

However, in my initial test of channels, a few played but then I got a message "Stalker failed to fetch stream from url" ….wonder what this is all about?

I quit kodi and then the problem went away when I restarted….will need to monitor this.

Is there any way I can avoid the bar at the top loading the guides and channels every time I start up Kodi (or is that impossible)? Thanks

[anilkuj]

I Tried all the instructions to the word no luck :( , i took the same serial , Device Ids and Signature and used in in IPTV Stalker video addon everything works fine

just can't seem to get it working with the PVS stalker client both with 0.8.4 and 0.8.4 also tried 0.9.7 froom Github same issue

i am at my wits end , any help appreciated

After following the instructions to the letter it still didn't work for me however, changing from portal to the 11. Address worked perfectly

Anyone know how to solve the problem, just got nexus player, installed Kodi 15.2 and setup Stalker PVR 0.8.4 so I got channels to load with epg but than most of them say Failed to load stream URL when trying to play them.

Tried lowering EPG to 1 day, Nexus player has 1 GB of Ram same as Raspberry PI 2

Ok seems that distance from router made signal from 5 Ghz sketchy, when I moved it next to router everything seems to work fine, except CBS but not sure if the channel is down or it's just my setup.

There shouldn't be a problem if the PVR or add-on is configured properly. Specifically, what issues are you encountering?

[viper8690]

I'm having a problem on my android box s802 where if I put the guide preference to "xmltv only" then it comes up blank. If I put any other option, the guide shows up; I assume that it is only pulling data from the "provider" whatever that is. However, I have a few issues with this:
1. it's very slow to load
2. It does not support colored guide like xmltv epg grabber
3. DST is always off so the guide is off by 1 hour

I have successfully set up everything on my macbook with "XMLTV Only" and it works perfectly fine. It's just an issue on my android box. Anyone else run into this same issue?

I tried downloading the guide.xml from the android browser and then just referred the PVR stalker client to the location of the guide and everything worked as it should. Kind of a headache to do on a regular basis. It seems the client is being blocked from accessing/downloading the guide.xml but I'm not getting any error messages.

Can anybody suggest anything?

Ok i read many way to do this but it keep said this need help
pvr manager is starting up
loading channels from clients




a red x come up said

stalker clients
unable to load channel
thanks jc MY SERVER IS IKS66

Its not just you. I followed the instructions to the tee using the NFPS server and I get the same error as you do so I gave up. I hear its nice IF you can ever get it working. The only thing I can think is that I'm using the Stalker Client 0.8.4 that came with the fresh install of Kodi 15.2. Problem is there are so many different sets of instructions out there you don't know which to use anymore

[dara]

I think if you just follow the directions as put in the first post of this thread, you will be able to get it going. Sometimes issues are with your connection, and latency, or the response from the server which is why you may have to vary the timeout connection. Another assumption is that you are clearing data in the TV settings. Usually, cycling the PVR from that setting will help. Finally, it can actually be your device, or available memory. Kodi uses a lot of storage and ram, and you may be running other things so it just can't get going.

[vibeline]

The first time the guide loaded I had 1017 channels.
Now I only have 876?
Where the heck did the 141 channels go?
its all the ppv channels, I want those ones back, anyone know how I can get them back?
thanks folks.
P.S. I didn't change anything, I just re-booted the computer.

[dara]

See the announcements... they were working on the PPVs.

Thanks...

I have tried numerous of times and I am unable to get anywhere with IPTV stalker, this is really frustrating, help would be greatly appreciated. Its loaded on to my android tv

I have tried numerous of times and I am unable to get anywhere with IPTV stalker, this is really frustrating, help would be greatly appreciated. Its loaded on to my android tv

This thread is for PVR Stalker not IPTV Stalker. Please ask your question in a releated thread or open a new one asking for help in the proper section.

[ilan]

And if you do post there, be a little bit more specific. Saying "I am unable to get anywhere" gives us little to go on. What version of IPTV Stalker did you install? What configuration steps did you take? What error message(s) are you receiving?

[Obs-elite]

I need some help please. I have followed all the threads and instructions to setup PVR Stalker and I keep getting unable to load channels.
I am running Kodi 15.2 with the PVR Stalker. I have made my donation to iptv66 and linked my donation to my mac address.
Everything is filled out Mac Address - server - http://66.iptv66.tv and I tried without the http:// as well - S/N and device ids and signature are all filled out. I have increased the timeout to 15 and nothing is working.
I have been going at this for two days - I also have tried clearing data numerous times and enabling and disabling and the TV function. I keep getting the same error that stalker is unable to load channels.

Can anyone provide any insight or ideas - I am at a loss right now.

Thanks

Still having the stuttering problem and audio out of sync...can anyone help
Kodi v. 152
PVR stalker

[edwardnizz]

I know im a noobie but if it helps I'd like to add.
I had a terrible time getting pvr to work(unable to load channeld,ID mismatch,etc)
Finally got it by making sure serial#,Id's, and signature match in the pvr client and the stalker video add on. clear cache after each step.
disable pvr and live tv and clear data before you add the info to stalker video add on.
once your up to setting up stalker pvr, make sure you also add the xmltv url "hxxps://papaio.tv/main/EPG/mac/00:1A:78:xx:xx:xx/donation/"your donationnumber"/fname/NFPSF1"
clear cache again enable stalkerpvr client and then enable live tv.
you might have change mac once. Save those other numbers(serial,Is's, and signature). they will work if you change builds
worked for me when everything else didn't.
p.s. if there's an "fname" that gets less channels(preferably english/us) please post it. NFPSF1 loads real slow on my fire stick...

