yes you need to install vlc.. the plugin merely allows to play videos within the app instead of switching over to an external player.... live tv should work with the internal player on 5.21, vut VOD wont unless you use VLC or mxplayer.. VLC is prefferred as it makes things look a little better.
[Fire TV General] sandstorm77:
vlc plugin

Does the vlc plug in work on the fire stick?
[Fire TV General] mrhoque:
make sure you enable HW acceleration if you use MX player. otherwise it will not work well.
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
im interested how you guys are downloading the 0.5.21 version.

None of my devices are support so i use http://apps.evozi.com/ but when i download it its version 0.5.19

*Nevermind*

i found it. i update my original post
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
20 channels added

51 channels total now.
[Fire TV General] rbebber:
When I move thru the channel list, stb will auto select the channels if I stop, anyone know if there is a setting to stop this?
[Fire TV General] collindv:

Cannot find Stalker settings

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I cannot see any preview from the right panel and if I click on any channel I see blank screen... is the server down?
[Fire TV General] rbebber:
i dont have stalker settings

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

saw this:

ok, found how to fix this issue with channels automaticlly playing, you must download and install latest version which is: stbemu-googleplay-release-0.5.21.apk

Then in settings under Profile, section called Stalker Settings, click on the check box for Preview and channel will activate only once then only when you press OK.

Now you can view all channel listings without the previous starting the channel.
[Fire TV General] psycon:
its there, scroll down when your in profiles..

i have noticed that this setting only actually works with internal or vlc plugin, and does not work when external player is selected.

how is your guys video quality?

Internal player, i get blocky every 10 seconds or so consitantly.

VLC - no blocks but freezes once a minute.

MXplayer - seems to work the best for me...
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
Fire TV - External - MX Player

Fire TV Stick - External - MX Player

Nexus Player - External - MX Player

Open Hour - VLC Plugin

When i Try internal or vlc for the fire tv it'll work fine for a couple of channel switches and than just crashes. That is why my youtube video was soo generic because its different for different devices.
[Fire TV General] rbebber:
switched mediaplayer to internal and still no stalker settings,

[Fire TV General] lightning413:
I think the stalker settings may only be available on 0.5.21.

What version are you running?
[Fire TV General] psycon:
Try this.

uninstall/reinstall the app use 0.5.21 or newer from http://wiki.stbemu.com/index.php/Download:Archive

then instead of creating a new profile, just edit the test profile , you should see more options.. chang eyour stalker settings then change portal settings to the ip of the test server.
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
you are correct, i just verified that the option doesnt appear on 0.5.18.

1. I recommend you go to settings - Common settings - export all settings

2. Uninstall STB Emulator

3. Download the latest version on the first post of this thread

4. Install the newest version. 0.5.21

5. settings - common settings - import settings
[Fire TV General] rbebber:
Thanks, I ddnt see a newer version was listed on the 1st post.
[Fire TV General] mrhoque:

[Fire TV General] shollywood:
Stalker .8 and LSENGARD

Stalker .8 and LSENGARD

What am I missing?

In setting up keep getting error.

Field 1 change MAC address....pretty straight forward, leave 00:1A:79 then put in whatever you choose.

Field 2 Server address underneath MAC address .......Is this where i put 1.IPTV######### etc?

Do I need to put serial number in? What else am I not entering that needs to go in?
[Fire TV General] vipercoyote:
anyone?
[Fire TV General] mrhoque:
I am also out of the loop for a while.

Can anyone summarize what kodi version and addon needs to be used for epg and vod etc?

[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
Is that for 14.2 or 15.x? I remember you mentioned an issue with the latest for the 15.x kodi. Has that been resolved?
[Fire TV General] psycon:
all new versions of pvr.stalker are for kodi 15 , kodi 14 is only supported up to version 0.6.

yes there is a APK version in my post that works great on the fire TV.. you have to uninstall Kodi frist before installing it.
[Fire TV General] mrhoque:
I used this instruction from # 358. Uninstall kodi from my fire tv and install this kodi. but getting message fail to load channel.

One thing I did is change the time zone inside addon to USA/Phoenix. is that an issue?

Other than this I change the MAC last 6 digit and server http://1.iptvprivateserver.tv

Thats all I did inside addon. Am I missing anything?

I installed the latest Kodi 15 beta 1 and PVR Stalker 0.8.0, got it running and most of the channels are pretty much unwatchable since they keep buffering every 2-3 seconds, is there any way to fix this? It can't be my internet connection, as I average about 85 Mbps and there is no other traffic on my network currently.
[Fire TV General] mrhoque:
KODI 15 worked fine in my smartphone. IS there any touchscreen skin that support this PVR addon?

they all work the same really.

there hasnt been a private server that hasnt worked for me using the stb emulator.
[Fire TV General] luisgspringer:
am I right in thinking if I makes a donation for this before or when it goes paid that it works with both of the stalkers pvr and iptv and that you only need one of these working in order to get the service as long as your donation and mac address are linked correctly,thanks
[Fire TV General] psycon:
Once the trial is over, You only need to make one donation.. you simply set the mac on STB emulator/ or pvr.stalker to match that of your donation.. only 1 device can be online at a time though.
[Fire TV General] FastMhz:
When and where can I donate? I really appreciate everyone's involvement in getting this service to

This may have been asked or talked about already, but I haven't seen anything...

Can I do this (IPTV) with the Fire TV stick, or is it only good for Fire TV?

Thanks
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
I see no reason why not, give it a try.[emoji5]
[Fire TV General] ffd173:
Thanks for the reply, I will give it a try.

One question, how do I install the stb emulator app on the fire stick?
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
There's an app called agkfire that let's you install apks from your phone to the fire tv im not sure if if works with the fire stick but check that out first, or just sideload it.
[Fire TV General] ffd173:
What is the password for adult channels that it asks for? Using the site in the op.
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
0000 or 1234
[Fire TV General] ffd173:
Thanks for all of the help so far. This is working great on my fire tv stick!!

I have one more question. When I try and view an adult channel, the password box comes up. I click on keyboard and I put 0000. When I click submit (on the bottom of the keyboard) it goes back to the password entry box but doesn't show the numbers that I put in. It is just blank. I tried with the keyboard that pops up when I click on the password box and I tried with the Fire Stick remote app on my phone. Both just return me to the screen asking for the password and nothing filled in.

Please help. I know someone here must have had the same issue. It's probably just something that I am overlooking.

Thanks!
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
Which method is actually working and is there a step by step guide? Some of the Methods in OP are kind of vague? Download and install setup what you like??

sorry for sounding like a noob which I'm not. I simply can't tell which of the methods are actually being used to get Live TV working in Kodi? I already have iptv stalker installed by can't setup the TV Guide for it.

Kodi 15 has been updated. to beta 2.. which includes the latest version of pvr.stalker (0.8)

Simply remove your current version then install Kodi 15 beta 2.

Then...

--------------------------------HOW TO set up NFPS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you install any version above.. (it is assumed you know how to get this far, if not, google is your friend)

1. Go to settings > Addons > My Addons > PVR > Stalker and set your MAC to the MAC you linked to your Donation... If you have not linked one yet, make one up in the format of 00:1A:79:XX:XX:XX (XX = RANDOM hex characters 0-9 A-F - be creative here )

2. Set server to http://1.iptvprivateserver.tv

3. scroll down and set XMLTV to Preferred and Remote URL to http://is.gd/NFPSF (full) or http://is.gd/NFPSE (English mostly) [if you are in a area that does

not

observe daylite savings use NFPSED or NFPSFD or your guide will be off by an hour.]

4. Go to settings > Addons > My Addons > PVR > Hit menu button on Stalker plugin and enable.

5. Go to settings >TV and enable

6. Restart Kodi.

***NOTE***: If you ever make changes in the stalker plugin.. or the channel lineup changes. go into settings >TV and choose "Clear Data" and restart Kodi as soon as its done (before it starts reloading channels)

*NOTE 2* . make sure this is the only PVR client enabled or you may have issues connecting.

[Fire TV General] westc0ast:
constant buffering

i get constant buffering from both (iptv stalker) and pvr client. unless i put my fire tv in the "PassThrough Mac Addresses" list.

it works perfect when in the list but then the fire tv is no longer in my home network,so i cannot access it nor can i access my nas from it,there must be a port forward or some thing someone knows about that can fix this buffering issue when the fire tv is not in the PassThrough Mac Addresses list.
[Fire TV General] ffd173:
Is the VOD working for anyone? It has not worked for me since last week. Every time I try and play one it says "file not available". I've tried a bunch of them. Any ideas? Thanks.

i think this is the same issue i am having.

not sure what router/modem you have but try "PassThrough Mac Addresses"
[Fire TV General] sont77:
vlc thank you
[Fire TV General] artkrime:
Thanks for the idea! I didn't think the router had anything to do with it but there is actually an IPTV setting in the router, I enabled the multicast setting and tested 2 channels with no issue, need to test it out further but I think that solved it! BTW, I have an Asus RT-N66R in case anyone else has this issue.
[Fire TV General] westc0ast:
Sweet keep us posted.
[Fire TV General] vipercoyote:
So basically with using this method, no mag box is needed now correct?
[Fire TV General] ffd173:
Correct!
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
Ahh I see, I haven't been having any problems but I did a firmware update to my router recently and in the changelog it had something about multicast and IPTV. I think its enabled by default.
[Fire TV General] artkrime:
Since I enabled multicast it got rid of the constant buffering every 2-3 seconds. Definitely the cause of this issue at least for my setup. Wife is happy now.
[Fire TV General] Superdad_98:
Hi,

