iptv down

[armando]

Is the iptv down cuz it say unable to load it was working last night but now it's not working and I have 3 android box with 3 different mac address

[Roach46]

Yup, same here

[MitchL]

There were problems yesterday. Many people reported issues.

I just tried it this morning. Stalker Client timed out after displaying the endless "Working"

I gave IPTV Stalker a try. The first channel I tried returned

h**p://Error 502: Bad Gateway (Never had that one before...)

The second channel I tried resulted in about 2 minutes of "Working" and then finally loaded.

Something is definitely still going on.

[tekkie]

None of my boxes work, however both of my co-workers I turned on to IPTV said that their boxes are working fine right now, with zero issues. Something's wonky. Sounds like they're still trying to figure out how to get folks with fake MAC's removed, so that those of us that PAID still get our services. SMH.

[theuduk]

Lots of things to keep server guys busy besides adding and stabilizing channels, keep trying and post back if any change.

[python]

still down here ...I have a lot of people upset with me getting iptv ..last time I will tell any one about iptv ..

[dan2015]

up and running fine here

[Roach46]

still down here ...I have a lot of people upset with me getting iptv ..last time I will tell any one about iptv ..

Thats why you explain to them, how iptv preforms, and its still in the development stage, and your going to have some down time, some freezing etc,

[MitchL]

Back up again here!! :))

[MitchL]

Unfortunately, back down again here. Time out error is the response...

[Marley]

running here with np and no freeze so maybe give them time to get it all running

[Bkman2020]

If you noticed last night was freeze free means they are working to stablize the system ,heck maybe we get more channels added it.

[69darticalda]

IPTV down here. THis is the first time its been down since i actually had it. It says "loading"...then "working"...then suddenly goes back as though i never clicked the channel

[MitchL]

Yup, I sometimes get that or "Stream failed to load" on Stalker Client and "authorization failure" on IPTV Stalker,, but the error messages change every few hours. The channels came back for a few minutes this morning and then down again with no return.

[radmacks]

just tried 18:07 CDT authorization failed

[Sean5656]

When I click NFPS I get ITV authorization failed.
I got my donation the other day an was working fine yesterday. Is this a problem on my end?

[MitchL]

Same here... Authorization failed on IPTV Stalker and failure to load stream from PVR StalkerClient.

[theuduk]

Try a full reboot and see what happens also they may be working on server again, keep checking.

[Sean5656]

I tried that and everything else an still get ITV authorization failed. I would like conformation that it's not a problem on my end.

[MitchL]

Unfortunately, you won't get confirmation because no one knows at the forum end. But there were big server issues yesterday and earlier today. The posts trickling in now (including mine) suggest there are still problems.

[spdklls99]

Timeout errors for past couple days on tv box over wifi ..some channels worked sporadically . ..over cell service on phone stalker worked great....so thought it was xfinity blocking nfps maybe....now today neither one works...authorization failed

[Bkman2020]

Sever work in progress

[Bkman2020]

Remember when they first debuted the service they had same issues so is most likley server work on there end.

[joe joe]

i have ipt stalker exo was working last night now its down anyone have stalker exo working

[big dady]

About time

[MitchL]

This is not the place to discuss NFPS workarounds.

[MitchL]

Sever work in progress

Hope so. It's been down a little over 33 hours at this end. The only thing entertaining was watching the error messages change over the duration.

[Bkman2020]

Please reboot boxes

[MitchL]

Still Authorization Failure after the reboot...

[Bkman2020]

Not much traffic here today so most likley very few are effected.

[MitchL]

All have the same Authorization Failure.

[Bkman2020]

If all have that why do i see only 23 people here ?

[Bkman2020]

This site would had been flooded with users

[MitchL]

All the people who can't connect are reporting Authorization Failure errors.

[eureka]

All the people who can't connect are reporting Authorization Failure errors.
Did you by any chance change your MAC address during the downtime?

The reason I ask is that after reading another thread in which a mod claimed that there was nothing wrong & that people should invest in a VPN or go through the cancellation process with their ISP & commit to a new contract with an alternative provider (!) which obviously wasn't necessary I changed my MAC address for one of my donations & the change was accepted. After the 22 hours downtime two of my boxes showed channels again but the third (the one which I'd changed the MAC on) showed Authorization Failure, but when I changed it back to the original MAC the channels showed once more after clearing cache & a reboot.

[Marley]

look i cant tell you if iptv stalker is working but my avov boxes are

[1sikmf]

I'm getting 'Authorization failed'. Can't log on

[big dady]

Mag and emulator are working here

[Sean5656]

I have 2 MAC address on 2 fire tvs in 2 different locations. One won't even go past clicking NFPS cause of authorization failed. An the other when I click a channel for example (usa network) it shows the loading bar then nothing but a error message

[PHiZiK]

down here too. and Authorization failed message.

[69darticalda]

4am and still down here.

[hunter0506]

Been working fine here for a good few hours

[actueel]

Disney JR down. Will someone please think of the children! :eek:

[bmp9]

Authorization Failure. changed 1 number on mac made new mac up and running firestick but last 2 mornings been freezing works god most of the day

[kingkong1]

Ive changed mac. CHanged everything. Just getting authorization failure. This happened yesterday then it just clicked back in and started working.

It would be nice if the suppliers posted info up when they have server problems rather than nothing .

[bmp9]

should have a banner at top to let us know some sites do that up or down

[bmp9]

we may have been down when you changed your mac like you said it would be nice to know

[kingkong1]

should have a banner at top to let us know some sites do that up or down

Yup totally agree.

The sit and wait and hope the whole thing hasnt gone bust just makes me not want to buy anymore donations again. How can a re-seller provide a service if the suppliers dont ever provide any info when they are having issues???

Mind boggles.

[FrankieG]

I have rebooted on numerous occasions, and I am only getting a handful of channels, namely 201-204, and a couple other news channels. Nothing from Channel 2, up. For those who are up and running on all channels, it would be helpful, if you could tell us what you did to get back all of your channels. There are other who I know are in the same position as I am.

[dave86]

Same problem here. Authorisation failed trying to click into nfps

[Hipster]

Same issue. Apparently, they've determined the quantity of people who no longer have service after the server issues isn't sufficient enough to warrant concern.

[trojanman]

I am still getting authorization failure. Just wish someone from the support team would acknowledge the issue.

[Rizz]

I dont know but everything is is working here watching TBS..

[ajsman8]

hi just to join in authorization problems here to.....over 24hrs

[theuduk]

Hope so. It's been down a little over 33 hours at this end. The only thing entertaining was watching the error messages change over the duration.


Same issue. Apparently, they've determined the quantity of people who no longer have service after the server issues isn't sufficient enough to warrant concern.

Is pretty hard to work on server without talking some peoples system down and there is no good time with the currant global audience now it seems some are up whilst others are down, should settle shortly then will just need a tickle to keep it strumming along nicely.

[waynemcke]

I've had the same 'ITV Authorization Failed' message for every channel for over 48 hours now..........changed MAC address several times, tried it on different boxes/laptop to test it, etc and still getting the same error message.

Not sure what else I can try or change at my end and with the posts here I'm guessing the problem is at their end but that's the point, I'm 'guessing'. Very frustrating when I've paid for a service and have no idea what's happening.

[Capt.Kangaroo]

I've asked the Admin to please give us an update on whats going on.
Hoping he has time to fill us in on whats being done.
Please be patient.
Thanks

[MitchL]

Thanks, Capt. Same here with the authorization failure. It is approaching 48 hours, although it did come back for about 30 minutes yesterday morning, but then back down to stay.

[high247]

Eastcoast usa and all is fine here.

[Roach46]

Buffering this morning and now authorization failure, suppose i should be working anyways instead of watching tv

[radmacks]

fir the people that are up what server are you connecting to ?

[irish girl]

I used stalker add on cleared cache and worked fine

If I use pvr stalker nothing works

So go to iptv stalker and try from there

[VinnieVegas6]

down here also saying authorization failed

[VinnieVegas6]

using iptv stalker here and cleared cache and still authorization failure

[gizmogadget]

I've been down for weeks. I only get the "gas gauge" and it hangs. Can't get past the gauge. I did an update and still no go. Is my problem related to this thread? or am I doing something wrong.....

