Able to get channel list, some channels working most are black screen

Change the player in stb emulator to Ijk players that should fix it

@Farmer1
Thanks for the suggestion, but I can confirm I'm using my route number as *both* the username and password. I don't believe you can not do this correctly without "Error" appearing no the login dialogue.


@big dady
Switching to IJK player has not made the channels work. It did make the channels that were working, become audio-only ,i.e. they now have no picture just audio.


I will try installing STBemu into Bluestack, so that I can run Wireshark on the same system and extract the stream URLs and see if there is any further diagnosis I can do.


If I cannot find anything else from my end, I will have to go to another IPTV service and see how I go. I can't waste 2 days on trying to get an IPTV service working. To my critical eye, there has to be some difference between the channels that do work vs the ones that don't. There are two possibilties, i) the streams are dead (whether this is server or somewhere inbetween) or ii) there is a difference between the streams that work vs the ones that don't. Just trying stuff out without any information is not a technical solution.


I appreciate a group of guys are running this as a hobby, but it would make a lot of sense to be logging debugging information for all connections so that at least some analysis can be done from the server end. That would save a lot of time for your clients and avoid frustration on both sides.

In the last 30 minutes a lot of the channels have started to work (not all of them). I can confirm that I have done nothing on my end. I have not changed any of the settings.​

thats cool
thnx for the reports.

[monki]

Nothing is more annoying than when someone doesn't follow up/through on their forum postings.

@monki what did you do? cause I have same problem with channels, I can watch VOD, tested all players with same results.



UPD:

I downloaded free version from play store and worked perfect for some reason the one that I downloaded for NFPS from here hxxp://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?24620-New-release-v0-9 didn't work. Maybe cause that one doesn't have Device ID option to check Use MAC-based device ID and Send Device ID those two options were the only settings I was missing.
Also I had to enter Username and Pass for the NFPS every time I opened the app with the free the version once everything setup I don't have to do it over and over.

@Inter95 - I didn't do anything beyond the normal setup.

It seems the channels were down. I still don't have all of them, and several are giving me buffering issues - again not from my end, I am pulling about 1.5 - 2.0 mbits, and I have plenty more available bandwidth.

Unfortunately with no tools to troubleshoot, it's just fumbling around in the dark - and there is always the risk you changed something that just happens to be around the same time something else (external) happened.

I'm trying it out with Kodi at the moment, as the STBemu app seems a little flaky - i'd be interested to know if that MAG boxes have issues too. FYI with Kodi I'm using the PVR Stalker plugin which comes with it. It is working reasonably well, apart from the regularly breaks for buffering.