Im using kodi 15b2, since yesterday the pvr stalker client returning error unable to load channels, is the free trial over?
[Fire TV General] jcsww:
No, but the stalker client seems to be having issues loading before it tines out. You can edit your C:\Users\*your user name*\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\pvr.stalker\settings.xml to increase it to 75, which should solve the issue. Make sure you back up this file first though as you can easily break your Kodi install by editing the time out setting outside of what the plugin allows.
[Fire TV General] Superdad_98:
Thank you very much for the tip that worked great on windows, but I could not find where it can be done on an android device, I tried looking under android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files but that folder is empty
[Fire TV General] jcsww:
I have no clue how to fix that issue on Android. If I end up finding the solution, I will post it.
[Fire TV General] psycon:
The solution is the same on android.. Install ES file explorer.. In ES, enable hidden files and oflders in settings..... then go to /android/data/files/org.xbmc.Kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr .stalker/settings.xml

view the file then hit menu to edit.
[Fire TV General] Superdad_98:
Thanks a lot for the tip on es file explorer, worked like a charm
[Fire TV General] silverknight921:
I just read today the free trial ends on July 15th. You can read the news on their website for more details.
[Fire TV General] silverknight921:
Anyone tried VIBE with Stb emulator?
[Fire TV General] vipercoyote:
Can you post their website?
[Fire TV General] vipercoyote:
Yea Im going to use ilive. I think they have HD channels. Overtime we ask about HD channels for itv they run around the question..
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
what is the website for ilive? Try out a month and let us know. Plenty of website claim "HD" but their feeds are SD at best. Ive tested a website called StreamLive.to once and their streams didnt lag but the quality of their HD/HQ streams were really bad.

Until NFPS IPTV Server are officially out than it doesnt really bother me if they offer HD. These guys are the real thing, they were one of the first, if not the first to start using IKS (in the states) years before nagra3 was deployed. So i know they have the knowledge to sustain a reliable network for many years.
[Fire TV General] vipercoyote:
streamlive is ilive.. same thing. I thought they had HD quality do they not?

I have a xfinity subscription from a friend. I download the android app to fire tv an logged in and Im able to get prem live channels in HD

IPTV STALKER BREAKING NEWS (MUST WATCH)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HpWcQS2X7w
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
okay lets nip this in the butt before it gets out of control.

The people that are getting sued were resellers using paypal, YOU NEVER USE paypal as they hand over your information with a request from authorities. The people sued were using the IKS service NOT the IPTV service, IPTV is what you see with iptv stalker. IKS and IPTV are different technologies and im not to sure were iptv stands as each country has different laws. IKS was used to decrypt the Dish Network Signal which made it illegal, IPTV comes decrypted so you (the user) arent breaking any encryption.

Im not saying that its impossible to get sued, but upon further research on the links cpugeeker was providing i am simply pointing out flaws in the statements made.
[Fire TV General] reaney17:
Right so my fire box has just landed on my doorstep. It's not even been switched on yet. Anyone guide me with what I need to do, to get the IPTV running.

What do I actually need to install for the best results
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
Read the first post thoroughly.
[Fire TV General] jcsww:
Completely wrong! The service is working perfectly fine here all but the odd channel. The person's video you linked to seems to be a troll spreading misinformation as they are confusing two very different types of service for very different reasons.
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
Also watch the vid in the op, if I can do it surely you can [emoji4] . I Also prefer to use stb emulator than the kodi clients.
[Fire TV General] psycon:
first thing.. satscams is a site set up by anti-piracy lobbyists... it is meant to put fear into potential IKS/IPTV users, nothing more..

seconds. dont ever use paypal to pay for a donation.. go get a prepaid visa from the grocery store and use that to pay, do not use your regular email or name anywhere..

three, the fines mentioned on the satscam site have nothing to do with IPTV, they are mentioning IKS services... the server has not even gone paid yet, the guy who made the video is a noob.

lastly, depending on where you live. some IPTV services may not be legal.. its up to you to prevent forest fires.. Wait thats the wrong PSA... oh yeah. use at your own risk.. I know some who have used NFPS IKS services for years and years without an issue..

[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
Is it still possible to donate even they've gone love?
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
yes, you can still purchase NFPS IPTV from their official site if you wish to use them as your provider. They have really competitive rates, $80 for the year. But their HD content is lacking.

Tons of choices out there but you have to do some digging to find some private servers. and please dont ask me as i will not reply to any questions asking for private servers.
[Fire TV General] Squalll13:
I have a stupid question.

When I found out thag they were private, I didnt think of it much. Just "Well, glad I got free stuff for a while". But when I followed a guide in the iptvtalk forums in using pvr.stalker, I'm still able to get a good amount of channels

Why is that?

[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
Do you have a paid service because nothing for me is working, kodi, stb emulator nothing.
[Fire TV General] tevil:
I didnt know it went paid. I just saw my brothers and friends setup on their fire stick like 2 days ago (they bought theirs setup from someone) and I know theyre not paying for anything. I decided Ive modded and rooted enough stuff to do it myself.
