Hi Guys

I like the Potato TV but i'm struggling to get it to work for any length of time before having to do an 'IPTV reset'. Using a Donation (tried the MAC only URL hXXp://YOUR_PORTAL/get.php?username=YOUR_DONATION&password=YOUR_DONATION&type=m3u_plus&output=ts and it doesn't work for me, so must be using MAC and Donation).

Setup MAC address and went through Cronicpain tutorial. Everything works, for a time (mins/hours) using TV in KODI 16.1. I can close KODI and come back later in the day and nothing works. Go into Video Addon/Potato look at IPTV (MAC Error) try generating a new token (MAC Error)

Have to do an IPTV reset which we can only do twice a day.

Also tried the above with MAC only, set MAC to Zeros and use Generic list. Same thing, will work for a while (mins/hours).

Am i missing something? Doing something wrong? No one else seems to be having this issue so i'm guessing it's user error.

cheers

About 2 months ago, I had the same problem occur, but it only did it with 1 portal. Only problem is I cant recall which portal it was (NFPS).
You should change your portal, if you have not tried that yet.
first disable kodi (system settings /TV /General tab - Disable, then clear data cache.
Go to Papiao and change portal then IPTV Reset. (If you are max on the IPTV Reset, change your MAC# by 1 digit. (Fresh Start & no IPTV Reset Req'd).
Change settings in Kodi to new info. Clear data & gen. new token. do auto settings for simple client. Re-enable TV.
