guys the serial error has been worked out!!!!

[crawlers1977]

i didnt of it till today after finishing every thing on offer to authentacte my mac and serial its not working for us kodi users in fact for best part of them that had to register with a mac 00:1a:79 ive just changed my mac back to the original along with the made up serial,device ID,device id_2,signature.
this is why we are recieving so much errors regarding the serial being added just leave your made up serials return to papiao change your mac from 78 to 79 make sure you test that its ready for the server and then change the mac in IPTV STALKER and load up the addon i never got 1 error. and i can confirm the pvr fires straight and is running smooth

[Laslo]

Gave it a try, changing 78 to 79. but I get the same old "unable to load channels." Someone else thought the answer was to have the last place holder in the serial be an alpha character. I tried that recommendation but to no avail.

[psycon]

i am having no issues with 78 MAC addresses..

[Laslo]

Many people get nothing but "unable to load channels" no matter how things are configured, so when someone suggests he/she has the answer, we give it a try.

[crawlers1977]

the serial code has nothing to do with the mac m8, the mac your using enter papiao change the mac so your mac isnt attached to any donation make sure iptv stalker is turned off leave the mac and serial you want to use already setdont bother with pvr at this point as the pvr only works if stalker iptv works, change your mac back to the mac your using it should be set in kodi ready to go when you change back to the mac your using give it a few minutes just to get set in papiao servers properly then start iptv stalker dont enter turn off kodi and restart this all i did only i set the serial and and mac while my mac was 79 not 78

[Laslo]

No where did I say the serial number has anything to do with the MAC. I know that. IPTV Stalker is running fine here. I cannot get the PVR to work. Many people can't get the PVR to work.

[crawlers1977]

psycon if your having issues with 78 it means the serial or lack of just send being enabled would not let me activate no matter what i did, im running stalker 9.0.21 pvr is the built in to kodi i changed versions to 15.2 release/stable. setup iptv with these steps
1,mac address 00:1a:79:xx:xx:xx
using mixture of numbers and letters i made 4 different 13 digit long serials..
7dh45s64ks85j
n49sh40sk521n
g48dj49wj38sa
6wh348e90v05
once them were added to stalker i stopped the server went to papiao changed my mac only FROM 00:1a:78:xx:xx:xx TO 00:1a:79:xx:xx:xx without clearing any cache in kodi confirmmyour mac with papiao that its changed ok.
restart server on stalker iptv dont enter close kodi and restart then just make sure the settings are still the same try opening NFPS and entrer a channel i had no errors at all entering the section the channel played without issues.
the turn off server stalker iptv change the mac back to 78 inside papiao just give it a minute or 2 then recheck your macs activate and not still ready for donation. restart the iptv portal close kodi and restart it you will now be able to view the channels just make sure in pvr skip the first option "token" place your serials in the boxes i have 4 different serials so i coulodnt even get a error saying mixmatch again no clearing cache just start pvr then enable live tv even if you get an error just close kodi restart by live tv enable dont use pvr to start it up i never got an error when i restarted kodi and its all running fantastic

is your stalker iptv running without a serial just having send serial because if so and you dont have a serial in the boxes you wont get pvr to run the 4 boxes must match stalker iptv just having it set to send erial wont work

[Bkman2020]

I did follow every instruction as well still get cannot load channels on kodi.I have gotten tired of trying to im sticking to iptv-set top box emu app.

[Roach46]

i am having no issues with 78 MAC addresses..

same here............

[Lowteck]

I thought that the 00:1A:79 was for the two brands of Mag and AVOV. The 00:1A:78 is for all the other boxes that require KODI. By using the 79 for KODI instead of 78 you are going to rob a future owner of a Mag or AVOV of their mac address requiring them to send a photo of their mac address and causing you a lot of problems in the future. So if using KODI to use stalker 9.0.21 then use the 78 as instructed by the staff.

Yep you are correct. Anyone that is using the 79 address for the Stalker Clients and EMUs will at some point loose their TV. Of course then they will com here and complain about it because they could not follow instructions.

[Marley]

its not ez for some but the more you read and ask you will get it going

[Bkman2020]

Well what is strange is the video plugin iptvvstalker populated but when i tried iptvstalker says no channels error.

[Bkman2020]

Hopefully we can see a fix for this issue.

[Laslo]

Of course then they will com here and complain about it because they could not follow instructions.

Your arrogant, condescending answer doesn't help anyone! Most people can follow directions. The problem is when the directions are followed and the result isn't as intended.

Let's say we try...

1. Delete settings.xml in IPTV Stalker plugin
2. Get new MAC
3. Start IPTV Stalker 9.0.21
4. Add new MAC
5. Add 13 digit Serial Number
6. Add 4 digit Device 1 ID
7. Add 4 digit Device 2 ID
8. Add 8 digit Signature
9. Start IPTV Stalker
10. Receive Authorization Failed

I tried that about 10 times with the same result.

I then uninstalled IPTV Stalker, Cleared System Cache, Exited and Restarted Kodi

1. Install IPTV Stalker 9.0.21
2. Get new MAC
3. Start IPTV Stalker 9.0.21
4. Add new MAC
5. Add 13 digit Serial Number
6. Add 4 digit Device 1 ID
7. Add 4 digit Device 2 ID
8. Add 8 digit Signature
9. Start IPTV Stalker
10. Receive Authorization Failed

Otherwise, Kodi is operating perfectly. If I disable Custom Serial Number, IPTV Stalker runs perfectly. Yes, it may be sending hashes, and my MAC could be hijacked, but at least it is running, and I can watch TV.

Loads of people are doing this because the instructions don't work for them. They quit in exasperation and continue to watch TV.

By the way...

Yep, [comma necessary] you are correct. Anyone who [not that] is using the 79 address for the Stalker Clients and EMUs will at some point lose [not loose] their TV. Of course, [comma necessary] then they will come [not com] here and complain about it because they could not follow instructions.

[Bkman2020]

I think this is just a work around when the service first started was simple,so hopefully we can get a simple solution to the problem or there will be pissed off ivue customers.So the question is why is so hard to just gt kodi running ?

[dara]

@Laslo, there is no need for that attitude here. You are warned.

Try this... make sure you have no other IPTV Stalker versions or clones in your setup. Look in the file structure for the addons directory. If it isn't inconvenient, try a complete uninstall of Kodi and reinstall, and at first just install IPTV Stalker.

Others have used more than just plain numbers for their serials and other credentials. Make sure they have letters as well.

I'll say this about using the 79 prefix if you are not using a dedicated box. The word from the server guys is they don't want people that aren't on those boxes to use it, but for some reason, it may still work if you properly setup the customized serial numbers. It may work, but there is a chance that someone that is assigned that MAC will actually need it, so you will lose it. Also if you can connect without a serial number, with using either 78 or 79 prefixes, well, there is a glitch that allowed it. So, if it works, don't mess with it, but don't even bother mentioning it here... you setup is not correct and you will be told as so, and eventually it will stop working, when the server does its maintenance, or they catch up with that glitch.

[Bkman2020]

Well i have tryed everything in the book so i will wait till there is another solution to fix this issue,thanks for the help guys.

[Laslo]

I have tried every combination of alphanumeric characters for the serial number and device ids but to no avail. I have thoroughly scoured the installation. There is nothing installed that should be causing the issue. At this point, I do not want to ditch the current, otherwise flawless Kodi install, in the hopes that will be the answer. Like Bkman, I will take a wait and see strategy.

The problem seems pretty widespread, and it doesn't appear to be related to people being too dimwitted to follow simple steps...

I don't apologize for my remarks. The issue was rudeness and arrogance on Alucard's part. If he is allowed to dish it out on the forum, it should be alright to respond in kind.

[dara]

I will not tolerate anyone calling anyone else out on this site. Alucard's comment was not directed at you, but you directed the comment at him. He is offering a solution, and if you chose not to follow it, its on you. I know you are frustrated, but you have other options than IPTV Stalker.

I don't know what the issue is on your side, it may a misplaced blank, or maybe something in one of Kodi's database files. You could just backup your Kodi "special" folder by changing the folder name, then bring it back if the uninstall/reinstall solution doesn't work.

[Hipster]

People really have to think twice before getting this service. It isn't anywhere near what was promised. There are many buffering, freezing and dead channel issues. The server security meltdown was a nightmare. Customer support here is almost non-existent. (The battle cry, "It's always the customer's fault.") Now customers like me who are only able to gain access via one means will be frozen out. Yikes!

[dara]

Hipster, I reviewed your posting record, and no where does it ask for any help... all you done is complain. If you have an issue with PVR Stalker, post a question in the proper forum, and you will get help, if you are willing to accept it and someone is willing to assist. Mods aren't paid, so we don't actually have to help anyone here, especially with those who do have an attitude. As far as your complaints about the service itself, you are making a lot of assumptions that many people are like you, and it just isn't that way. Streaming is not perfect, and for all I know is that you haven't even tried to fix it on your end.

[Bkman2020]

Dara is right, there are other ways of getting the service through different device software and also we do not see any threads with you requesting help, thanks

[Sanford]

First I always use 79 mac address on my android...why? because it works the best. I don't get authorization failed at all and I do with 78. Its not my problem if some mag person down the road gets screwed, that's the problem of the guys who made nfps iptv. Also you might want to note that the people stealing mac addresses to run iptv don't actually need to steal anyones mac address (as stated on a youtube video) and it works I"ve tried it. Works pretty damned good. The only freezing on it is when everyone freezes mostly on popular new episodes of shows. The people running the servers have some serious issues to address and blaming the people on this site who are buying iptv is just plane bad business.

[Hipster]

I didn't come here to post threads. I came here to get an answer. My problem is the same as that of other people. I tried following the instructions over and over again and all I ever get is Auth Failure. Why ask the same question over and over again?

What I know now is my access will be denied soon. I think when people are shut out from their legitimate access there will be a sh*t storm, and there should be.

They won't give you answers. What they will do is blame you. I wouldn't bother with a serial number if it works better without one. Its up to them to fix there security and its not up to you the consumer to jump through hoops.

[K00lKatT]

not using the 78 protocol on the your device will inevitably lead to you being blocked. You have been told this, the providers request is not unreasonable. So do as you will, you have been warned.

Hey if that happens then I"ll change it until then screw it, I'll use what I want to.

[K00lKatT]

[B]You act as a child throwing a temper tantrum, are you stamping your feet??...refusal to use correct protocols for our service only causes more problems, for you and others. It's unfortunate you have some disability against learning new things. Consider this a warning for your attitude. I won't be giving many more, thks

You are the one that said that "Customer support is almost non-existent". We can't help you if you don't participate. Maybe there is something that you just don't have quite right. It could be that your ISP is blocking you. I know for sure that the steps listed in the tutorials work for clean installs for most people. Above all this, there has never been a guarantee of 100% QOS, so if you are looking for that, you know were it is. I'm not defending the server itself, but the issues you state are not common, if you look at the size of the user base. If you want to move on, maybe an e-mail to the server operators might be the ticket.

This thread has run its course, and if you still have issues, start a thread in the appropriate area.
