I have been using Kodi and IPTV Stalker since it was first released as an addon but I am baffled I cannot seem to get past this failure. I have changed the mac address maybe 15 times now when step by step to see if I may have missed anything. Completely removed and reinstalled Kodi twice but nothing seems to work I still get Authentication Failed. I have even used the built in Stalker Client as well but in that case I at least get Channels unable to Load and past the Authentication error. I need help. I have tried this both on my Tronsmart Vega S89 Elite and on my Windows 10 Laptop with the same results. I keep thinking it has to be me but what I have no idea. I am going to post my setup if it will help.

Active Portal = NFPS
Mac Address = ##:##:##
Time Zone = America/Toronto
Donation = 4##########7
XMLTV File = 72 Hours
Connection Timeout seconds = 30

I am losing it over this I even purchased another donation for another box and nothing seems to be working? Any ideas?

Why would you post your mac address ? we all know the first 3 digits are 00:1a:78 ........you just supplied the last 3 digits for all to see

What good will it do you... you still need the donation code?

Try the latest version of the pvr.stalker.nfps in **********. Reinstalling Kodi doesn't completely remove userdata, you may have delete that folder in your installs after you do an uninstall. Also, instead of just changing your MAC, clear the field and submit to get you donation to show all zeros for the MAC then use a MAC that had worked before.

By the way, leave time zone as what it is in default... it doesn't do anything, and changing it might actually screw things up.

I am using the latest one...was one of the first things I did. Thanks.

Thanks Dara but I still get the Authentication Fail message...this is baffling.

You could bump up the connection time out. If the maximum value won't work, you could make the change in the settings.xml to increase that.

The Authentication Failure happens pretty quick so I don't know what good that would do it says it is retrying but fails again. I will give it a go though who knows.

In general, my experience is when you set up the credentials on your client before you set up the MAC on the donation checker, it should connect. If you are getting the authentication failed message immediately, the server isn't getting what it expects, because it has a different credential stored.

Ok maxed out time...reinstalled Kodi...made sure all user files were gone after uninstall...changed Mac to a working one from prior install...still get same results. I just don't get it. This started a few days ago with an open url problem and it has escalated from there. I hate this cause I have a ton of boxes out there with donations and I can't seem to fix my own.

If you want, you can send me (or any staff) your donation number in a pm, with the mac that you are trying, and I'll see if it would work for me. Usually when I do that it turns out to be something that is a user error of some kind. I can't replicate your exact setup though.

it is better to 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/dara the link to your log file. (this log file contains login details, do not post on the forum)

not alone...exact same happened over here as a few days ago..was all good beforehand with IPTV stalker an pvr stalker - now im waiting patiently for a how-to for IRD emu to go into settings and enter correct info...

was told last nite we wont need to bother with Mac addies anymore BUT i dont see yet how to enter info ..ie; do i get prompted to enter the pass AFTER i configure the portal? or is there a field to enter the userid/pass separate


we shall see...

You still will need a MAC that is linked to your donation. For 'Stalker Client NFPS', you will need to use version 1.0.3, and enter both the last 3 hex groups and your donation.

As far as the STB emu, it's off topic. We should expect to see a popup box in the emulator to ask for the login and password, and you enter your donation/rocket/route there.

I'm working with the OP on his issue over pms. His issue is not with the server access, as I can connect using his donation number and MAC. It's now a configuration issue, we just have to figure out what it is.

ah okay..i thought i was told no need for mac addies, sorry didnt mean to mislead..so, which one of these (in link below) do i load in kodi jarvis rc2 to make life simple?

http://**********/clairvoyance/pvr.stalker.nfps/1.0.3/

Use the 'j' version appropriate to your device. The first two on the list are kodi installs with the 'client nfps' already built in.

Nothing on my setup has been working for about the last hour, stalker client and stb, my guess is the server is down

same for me. immediately i got "stalker connexion error".

Can somebody confirm if the server is down ? ... Because yesterday I got it to work with the STB settings but today no matter what I do is not working , changed MACS , PORTS , SERIALS , etc.. Nothing

Here's the STB Tutorial in case you need it

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YW_modjLNHI

Please be patient they are working on it

Working now

Today is the second day without iptv stalker working Can't fixer.. and no answer from nobody...
Someone have it working yet...k?
I get some subscriptions ( donations ) for some friends and now they want to kill me ...
And I have no answer s?

Right lopez, like almost everyone else, I started getting "Authorization failed. Retrying" notifications before eventually connecting midday yesterday and by mid-afternoon it would not connect at all. I did everything here to make sure that the problem was not on my end, came here, and verified that it was a system wide problem.

I tried several times today and by 10:30 it logged on but was "Unable to load guide". OK, I thought, they are making progress. I reloaded every so often to see if the guide would load and -surprise- by 1pm it was back to "Auth failed" (twice) each time!

I am having trouble understanding why NFPS is having this problem. It was not a surprise; they announced the coming change about two months ago and had to have been planning it longer than that. I can understand why people are losing patience, mine is wearing thin too. They've taken the money for a service that they can't seem to provide. They also suggested that HD channels were coming with the login changes and we have yet to see a single one.

There is nothing we can do but wait and hope.

No one here suggested that. The rumor was started on Youtube and had no validity.

yes markawright2 im getting a similar issue just noticed it yesterday my mx2 andriod box was working with stalker client with donation and mac using the last 6 digits , then when i tried it yesterday it tried to load channles but says..."stalker client autheticaton failed...unable to load channles"..... i was using this client when the nfps one never worked...and i cant even check my doantion cuz now they ask for an order # and the reseller does not have it so i guess im out of luck....any suggestions? thanx.

i guess the problem has to be isolated to iptv because the iks is working fine...first i was getting the authorization failed on the nfps stalker client and that never worked , but the regular stalker client was working fine until yesterday when i noticed as it attempts to load channels then it just says..."stalker client authentication failed unable to load channles" but now i know its not just me... cant check donation because now they ask for order # and reseller does not have it...so may have to get a new donation with an order#.

Ok a bit of self diagnostics. Today i had stalker pvr nfps working flawless on my laptop. But getting "authentication failed" on my mxq box. Now when i click a channel on my laptop it looks like its loading and nothing happens so seems them are working onit.

hey dara could i send you my donation and mac to see if you can help i would appreceiate it thx...

***** servers are being worked on*****


Just seen on another thread.

Mine has been doing the Same thing now for a couple days... It was working fine didn't change anything

ok so i guess we just wait and see... ill post any findings , i guess ill switch to the iks for now...

Server must be down

A couple of hours after my last post pvr.stalker.nfps loaded the channels (but would not load the guide) so I looked through the channels again. It turns out that they have added four Adult HD channels. I assume those are pornography but we'll never know since none of those or any other channels will load/play. None. The way things keep changing must mean that they are indeed working on it.

Now that you mention it, I heard that second hand from a guy who made his donation through a reseller and I believe the reseller has a youtube channel.
I was wrong twice.

Again, waiting and hoping.