[Mumalo22]

using iptv stalker here and cleared cache and still authorization failure

Vinnie I'm having same issue.i followed Dara sticky and no go. I wonder if Iptv is down.

[SebsiBC]

My new tvonline+ box was working perfectly yesterday, but I'm getting freezing two to three times per minute on every channel I've tried this morning.

[Marley]

read Announcements

[dave86]

You are so helpful thanks!

[MitchL]

So, at the end of 52 hours, I decided to try changing the port and the Mac Address, as suggested by asft...

1. Port Change Successful

2. Mac Address Change Successful

3. Added the new Mac Address to both IPTV Stalker and PVR Stalker Client

3. Cleared Cache 5 times

4. Rebooted

5. Cleared Cache 5 times

The results...

IPTV Stalker - ITV Authorization Failure

PVR Stalker Client - Failure to obtain Stream

The exact same errors from before the port and Mac Address changes and from when the server issues began two days ago. The problem is at the NFPS server side, not at my end.

There was never an issue until 2 days ago when the servers went wonky, and the problems have persisted since that time.

[DishFear]

milli must own this server.
This service is dejavu'n me to the N1 N2 DTV days.
lets hope this server isn't on its way out.

Seems to me this server and site will shutdown one night without warning

Just curious, what does your MAC start with? Is it 00:1A:78 or 00:1A:79? If it is 00:1A:79, change it to 00:1A:78 and see if that works.

[MitchL]

The MAC starts with 00:1A:78

Service has been up so the problem is on your end right now. From reading your post I see you said you changed ports when there is no port to change to, so that is probably your issue right there. Server for pvr client is 11.iptvprivateserver.tv and thats all. No port to add there. Cheers!

[Marley]

yea we will run like bugs if you trun on lights lmao

[dave86]

11.iptvprivateserver.tv doesn't work for me only portal.iptvprivateserver.tv

[high247]

11.iptvprivateserver.tv doesn't work for me only portal.iptvprivateserver.tv

You use portal.iptvprivateserver.tv in iptv stalker. You use 11.iptvprivateserver.tv for pvr stalker client only.

[high247]

yea we will run like bugs if you trun on lights lmao

Don't feed the trolls my friend. Haha 😎

[sjordash]

IPTV back up at 4:45 this site time

[Marley]

yes we are

[MitchL]

I did not change the port in IPTV Stalker nor in the PVR client. That is NOT the problem. The problem is at the server end!

The url in IPTV Stalker is h**p://portal.iptvprivateserver.tv -- as it always has been and has always worked until the server issues.

The url in PVR Stalker Client is h**p://11.iptvprivateserver.tv -- as it always has been and has always worked until the server issues.

The MAC Address is valid and is linked to my order -- as it always has been and has always worked until the server issues.

Nothing else is having any problem whatsoever. Everything else connects and works.

======================================

The trolls are the people who made a donation and can't get TV service because the servers are screwed up.

It's a hoot to you because your service is working. It is not a hoot to me, waiting 3 days for whatever is screwed up to be corrected.

[Marley]

i had tv for most part of three days or my wife would of came running

You wrote you changed ports. The servers are fine now or I wouldn't be able to connect as well, so something is wrong on your end as of right now. Cheers!

10 hours after I posted this and I'm still seeing the same error message.....I don't even know what to do or try next?

[MitchL]

There are many more people who are still having problems and will trickle in to comment. For those of us without service, I guess it's tough luck.

[waynemcke]

You wrote you changed ports. The servers are fine now or I wouldn't be able to connect as well, so something is wrong on your end as of right now. Cheers!

OK, hypothetically, if something is wrong at my end, what could it be? The MAC address is fine, my subscription is live and all of the portal details are the same as they were when I was able to pick up channels a few days ago.

Seems too much of a coincidence that some of us are not able to access anything and haven't for the last few days while these server problems have been going on don't you think?

[MitchL]

Exactly. Things were working perfectly for weeks. The servers there went down. Nothing has changed at my end. Now I can't gain access and I'm to assume the problem is at my end. No!

[Sean5656]

It's definitely not on my end cause my 2 Amazon tvs aren't working an my friends is doing the same. Authorization failed as always.

