For those who arent aware you can watch live tv from a number of locations using something called IPTV, now normally this requires an IPTV Receiver (mag250, mag254 and avov) but using your current android device (yes this works for all the android boxes i have) and an application called STB Emulator you can achieve same service without needing to purchase additonal hardware.

1. Download STB Emulator 0.5.22

2. If you want the ability to preview the channel before making it full screen use the VLC plugin method, Even though in my experience this crashes more often. Use External Player with MX PLayer for best results

If you want to choose external player download and install MX Player

If you use VLC plugin for media playback make sure to install VLC.

3. Follow my youtube video

4. I know in the video i said tv_ssytem_res for the resolution but choose 1280x720 so everything displays correctly on the Fire TV

STB Emulator working on a another service

STB Emulator working on a mexican service
[Nexus Player General] Lokke9191:
Will this allow me to watch channels such as cbs live?
[Nexus Player General] trancen:
You will need a subscription. This emulator is mostly used for paid iptv services unless you plan on setting up your own server to connect too. I run a subscription service using this MAG250 boxes and this emulator as well. To answer your question. About CBS. Online if you setup your own server, find CBS feeds and put it into the Stalker Server. AS-IS now, the emulator comes with no channels.
[Nexus Player General] kaess:
Can you provide a list of paid IPTV services for U.S. customers?
[Nexus Player General] enfox:
When I select the settings menu item it says that the action is not supported on Android KitKat yet.
[Nexus Player General] mejdam:
try the latest version. its 0.5.21 now
[Nexus Player General] tmanoharan:
Nexus Player set up using Kodi and IPTV Stalker

Can we configure your IPTV Stalker and Channel listing using Kodi ? What is the cost of Subscription for a year ?

DO I get all the NFL games, Tennis and SKy Sports without problem ?

Last time i had similar service with somebody provider, always NFL and sports network is down. I never got to see the games when live match was going on.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombiej79:
How hard would it be to port a ROM over? Got my Z3 rooted and would like to do some tweaking does supercharger work on z3 or any other mods?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] darth_skater:
Hello, I have rooted (s-on) my Htc one m8 Harmon/Kardon edition. I have seen a lot of threads and guides showing how to do this but none of them seem to apply to my specific cid, which is SPCS_004. I haven't been able to find any compatible nandroid backups. I think maybe im just in over my head and I don't want to mess anything up....can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] darth_skater:
Just to be clear, I have installed a custom rom and I am now wanting to go back to the original stock rom.....and also the stock recovery if possible so I can install OTA updates.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
RUU is the easiest way to return to stock
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] darth_skater:
So if i just run that, i will be completely back to stock? and if I have the hk model, it is definitely compatible?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Yes it will wipe your phone just like it came from the factory, so backup anything important to your PC.

Yes there a HK RUU's and non HK RUU's in the thread I linked.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] weidnerj:
You can download the RUU directly from HTC:

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/

It is located at the bottom of the page. But you might want to wait a few days and download the Lollipop RUU when it releases. It will replace the current KK version once approved and FOTA is pushed out.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] darth_skater:
It threw me an error. ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR the ROM update utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again. This is what I was trying to avoid. Now my phone won't boot at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Here are some things to try.

Did you re-lock your bootloader?

Try a different USB port (USB2 work best)

Try a different PC.

To get back to bootloader press power vol up until the screen turns black then hold vol down.

If you know how to use adb/fastboot commands you can open a cmd and type

fastboot reboot-bootloader
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] darth_skater:
I did not re lock my bootloader. I tried a different usb port, with no luck. I don't have another PC to try it with. What should I do to at least get my phone working in the meantime? even if it isn't stock? Can I just flash a rom through recovery?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
If you are s-on you have to re-lock the bootloader for it to work.

You should be able to flash a rom thru recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] darth_skater:
I AM BACK IN BUSINESS! Thank you so much for your help.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Glad I could help :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepan124:
I keep getting the error "unfortunately com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has stopped"

how do i fix this
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeanss:
Have you flashed/installed anything recently that could conflict with the app?

Try wiping the app data in Settings and see where that gets you.

If not try wiping Cache/Dalvik from recovery and if you're still having no luck with it, try a factory reset!

Hope I helped,

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepan124:
I installed puzzles and dragons, and all of a sudden its been acting up, I wiped cache from recovery, no go :(

EDIT: I found the cause, it was the update for Chrome :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeanss:
I personally would just delete it from

Using a root file manager (depending on where you have it installed), and re-installing it from the Play Store.

You could also try uninstalling the puzzles and dragons app and see if that gives you anything

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepan124:
SO SORRY, but it wasn't fixed :((((
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeanss:
No worries!

Try using a file explorer such as Astro or ES File Explorer (Or Root Explorer if you're willing to pay, totally worth it though bought 2 years ago on sale and haven't needed another file manager since) to go into

to locate the quicksearch apk file and delete it, then just re-install it from the Play Store!

If you're still experiencing FC's after that the only other suggestion I can give without knowing the actual cause of them is to do a Factory reset (Data, Cache, Dalvik)!

[Fire TV General] mejdam:
The Free Trial Ended for NFPS on July 15th if you want to continue getting NFPS then make sure you are running KODI 15 RC2 or above and go here since they focus mostly on NFPS and Rocket private access

For those who arent aware you can watch live tv from a number of locations using something called IPTV, now normally this requires an IPTV Receiver (mag250, mag254 and avov) but using your current android device (yes this works for all the android boxes i have) and an application called STB Emulator you can achieve same service without needing to purchase additonal hardware.

Three methods to connect to IPTV Server

Method #1

Using STB Emulator it emulates the tv interface of a mag250 box.

Pros: Allows you to connect multiple iptv servers, Video on Demand works and you're able to view password protected channels (adult channels, If you have a paid iptv server this method might be the only method that works.

1. Download STB Emulator 0.5.22

Thanks to Psycon for STB Emulator Ver 0.6.01

2. If you want the ability to preview the channel before making it full screen use the VLC plugin method, Even though in my experience this crashes more often. Use External Player with MX PLayer for best results

If you want to choose external player download and install MX Player

If you use VLC plugin for media playback make sure to install VLC.

4. I know in the video i said tv_ssytem_res for the resolution but choose 1280x720 so everything displays correctly on the Fire TV

Snapshot of STB Emulator working on the CURRENTLY free IPTV Test Servers

Method #2

Main Thread of addon http://iptvtalk.org/showthread.php?1015-stalker-client-pvr-add-on

Pros: You dont need MX player since it uses KODI built-in player

1. Download pvr.stalker.client-android-arm-0.5.zip

2. Enable Live TV (Settings - Live TV - General - Enable)

3. Enabel Stalker Client PVR Addon and configure a MAC address

4. Restart Kodi and a TV option will appear

Method #3

Main Thread of addon http://iptvtalk.org/showthread.php?2514-stalker-any-plataform

Pros: Runs on older version of XBMC and KODI, Method #2 doesnt work on XBMC 13.2

1 - Download

2 - Open the Kodi

3 - Add-on -> Install from zip

4 - Go to config and set up what you want

5 - enjoy

Features

- Up to 3 Portals

- Force Clear Cache (Context menu on each portal)

- Channel groups

- Channel logos

- Parental lock (Default password 0000)

- VoD

[Fire TV General] shollywood:
Got it all setup, shows channels, but no channel ever plays, just keeps spinning like it's loading, but never does...
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
Yep, looks like they are adding more channels. Try again in a couple of hours. It was working great earlier today. I'll take some video later today or tomorrow showing IPTV working on different paid servers.

Instead of TV if you go right and select videoclips you can watch their VOD service which is currently up.
[Fire TV General] ssy080:
Thanks for the tut, but I don't see any option for ext. player?
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
if you have stb emulator 0.5.18:

Press the Menu key on the Fire Remote - Mediaplayer - select VLC Multimedia plugin

if you have stb emulator 0.5.19 (newest version)

Press the Menu key on the Fire Remote - Mediaplayer - select External Player. Exit app and when you come back in it'll tryt to play a video and ask you what player you wish to use. Select MX Player
[Fire TV General] ssy080:
Oh! Didn't realize it was a physical button you pressed! thanks :)
[Fire TV General] psycon:
Works great. the server is indeed not showing any live channels at the moment. they are replacing some hardware so it will be back up. VOD content still works though..

thanks for the share, I stopped following FTA and had no idea they are trying to move into the IPTV realm.
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
Thats exactly what happened.

1. First DirectTV cards were getting unlocked.

2. Dish Networks Nagravision 2 card was completely dumped than hacked into FTA boxes (This required people setting up Satellite Dishes)

3. Dish Network Moved to Nagravision 3 which forced people to switch over to something called IKS (Internet Key Sharing), this required FTA boxes with Internet connections.

4. Now there is word that Dish Network is switching over to Nagravision 4 which will kill IKS. So now everyone is setting up for IPTV.

Dont mean to bore people with the history of hacking Directtv or dishnetwork but its good to have an understanding why tons of these IPTV websites are coming up. Some IPTV services are legal (Dish Network is actually rumored to having a legal IPTV service) and some are not so legal.

