help iptv authorization failure after update to 9.0.19

Sorry about that. I'll change it.

Actually, the addon should accept lowercase letters, because it transforms them to uppercase to talk to the server. I'll test it to see what's up, but I use lower case letters all the time with the addon.

How come none of my posts are showing? Ah this one did

OK sussed it. You MUST delete the XML file first or if you stick a new mac addy in the kodi settings it compromises it . Meaning you have to change the Mac addy once again

Any ways i now have working on several devices in my house. And it also works at the same time with different channels playing at the same time. So happy days.

Happens to me too, but I usually blame myself (like hitting cancel instead of post)

I'll summarize the steps necessary to not have the authorization fail. You need to have a current donation/rocket/route... if you got a MAC only from a reseller, go to back to that person for support.

1. Go to the donation checker for the service that you have and modify your current MAC. Your first 6 digits are 00:1A:78, and modify one or two of the last six digits and save. If it doesn't take, try a different MAC.
2. In Kodi, go to File Manager, select Profile directory, addon_data, plugin.video.stalker and delete settings.xml
3. Go to the settings for IPTV Stalker, and enter the new mac in your appropriate portal. Those who are got this addon automatically were using the iVue repo, so you will also need to put the mac in Portal 1.

That should be it. If you still get the error, repeat steps 1 and 3. You should also be able to use the new MAC in PVR Stalker, the STB Emu and the Official Android Emulator. If you have a MAG, you shouldn't be using its MAC on the Kodi apps, because you can't change it, however, if you can make it work, good for you!

Dara -- before I start, I just want to be sure.
I've previously had to change my MAC address when deleting IPVStalker .20 -- and gone back to .1.8

will I have to follow these steps again, to go to the new update from .1.8 -- or will it just work?

It should work.

Having same issue again with authorization failure. Should i change mac address again?

Make sure you have PVR Stalker disabled. Try it after an hour or so... if it comes back, it maybe because its already in use by someone else.