[Bkman2020]

No issues here

[Marley]

this is a c/p for kodi this may help you
Ive read soo many of these threads but i simply asked the people i bought off to change mac and change portal from there panel me i dont know why you need to do that part boom five minutes later i put in the new mac they gave me and its been fine ever since.

if you cant get the seller to help then you cn try doing the above steps yourselfs going into donation checker and change mac and then go back in and change port.

insert the mac into the kodi addon stalker and it will work ive helped atleast 50 people today and its worked for all of them.

There are of course changes being made at the moment to help combat the leechers freeloaders i have stronger words for them but i wont post that

The MAC change does not work. I've tried several new MAC addresses (and back to my original working MAC) and even done this on different machines that I have Kodi loaded on. Every possible combination results in exactly the same error and authorisation failure.

'and change portal from there panel me' - I don't understand what you mean by this? Are you saying change the URL address on the portal settings in IPTV Stalker on Kodi? If so, to what? As I've said, I'm using the same URL I've been using for the last 6 months with no problems.

[MitchL]

That didn't work for me, as you see in my former messages.

For those with issues, I got things working somewhat by hunt and peck. Previously, I was using IPTV Stalker 9.0.20 (iVue Guide friendly version) along with PVR Simple Client. Before the server issues, they both worked flawlessly. After the server issues, neither worked.

I decided to try enabling PVR Stalker Client. I just had to change to my new MAC Address. Everything else was set-up from before. On the initial start-up, the PVR Manager complained, "Unable to load channels." I disabled and re-enabled TV. The channels started loading. They loaded way slower than before, but they were loading. When I initially clicked a channel, I got the all too familiar error message, "Authorization Failure." I clicked again and the channel loaded. Other channels have subsequently loaded. I then pulled up PVR Stalker Client NFPS 0.8.3 and entered the new Mac Address. The rest was set-up from before. It also worked.

However, IPTV Stalker 9.0.20 doesn't work anymore. I really liked using it in conjunction with iVue Guide. PVR Simple Guide no longer works, but it leans on credentials from IPTV Stalker, so if IPTV Stalker isn't working, it somewhat stands to reason that it would not work. The portal and MAC Address are entered correctly, but both of those avenues produce the all too familiar Authorization Failure.

Beyond that, I can't use the IPTV Stalker add-on. When I try to click on the NFPS folder, I get an Authorization Failure. (Maybe an over-aggressive or poorly executed authorization protocol?)

I haven't proof read this so it may be a bit incoherent, but I wanted to get the information out so you can try to get things going if you're down. Post back and let us know if this route works so others can benefit.

I uninstall iptv stalker 9.0 and reinstall the last version and it work for me

[MitchL]

It makes using iVue using more tedious, though, but good to know. Many of the IPTV Stalker clones are based on 9.0.19 or 9.0.20. A new, over-aggressive protocol could be misreading a harmless version as a clone version.

[mombasa123]

I haven't posted before on this as figured i would wait a couple of days while servers were sorted as per the Mods.

Tried it just now and was all good - for about 5 min. Now I am getting an empty string (") error instead of the usual Authorisation Failure.

Sigh.

Edit : rebooted and all ok now. Am on V9.0.19 with iVue. My original mac works fine too, Suggest people just wait a bit more.

[MitchL]

What's your set-up? What methods have you used to try to access the service? You've read my post (above) and it doesn't apply or you've tried and the recommendations failed?

[Mumalo22]

If you're still down, did you try the steps I mentioned in a post a little after that? Also, what box are using and what method are you using to try to connect to the service? can you link your post. You have a few posts on how to fix IPTV. I am using IPTV stalker 9.019, I am getting custom make error. Also I have read to use the older stalker which I cannot find. I am using a Amazon fire tv loaded with Kodi. It worked great until two days ago. I am also trying to get this to work on my tablet. Nothing is working.

[trojanman]

I am still having the authorization failure. For those it's working whats the URL you're connecting to?? I have iview on 9.0.19 runing on firetv. I have done numerous port changes and MAC updates.

[MitchL]

Again, try the recommendations I just offered. I know it's not exclusive to the Fire Stick and Fire TV, but I am seeing many with that configuration having issues.