[Fire TV General] psycon:
yeah, i was pretty into it back when fta was new. even made a a few pc based autoroll scripts that uploaded new keys to my box when charlie kept breaking true autoroll..

nfps was always pretty solid when it came to iks, happy its them pioneering this iptv stuff as the cost is going to be pretty low.

anyways, live tv back up on the test server and STB emulator 0.5.21 also runs well with the vlc plugin.

as far as the legality of streaming iptv, since there is no decrypting of signals done in peoples homes, its not illegal to watch a stream, in Canada anyways. its the same as watching shows on any streaming site like icefilms.. the server is the one bearing the risk, and nfps has been a great iks server that has been runining for a long time, if anyone can keep a service like this up, these guys can.
[Fire TV General] Reni10:
Are there any reliable free IPTV servers or ones that cost a reasonable price of say $5 a month?
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
i havent seen anything that low, the lowest ive seen is $12 a month but that was spanish content. i say the average price for these services will be in the $15-$20 a month range.
[Fire TV General] Reni10:
I have tried out a trial of another service with UK channels and it is hit and miss and most of the channels can be found for free on the vdubt xbmc addon anyway?

I don't think this is reliable enough to replace a cable or satellite setup yet...

Is there anyway to pull in the vdubt or other free iptv playlists into this Mag250 emulator?
[Fire TV General] psycon:
well 1.iptvprivateserver.tv is free for now, but it is in testing phase. Once they are confident they can handle all the users and channels it will be going paid. and it will only be $108 a year... if your currently into FTA and have "donated" to nfps, then you will be grandfathered in for the remainder of your term (for anyone who purchased before feb 1).

This is not your grandfathers streaming sites, they are not simply going to be adding streams found on the net.. . I would check to see if it is legal in your country to access such a server.

Hello,

For your information we are planning to have the following lineup in the IPTV service:

- Charlie USA (Dish): All channels except Cinema PPV and internationals (at least at the beginning).

- BEV: Limited channels, but most of the popular ones like TSN are going to be available.

- Blue Sky: Most of the SD and HD channels except Sky Premiere (PPV).

- Red Point 50W: All channels including HDs.

- Media Networks 67W: All channels.

All PPVs movies channels are going to be excluded because of the VoD but we will open Sport PPV channels.

On the other hand we are trying to get some internationals channels but not sure if they are going to be available from the beginning.

[Fire TV General] psycon:
you cannot sign up. they are still in a trial phase..

however there are other servers currently up and running and being sold.

check out hxxp://dsspros.com/forum/other-type-discussions/

simple rules.. sign up to forum.. make at least 10 posts/replies to any subforum, then PM the seller asking for details, do not ask pricing on the forums themselves.
[Fire TV General] lsdlsdlsdlsd:
I couldn't get it to work with the VLC plugin or by selecting external player and then MXPlayer. I was able to get it working with the internal player though.

Mejdam, can you give any more info on the services from your two other screen shots?

I've never really considered IPTV services were actually a "thing." I figured they existed, but not much else. Can anyone give any links to other forums for more info on this sort of stuff?

aside from from the dsspros link i pasted above check out satfix.net. there is an iptv section offering services.

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to use the 0.5.18 , and the latest 0.5.21 - on a bunch of different devices, Nexus Player , Nexus 5, Galaxy Tab S and in each case if I try to use the VLC Plugin - it crashes back to the home screen - do I actually need to install VLC as well from the play store ?

Any idea ?

is there any other site?

[Fire TV General] breebauer:
I was having similar issues with CNN. Up until this morning, it would skip, freeze and eventually crash and close the whole program.

This afternoon I checked to see if it would do the same with STB EMU, and CNN worked perfectly.

I just tried it again on Kodi, and it's also working perfectly on there too. No skipping or freezing. (I probably just jinxed myself)

Maybe something changed when new channels were added?

Either way, I'm happy!

[Fire TV General] vertsub:
HI all. I'd like to thank all the devs for their hard work so far. I'm having trouble setting up the stb app. I've sideloaded the app through ES File Explorer (I find their ftp access way easier than adb) and I can't access the settings menu. I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected using the settings.apk and nothing I do makes the settings menu open. I consistently get " emulator core initialization failed. App restart us required".

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I haven't installed mxplayer or vlc btw is that what I'm missing?

I've gotten the free IPTV up (THANK YOU) and running on Kodi, thank you for the examples and what not. What I cannot seem to find are the paid providers. I saw the screen where it showed HD, SPIKE, and I want to say FX, but that may be just dreaming. I am certainly happy to have the channels that run pretty good until I really want to watch something, then it freezes or just goes dark. I'm sure I missed it, but if someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

no, but it is being looked into.

it refreshes every time you restart Kodi.. You can also hide channels you do not like and they will remain hidden through updates..

Just a note -- things at satfix are technically illegal and there have been several high-profile raids on providers of these services on the satellite piracy side of the house. I'm sure IPTV raids are coming soon. Be careful.
[Fire TV General] psycon:
let not confuse IKS with IPTV however... IKS is illegal as you are the one using decryption keys to crack decryption in your home. people are not breaking a "piracy" law, they are breaking a "hacking" law, when they are caught stealing satellite signals. .... IPTV however comes to you already decrypted, its no difference that using icefilms or primewire essentially in they eyes of the law, currently anyways.. But he has a point, be aware that none of this, (even using the free trail server) may be legal in your jurisdiction.