[eureka]

/NFPS1e/

delete the e & use NFPSF1

Solved the channel problem after 2 days - too many posts to sift through but finally found one that helped and did the trick. If your having problems follow Darksides instructions in this thread. Worked Great first try. Thank God!!! http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?9541-quot-Unable-to-load-channels-quot-Need-help-w-0-8-3-Stalker-Client-PVR/page5

just set up another mac with info similar to this and it works.. just folllow this, try it out

serial= 112044Y878544

device id1= 8974J

device id2= 1400B

signature= Hard1287

use this same format, change up the numbers by one or two digits, clear data, clear cache, may need to unlink and relink or just pick a new mac being its kodi and you can

[cmx1oo1]

new user here, finally got this to work using this. but it could of been because i had the mac address incorrect from the beginning. the stalker client defaults with 00:1A:79. so check that if you used 00:1A:78

Just installed the current stable build of OSMC on my raspberry pi2 (with Kodi 15.2).

It took a bit, to restore the settings I had, but everything is working very well. I like how fast the channels are loading now.

Thank you obs and cmx, it works now :o

[sandog]

can some help me out with the propper info on setting up Guide and XMLTV... I'm running Kodi 16 with iks66 service

[JD95]

Is there a quick way to change the channel order like to something that may already be set up or do you have to go ahead and alter it all manually?


Also, having begun to manually move around the channels under the "channels" heading, I noticed the order didn't change in the EPG. Is there a way to make it stick? Maybe it's something stupid that will be obvious to someone with more know how that I've not even thought about.

[sandog]

Hello all. Had a question on if i had 2 different kodi set ups can you copy your info for both setups and use the same donation number for both... Can you copy and only use 1 at a time with the same info Thanks in advance for the help

[JD95]

As long as you have different MAC addresses for both and remember to switch between them both. I've been switching between two different devices.

[sandog]

So just make sure I use 1 at a time? And what do u mean 2 different macs

[sandog]

So I think your saying just switch between the 2 macs for each kodi setup thu iks66 when I wanna watch each one

[expatter]

So just make sure I use 1 at a time? And what do u mean 2 different macs

You don't need to have two macs to do what you are asking. In fact, you would have to keep changing/authorizing them each time you used a different one and that seems like an unnecessary step and a PITA. As long as you use only one instance at a time (have only 1 box turned on) then you can use the same info on as many boxes as you want. I have it on 4 and use them with no authorization issues.

I am trying to get the pvr client to work on Kodi on a windows laptop. I have followed dara's tutorial to the letter, but I keep getting 'pvr client cannot connect to the server' errors. I am using exactly the same MAC and id settings as I use for the stalker video addon which works fine on the same laptop (and on another PC). Any ideas?

[matrixebiz]

Hello, can you please clarify what the differences in the Guide options are adn what is the correct/current solution. Thx

i've set up a friend with the inbuilt PVR as he gets the dll error on the nfps one.
all working good for him with the epg ninja - but come the 1st of Feb in the auth credentials bit - do i need to enter his donation in these fields or is it ok as they are in the epg url?

On pvr stalker, droid box, kodi 15.2

Every 5 seconds my picture freezer for a split second. Then it does a stupid fast fowardimg thing. It is very infuriating. I have swapped back to iptv stalker in the mean time and its running without fault. Is there settings i need to change? I need to change? I turned off the 3 things in the acceleration tab also!

I already have advance setting loaded onto my fire tv but I am still getting buffering and freezing from using kodi stalker. I have tried to download the stalker NFPS but get the DLL error. Any other suggestions?

put kodi in debug mode, install the kodi log uploader program plugin from the kodi repo.. restart kodi and run the log uploader pm me the link to your log file. (this log file contains login details, do not post on the forum)

Do we still need that whole papiao tv address in the remote url area now that user password is implemented?
I'm using built in pvr stalker in kodi 15.2.

It's required for Kodi 16, not because of the authentication change.

I spoke to soon - I tried it this morning and was getting alot of failed to load stream url errors on more channels then not, so i decided to clear data in live tv and do a iptv reset and reinitialize everything and im getting failed to load channels and autorization error - Weird thing is i didnt change a thing other then did a clear channel so could reload, it seems the iptv reset is not working again either. Any idea what could have happened?

No matter what I do...I cannot get the guide to work, I have installed the epg updater input the address for 15.2 in the remote url reset my MAC address, cleared guide data cleared tv data restarted kodi many rimes, did whatever possiable there was to do and yet I cannot get the ninja epg to work..I searched all the forms on this site did what was asked and still a no go..any help please.*

[ssmoker]

Many Thanks for this Dara,
I'm on Openelec using Kodi 16 - With your guide here I was FINALLY :cool: able to get this up & running w/ Guide. Was Very close to saying the hell w/ it. The Guide portion varied for me - In Stalker Client 1.0.3 I had to set XMLTV scope to Local Path then Point to Userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/epg_xmltv.xml.. Obviously I already had EPG Ninja guide add on installed. Hopefully this will assist the next guy.