For IPTV Stalker use portal.iptvprivateserver.tv (which I can't get working as you'll note in my write-up.)

For a PVR Client use 11.iptvprivateserver.tv

Your suggestion did not work for me.

[Mumalo22]

I have iptvrocket. If I use the address mentioned above will it work for rocket account. The address your suggesting is for nfps.

[MitchL]

I would use the PVR client address for Rocket, but follow the same steps. However, it might work. The worst you can do is try it and then change it to the appropriate address if it doesn't work.

[Alucard]

I have had no issues at all other that a freeze every now and then but I expect that. I mainly use the PVR Stalker Client so I do not have all the freezing issues. As for the Stalker client, well this is my own modified version but it works as well. Now one thing to note is that if I use the Stalker Client and switch to the PVR Stalker, I get unable to load stream. I normally have to disable and re-enable the Live TV to reset the session key to make it work again. I also have to do this if I change boxes since I use the same MAC.

I have the same settings for both the Stalker Client and PVR Stalker.
Connection Timeout: 60
Stalker Client Server: http://portal.iptvprivateserver.tv
PVR Stalker Server: 11.iptvprivateserver.tv
MAC: 00:1a:78:xx:xx:xx
Serial Number: Random numbers/letters
Device ID 1: Random numbers/letters
Device ID 2: Random numbers/letters
Signature: Random numbers/letters

Some things to try would be to uninstall the stalker client. Delete the \Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.stalker folder (location will depend on the device, see Kodi wiki). Install the one of the stalker clients posted here on the site and setup as above.

[trojanman]

Looks like I made some progress i am now getting custom mac 1 error

[MitchL]

Same issue with the session key. If I switch to IPTV Stalker, a subsequent attempt to use PVR Stalker Client results in a failed stream, necessitating a disabling and re-enabling of Live TV.

[MitchL]

What PVR Client are you trying to set-up? What information fields have you filled-out (e.g., Mac Address, etc)?

[trojanman]

What PVR Client are you trying to set-up? What information fields have you filled-out (e.g., Mac Address, etc)?

IPTV STALKER.

I am now getting authorization failed. If try u 11.iptvprivateserver.tv, i get 404 not found

If you're in the same boat as me, all that is going to work is a PVR client, and not PVR Simple Client. (Check my recommendations.) IPTV Stalker is an IPTV add-on. That no longer works for me. There is a Stalker Client built into Kodi, named Stalker Client. It worked, as I related in the recommendations. Alternatively, you can download PVR Stalker Client NFPS 0.8.3 or 0.8.4. Currently, I'm watching TV using PVR Stalker Client.

11.iptvprivateserver.tv will be used in the PVR Client, not in IPTV Stalker.

Man, I don't know what's compatible. I don't want to hazzard a guess. Try rolling back to IPTV Stalker xxxx, as arnul said above. There's a chance that will work. Make sure send serial number is checked.

I rolled back to IPTV Stalker 1.0.18 and it works. You must make sure Send Serial number is enabled, although you don't have to enter a serial number. A null (empty) serial number does the trick.

As I speculated yesterday, they've added a more aggressive authorization protocol. I'd speculate the iVue compatible versions of IPTV Stalker (i.e., 9.0.18 and 9.0.20) do not send a null serial number and are therefore rejected by the server, and we receive the dreaded "authorization failed" error message.

What an ugly, preventable journey this has been.

Hopefully, IPTV Stalker 9.0.2X can be rolled out quickly. All that would have to be added would be the ability to send a serial number, that being null for the time being. Therefore, those of us who have iVue in our arsenals can continue to use it.

Cant roll back i re-installed as recommended by one of the admins. I am so screwed, I wish there was a reliable service out there and with helpful moderators. This just ridiculous.

This is not correct. The server accepts MACs that do not have a serial number attached to it. It will reject MACs that have random serial numbers attached to it that don't match to what it had recorded. Please review the stickies on how to properly configure IPTV Stalker, and you won't have issues with authentication errors.

Closing this thread. IPTV is not down, and hasn't been. If you are having issues with "authentication" read the stickies, and properly configure your addons.
