Hi,

I just saw the announcement on the new IPTV service provided by FTA66. I have searched the forum but haven't found any instructions on how to set up the service in order to try it. Can someone please provide more information on it?

Thanks for all your time and support!

Here you go.

You will need an android emulator, mag stb, or avov

Settings are for mag25x
C/P


The server for VoD testing is ready!

Please follow the instructions below to connect to the server:

1- From the embedded portal go to Settings -> System Settings -> Servers -> Portals.
2- In Portal URL 1 press the KB (Keyboard) key of your remote control.
3- Enter the URL:

http://1.iptvprivateserver.tv/
4- Press the KB key again to hide the keyboard.
5- Press the OK key to save settings.
6- Press the Home key until you get back to System Settings.
7- Select Reboot device.

The box will restart and if it is the only portal configured then:

http://1.iptvprivateserver.tv/
will load automatically, if not then it will show you the portal list and you should choose one of them.

During the testing mode the authentication is be disabled and anyone can connect to the server.

Please post your feedback, comments, inquiries in the IPTV FORUM here!

enjoy!

This is a welcome option! I too have been playing with the info I have just can't figure out what to put where. I have the following places to enter information....

Server Name

IP Address

Port

Protocol

The Name and IP addy seems easy enough. Also the port. That said, Where to put what would be nice to know. :) Thank you for your service! Very happy customer here! Have a great day!


EDIT: I see that info was posted as I was typing! Thanks!

Hi,

I was trying to test the IPTV and installed blue stacks on my computer. When I enter the address in the the browser it says: "Your STB is Blocked. Call the Provider."

Any idea on what might be wrong or how can I get it to work?

Please advise.

THanks!

After some search and research I figured out that I need an IPTV emulator with MAG250 at least... So I was able to get the app for bluestacks and have being able to configure the URL correctly. Now when I get to the channel list I can see the 5 channels but all seems to be black... It's because they are offline right now or it's something else missing at my setup?

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!!

If this is simply an IP delivery system, shouldn't it work with any IP box? I have a sat/ IPTV capable receiver. Novatec chipset. That's all I can say at the moment because it isn't for sale yet but will be soon. It is a general purpose receiver. It can scan from server, or you can load a list and scan channels directly by USB drive. I have tried to enter the server name, the Ip addy, Port number is not mentioned but have a place to enter it. Also I assume that the Protocol is http? Or could that be something else like rtmp, rtsp, or something else? Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT: I have added several channels directly with the USB so I know the thing is working. Just IPTV being so new around here, still learning about how to enter the information needed correctly. Talk about taking a crash course in learning! Also my apologies to the mods for posting this in the wrong area at first. I forgot what section I was in but have deleted that post and put it here in what I hope is the right place! :D

Ok so after retrying today again with bluestacks android emulator for pc and after installing stb emulator on the android emulator (bluestacks) I was able to connect to the IPTV server and watch the 5 channels live as well as some movies from the video club. I have to say I'm pretty impressed so far with the video and audio quality I have seen so far. Just very short freezes and probably was my connection that get's heavy loaded at this time of the night. Obviously I wasn't using a physical stb therefore I did get a few lags in the remote response and even some freezes on the emulator, which definitely I would not expect on a real mag 254. I think that the IPTV service would be great and having the flexibility of having my TV in a little box that I can carry to anywhere I have internet without needing sat dishes are really great!

I'm looking forward to the official launch with all the channel line up but as far as what it's being proposed to be offer this will be definitely a great service and I will get mine as soon as available in full.

Thanks to the admins and all the staff behind this service!

Did you changed the mac address on your STB Emulator? If you use the default one you will not be able to connect, the suggestion would be to change at least the last 3 pairs at the end of the MAC to anything different to the values from default.

Could you please list the setting for the stb emulator. I have installed the bluestaks and stb emulator and I did setup the URL as mentioned here but no luck. Is there any other tool (vlc, mx player) I need to install in order to make it work? I'm running win7.

I uninstalled the emulator, installed the mx player, with some additional codecs as well as an flv player. reinstalled the emulator, and restarted the the app. To be honest, it is a little flakey, but I was able to get it to work.

With help from the great posts on this site and some research of my own I was able to connect with my google nexus. I found this website which helped me configure the emulator.

Obviously with only 5 channels there is limited content. But the picture and sound is great in quality. I can't wait until the service is expanded.

The guide link posted by luvlocks was the same I followed, but using the iptv server provided by FTA66. It should work once you follow their guide step by step on how to configure STB emulator.

Once allow stalker to complete the loading you will be shown the dashboard with TV and ALL selected, click on the screen and you will see the remote control keys shown, click on right to move the dashboard menu to Video Club and then click OK using the on screen remote. You will be presented with a new screen that has all the movies listed to the left and a preview at the right. You can browse the movies simply by moving up or down with your keyboard and once you find the one you want to watch you can again click OK on the screen remote and will load and start the movie.

I hope this helps to clarify your doubts. ;)

If you are getting the "media format" error. Once the emulator is running, theres an option to change the media player on the upper right hand side. It is on internal, change it to "external" it will have to restart the emulator, then it will give you the option to select an external player, in this case mx player will do. if you don't have it dl while in bluestacks.

try using the address without the http thing. See if that makes a difference

so many things could cause this thou, from a bad wired connection to wrong image (firmware).

Finally (after 2 weeks since placing my order) today I received my MAG 254 and I just have to said it's working great! Simple to configure, 60 channels available (keep in mind still in demo), plus 800+ movies available for instant streaming from the video club. Still need to test some other features like recording, but so far I'm in love with the image and sound quality, plus no freezes noticed in all the afternoon/night. Also it has the option to play content remotely from devices or computers connected to my same network, from where I can browse the hard drive content and play, music, videos and pictures remotely.

So definitely it's a great addition to my existing IKS and just waiting for the final launch of the full IPTV service, hoping it can bring Local channels as well as ppv movies and events.

Thanks for a great service!

Just try being patient. I see days with no problems and days where I just give up from all the freezing and channels that do not load. And only find out in the end shortly there after that the channel count goes up and everything is back to working great again! They are working on things! If I may make a suggestion...... What I did to supplement channels while the work continues was load a channel list on the inner portal. I am positive from what I have seen that freezing and other problems are simply a direct result of the system being set up. Have a great day!

Receivers I have for the IPTV are the MAG 250 and MAG 254. Both are pretty easy to set up and work well. Each runs about $70. Just google it and you will find a dealer.

The only problem I had when I set it up was I didn't do the upgrade software, so I was confused for a little bit. But I found good help on this site and got it going. Good luck.

I want to congratulate FTA66. I installed the demo in my Mag250 without any problems. Quality of service is excellent. I have tried several other services and this is the best one by far. Thanks for the demo. Keep up the good work.

I have tried the iptv66 portal info that was sent to me when I ordered, but it is not connecting?

--------------------------------------------------------

Nevermind! I saw the post on setting up, and used the iptvprivateserver address, and not the one on the information page that came up after a I registered my Mac. All is good. Will this be the same address when it switches over to a pay service?
