    Android IPTV STB Emulator

    This topic is for those who want to test the new IPTV services while waiting for a great compromise box. To get this, here is the link for the app on the google play store:

    Code:
     https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vasilchmax
    Here is the archive of all but the latest version of the apk:

    Here is the STBemu release thread for a link to the current apk, if you can't get it on the google play:

    Specific modifications to run the a server (subject to modification)

    - modify the following settings in the STB Emulator:

    1) Common settings: App language to English

    2) Profiles>Portal
    a - STB Model: Select MAG 250
    b - Portal Settings: Portal URL to correct server
    Code:
    NFPS:  http://11.iptvprivateserver.tv
    Rocket:  http://11.iptvrocket.tv
    IPTV66:  http://66.iptv66.tv
    c - MAC-address: 00:1A:78:##:##:## changing the # to hexdigits of your last six of your device

    - Note1: This MAC has to be associated with your paid donation/rocket/route. If you don't have one of these, this site recommends: http://iptvrocket.is

    - Note2: The last six digits are to your choosing, between 0-9, A-F. Be sufficiently random, do not pick obvious sequences like 12:34:56, or 22:22:22. If you do, and are successful, you are liable for someone taking your MAC, and broadcasting it across the internet as a valid number.

    - Note3: Visit the following sites to link your MAC
    Code:
    NFPS - https://papiao.is/main/search_nfps
    Rocket - https://papiao.is/main/search_rocket
    IPTV66 - https://iks66.tv/main/search/
    d - Stalker settings, check Play in preview only by OK. (Stops autoplay)

    - If you are running the emulator with an Android Emulator, you need to install an external video player within Android and enabling it by selecting external player as the mediaplayer in the 'three-dot' menu in the top far right screen corner. MX player and XMTV player are possible options (XMTV works best for me). If you are running the emulator on an Android box, the external player is recommended if you cant get the VLC plugins or internal player to work properly.

    Android Emulators for Windows:
    - Bluestacks seems to be the easiest PC program to run the STB emulator. It runs Android applications
    but doesn't emulate a true Android environment. You will be asked to add programs to run it for free.
    Code:
     www.bluestacks.com
    - Andy also works with the STB emulator. This program requires some more configuration and is a resource hog as it runs a virtual machine in the Windows environment.
    Code:
     www.andyroid.net

    Wondered if it could be done on a Mac or other computers, so I did some digging around, but haven't decided to try it yet.

    Here is what I've found so far after doing a google on "run android on Mac"

    How To Run Android Apps in Chrome on Mac / Linux ...
    HTML Code:
    http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/run-android-apps-chrome-mac-linux-windows/
    Hack runs Android apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers
    HTML Code:

    Youtube: Run Any Android App Inside Chrome On Any OS (Win , Linux , Mac)
    HTML Code:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVzohZ3bZN8
    Since Macs can run linux, although I haven't done the research yet, I don't see why Macs couldn't run android on Parallels Desktop or other platform emulations. This might workout nicely for media centers.

    I hope someone will take this up and report there outcome.

    I'm having lots of problems running the emulator on my PC using Andy and BlueStacks. The problems are with getting the profiles set up, and with the emulator not correctly syncing to the PC'S android emulator (Andy).

    Unless you are venturesome, its not a good solution for a FreeTV type... only for real testers.

    Thank you Dara, it works good here, on the pc I got to exit the emulator everytime I got to go to a different movie. Definitly it's a very good way to install and test the service on any android box or a pc.
    I was hoping maybe there is a way to do it on kodi.

    date, which PC emulator are you using? I can't figure out a keyboard command to access the STB emulator menu. I'm using Windows 8.1, so that may be a problem also.

    I have downloaded the bluestacks then through it downloaded the stb emulator then from there I have setup the url for the trial and changes the last three set of the mac address on the emulator to anything yo like then exit then re enter now all should be good for you.
    Note: don't worry about the model if it says mag from 254-270 models this software will work everywhere it could downloaded.
    Thank you for your help.

    Remember each time you need to watch a different movie you got to exit and re enter.
