IPTV PVR stalker client suddenly stopped working and getting authentication failed

[karel]

Fine that it works. I don't know what's the most essential step in this. I have OSMC at my Pi (latest version).

Both of you guys are using RPi's? I'm asking because I'm trying to get a route going on a AFTV but no go, my Pi's and another AFTV are working just fine.

Thanks karel, your steps got me going on my PC booting to the Linux OS after days of frustration. I replaced my MAC, serial, devices etc with new data and bingo.

The same steps and configuration on Windows 10 still gives me the dreaded "Authentication Failure", so there may be something about the Windoze OS that is killing Stalker. Just another reason to hate that company.

I wonder if those steps will work on AFTV, time to check it out. Did you replace the MAC with all 00 or you just left it blank?

For Stalker Client to work you need to set a real MAC.

While you need to set the MAC to blank if you're looking to stream to VLC or Simple Client, once you have downloaded the .m3u list you must go back to a real MAC that matches your Stalker config. The .m3u method will still work.

I did change the MAC to 00:00:00:00:00:00 then I did a reset and it works with built in Stalker Client on SPMC 16.6

Worked once that's about it... Again I'm getting that dreaded "Authentication Failed, Retrying"

Dara closed my thread for some reason. I never get authentication error but now it only plays 5 minutes before freezing.

Have to exit and restart. I will try to set a proper Mac on Stalker and update my rocket with it.

Indeed I also put a mac-adres 00:00:00:00:00:00. I forget to mention this, because I also get the authentication error after I did this. It is turns out to be a part of the solution, together with the other staps mentioned before and summarized in http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?2...303#post182303
