Hi guys, now i have this problem! I set up new Kodi 17,3 with Potato addon!!, every thing guide working, but none of the channels working !!??
I get this pop up " HTTP ERROR 401: Unauthorized"
"custom portal" means when one of the 3 supported services (nfps, rocket & iks66) releases a new portal,
which is not covered in the current portal list
e.g. iks66 which only has s1.iptv66.tv release a new portal (s2.iptv66.tv)
Why would you want to..don't get me wrong but one of the major reasons this plugin exists is because The original plugin is now unsupported since most.of th e other guys still use the old one why not use them
So im having a problem here..VOD works..sub is still active..but when i try to watch any channels live..i get this playing
im on 17.3
p1.iptvrocket.tv
with mac
no vpn or provider locked

Potato, i used to see the same picture with a background music when i had the problems last week that you said that maybe was due to the m3u list not updating when the Addon updates many times. In my case that pic was showing on the Simple Client side (TV).

after performing some testings, I finally got the similar issue like yours (maybe?)
and it happened when I tried to watch the iptv with the same account (MAC based @ p1.iptvprivateserver.tv)
using 2 different devices (andro tv box & tablet)
with the 1st device (tv box), I didn't get any issues at all
but when I tried to open a channel with the same account on the 2nd device (tablet),
the kodi refused to open it and played the pattern color test instead
after doing some researches, I knew where the bug might be and I also got the solution
the culprits were:
the first token generated by the 1st device (tv box)
the cache being used by the 2nd device (tablet)
the validation time of the cache file on the 2nd device has not been expired
since it's still valid, the 2nd device won't generate a new token and it choose to use the previous one (stored in the tablet)
although a new token has been changed which was generated by the 1st device (tv box)
the recommended solution:
1. you could try to clear the caches & create a new token thru' the potato addon on the 2nd device
and here's the complete steps:
2. you could also try to change the value of the validation / expiry time of the caches to its minimum one (in hours)
you could also just delete the file ("userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.potatoTV/cache_expired.json")
don't worry, the addon will directly generate a new one
fyi, the next release of the addon will include a new tweak setting for caches' validation time
NOTE:
if I read any comments like "Too much tech information"
the poster will be on top of my priority hunting list!
Through the PotatoTV Video addon, selecting IPTV, and a channel, if the channel is down, you will get the test pattern.
Accessing IPTV the proper way, through the TV Icon (PVR IPTV Simple Client), the same channel will attempt will give you the "Working..." message for about 1 second, then stops and returns you to the guide.
Just FYI

I just reactivated my box today and I'm on the s2.iptv66 server.
The EPG is way off for most of the channels, some EPG data is so off that the show that's on isn't even part of the guide data.
Some just is off by a few hours. I set up the PTV addon exactly the way it's supposed to. The EPG is set to viper as well as my -4 time zone (NY with DST).
I was reading somewhere that the epg for S2.iptv66 isn't correct but the s1 server is. I tried to update my settings to use s1 but got an error from the server when doing so.
I get the "Ther's an error trying to update this Route." message when trying to do it.

time shift = -01:00
(or you could try any value between range: -01:00 and +01:00)
then follow these steps:
FYI:
"+" (plus) and "-" (minus) in EPG Time Shift work like the accelerator & the brake for your car
if your epg is 1 hour too early (faster) then epg time shift = -01:00 (brake)
if your epg is 1 hour too late (slower) then epg time shift = +01:00 (accelerator)

Any errors related to the contents provided either by the stalker (improper tv channels) or by the epg server (improper programmes)
are beyond my control!
I only provide the iptv client which helps you to communicate with the providers (stalker & epg)
Mr. Potato, first thank you for the guide and constant updates. Just Awesome Tool! Been using it since its inception to the masses. Never any major issues, but last couple of days I seem to be missing guide info on some of the UK channels, especially the first 20-25 channels. Have cleared and reset several times no luck. Any thought or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again Champ ��
