Unable to Load Channels (Stalker Client)

[monuoha]

Greetings Everyone,

While NFPS was free, my service on my Element android box (Kodi 14.2) & HTPC (windows 8.1 and Kodi 14.2) worked perfectly. No freezing, no authorization failed messages...Nothing. Both PVR simple client, I-vue guide and the IPTV stalker video add-on worked well. No MAC address was being used at this time.

In August, I made a donation for NFPS service using the MAC of my android box while I was on vacation and it worked flawlessly. I could watch the service either through the PVR simple client (with working EPG) or IPTV stalker. I-vue no longer worked, which I understand the reason why now having read most of the posts on the site. My android box even upgraded to Kodi 15.1 & it worked with the new Stalker client PVR (with EPG) except for the fact that the video was zoomed and basically unwatchable. Could not fix issue.

Fast forward to this past weekend, I am no longer on vacation. I changed the MAC address on the papiao site to the MAC of my HTPC running Kodi 14.2 since I no longer intended to watch on my android box. Now PVR simple client refuses to work. Says "Authorization Failed". The IPTV stalker video add-on (ver 1.2.0) still works.

I upgraded my Kodi on the HTPC to 15.1, setup Stalker Client PVR but yet still not working. It says "Unable to Load Channels". I have tried the numerous suggestions on this site to either increase the connection timeout to 60, 72, 120....still wont work. I have downloaded the tweaked Stalker client....still wont work. I have tried using PVR simple client....still wont work. HOWEVER, the IPTV stalker video add on (ver 1.2.0) works.

Finally I reverted my MAC back to the MAC of my android box on the papiao site YET I still am getting the UNABLE to load message. I have done numerous clean installs of switching back and forth between Kodi 14.2 and 15.1 and still nothing.

My stalker client PVR (ver 0.8.3) settings are:
MAC - 00:1A:78:XX:XX:XX
Server address: portal.iptvprivateserver.tv (also tried http://11.iptvprivateserver.tv)
Prefer XMLTV
http://is.gd/NFPSF


HELP PLEASE....I want this to work with the Stalker client or PVR Simple client (ver 1.11.5) so that I can have an EPG. I have read that SEVERAL people are having this issue but are yet to resolve.

The problem is primarily in using v1.2.0 for IPTV Stalker. You'll need to review the tutorials, and the specifics on how to get rid of it for the last official version 1.0.18. You'll also need a new MAC,and install the new PVR Stalker NFPS.

The reason why is that the 1.2.0 was created for freeloaders to access the system, but it no longer works. It will send unnecessary information that will corrupt your linked MAC, causing the issues that you see. There are others in this area that were able to fix this as well.

Try going in to the Stalker Client and make sure you disable the Send Serial number. It is on by default in this version which is causing the problem. Once you have disabled this, you will need to change your MAC and then you should be good as long as you don't use iVue. If you use iVew you need to apply another fix as well.

Thanks for the replies. Alucard I already made sure Send serial number was not checked. I will try dara's solution. Just hope I can find the old versions to install. Also someone somewhere mentioned that kodi would automatically update it to the new version anyways. Hate to turn off auto updates for the whole system.

will it load channels if you remove is.gd epg? or set it to provider only?

[Alucard]

But did you change your MAC after you did?

Thank you and Dara for these instructions. I had been racking my brain on trying to fix this, but was unable to do so until I had time to read the thread and follow the directions exactly. To those of you who may be having the same issue, I uninstalled Kodi, re-installed Kodi 15, and started fresh. I am now working!! YAY Kudos to both of you!


WOW Dara, thanks a lot. Its finally worked!!!!

hey monuoha i am having a similar problem using a matricom mx2 android box with kodi 15.2 and stalker client NFPS and i associated my nfps donation with the last 6 digits of my mac with the 00:1A:78 prefix and when i enter this into the tv configure area of kodi and try to enable the tv it shows the message on upper right corner trying to load channles,,then i get 2 messages on bottom right "authentication failed retrying" the "unkown error see log" has anyone gotten this to work and load and see the channels on kodi? , i imagine this fix above was for when the service was on free trial and not for the current paid version? thanx in advance

That is a very old version of the IPTV Stalker video add-on. It would not work even if you could find it. The post you are quoting is from August of last year.

Download the latest version of the video add-on, configure it according to the directions and you should be in business.
