url open error timed out

[djsolospins]

So today I noticed I'm getting this message. . I noticed other people are having this issue. . Weird part about it is I disconnected my Internet from my box... then connected it to my phone "tethered" and it now works. . Once I reconnect to my Internet it doesn't work again .. I'm scratching my head over here. . Footnote I have Cox...

turn your firewall off and try it

Hi, I am getting the same error. Is there any fix without having to turn off the firewall

[Marley]

all i said is try it to see if thats the problem

[dave86]

I'm using an android box dont really know how to do that on these

[djsolospins]

Haven't try the firewall but I will give that a shot .. however it's been working flawlessly up until today. . I know other people with this issue. . Are you guys using Cox ...?

Same issue here for the first time today. I'm not on Cox. There's definitely something awry. I had authorization failures and channels endlessly trying to load as well.

[djsolospins]

Did you try tethering from your phone?

[sat-junkie]

Something is def screwy ..

[djsolospins]

On the phone with Cox now to see if the any permissions on there modem/router that can be changed..

I am having the same problem. I also have cox.

I have some friends who are on cox and the only channels they can get are the foreign channels. When they go through hotspot on phone, channels are working.
One friend even says there internet is suspended and to call for reinstatement.

Just a suggestion, If your service provider is blocking your IPTV you might try using a VPN. There are a few free ones out there to test but you will want to pay a solid server if a VPN is the solution. Google free VPN. :)

Cox is not blocking anything. Not sure why this has came up over and over. Service is down at the moment and that is all there is to it. It will be back soon as normal.

Your friend had to be using torrents. That's the only thing they suspend internet for.

I am currently in South East Asia. What I did maybe it was coincidence, but, I went into settings and cleared cache. Then unplugged the Firetv Stick for roughly about 15 minutes. When I plugged it backed in, Kodi started like it was installed for the first time. Now, it runs normally without the url's errors.
