IPTV PVR stalker client suddenly stopped working and getting authentication failed

[jillianl]

I have had this up and running now for over 1 month on kodi version 17. All of a sudden yesterday, I got the dreaded authentication failed. No problem I thought....Here is what I have tried so far:

1. Did an IPTV reset.....did not work
2. changed the mac address on the portal and on the box, did an iptv reset....still does not work
3. Changed the serial number, device id etc....still does not work (yes, I did an IPTV reset)
4. Okay at this point, lets get serious, uninstalled kodi completely and reinstalled, reconfigured....still does not work.
5. Set the mac address back to 00's on the web site...did an ip rest.....waited, reset the mac address to one that was working for the last month, IPTV reset....you guessed it, failed
6. Set up my mag 254 box, changed the MAC address on the server, and the mag 254 works fine.
7. Did one more last ditch effort, changed mac address etc serial number, deleted cached info in tv settings, restarted kodi.....no love there either.
8. Decide what the heck for now I'll just use the mag 254 (although I like the guide better on the iptv pvr), and go figure, I have done my max searches on the rocket site, so now I can't even use the mag 254.

Anybody have any other troubleshooting steps I can try?

Hi,

That makes two of us.

I bought an account three days ago and try to run the Stalker client (Jamal Eday -2.8.3) on kodi version 17.
I did exactly the same steps and the only response i get is authentication denied.

glad to see I am not the only one. What is strange is that this was working fine for about 1 month and then just stopped. I know the account is good as it works on the mag 254. hopefully someone will have some insight. By the way, same version as you and it was working.

Update, I was able to get this working today after reading other posts:

1. I 00 out the mac address again on the website then put in my working mac address. Then did an IPTV reset
2. made sure iptv pvr stalker client was disabled
3. In the configuration, validated the MAC address matched what was on the website
4. Used the following NEW url http://p1.iptvrocket.tv/c/
5. Changed the device id
6. Cleared the data in in the PVR TV settings
7. Exited out of Kodi
8. Launched Kodi and enabled the IPTV pvr stalker client

I was able to successfully authenticate and download the guide as well

Hope this helps other people

Hi,

Thans for the info! I tried exactly as you described on my tablet and firetv stick but i get the same
error message: authentication failed, retrying.

i'm really going to think there is something wrong with my account.

Follow the directions below but first: Disable PVR Stalker client (or make sure it is disabled). Shut down Kodi. Go to the Donation Checker and issue an IPTV Reset. Wait at least 15 minutes and then restart Kodi, but do not enable the PVR Stalker client yet. Follow the directions as you configure the disabled PVR Stalker client. Once the configuration is completed exactly according to the directions, enable PVR Stalker client.

Hi,

Thanks for the very detailed information. I must be stupid but i cannot make it work.

I changed the MAC, waited 15 minutes. Then i did a reset and waited again 15 minutes.

After that i installed Kodi 17.1 and configured the PVR stalker plugin exactly as described in the tutorial, did a restart from Kodi, cleared data and enabled the plugin.
after about 10 secs i got again an authentication failed retrying.

As portal URL i used http://mw1.iptv66.tv/stalker_portal/c/index.html and as user/pass both my 4919xxxxx number (what is not my order number).

i have no idea what else i can try.

Did you do an IPTV Reset after you changed URL?

I'm not certain that if URL is working yet. I did see some evidence it wasn't, but I'm not absolutely certain.

Hi,

I'm not quite sure if i did a reset after i changed the URL.
At least now i have to wait again 24 hours to be able to
perform a reset...
