Sorry didn't realise it was all compressed (far too much of e2 is going that way now sadly )
AJ panel is another good one to look at, it has a good function that checks lines/macs and adds the working ones to a new file.
Be warned when i last looked the .py file was about 30 000 lines lol....
ok. Just tried another windows player.
The ones that work in those apps, also work in my plugin. We are on the right lines...

Good stuff, im looking forward to your version of this 
Possibly due to how stalker portals are leaked they maybe stuck on specific players. I think some Mac emus allow you to change device types
And the stupid paged load is great stupidity....
that bits dead easy.
And I assume you are referring to the fact you can only load 14 items at once.
I will tell you later if this results in getting blocked
Yes, i am referring that.
Well Stalker = s**t imho
But as you have already started playing that game let me share my observations from when i made my plugin for it.
1. You can load all live channels (kind of since you have to load adult channels separately) in one request
2. You can NOT load VODs however in one request. There you are stuck to paged load of chinks of 10,14,16 or whatever is specified on the server
3. Loading correct EPG is challenge since there is no proper xmltv entries that you can get. Also if you load it in external app you have to deal with server timezone.
4. To play some channels/VODs you need to decrypt the url using create_link action (maybe you already know) otherwise it will give you that there is not enough data received.
5. You can not get timeshift/catchup to work since Stalker server doesnt have that capability out of the box. Usually it got integrated with flussonic for example that makes the timeshift recordings and then they are accessed via flussonic or whatever else server is used urls.
Generally is very inconvenient to work with Stalker/Ministra. Newer versions are better but is difficult to get working hacked MACs for the newer one. Rather you get for older one. Also is very slow to navigate and search in the data since you dont have it in most cases all loaded up....
But well if you have some questions on particular points you can ask and i may be able to answer. I long time investigated that but didnt get much satisfying results due to lack of information....
OK now, got better validation of whether it will play on enigma2 from the off.

And now I got a magic Auto Delete Button too.

I am having fun now.... 
More fun and games tomorrow. Should be easier from now on.
A side question...How you get the Stalker portal version? Most portals dont report it...Or maybe you use special endpoint?

version_urls = [
host.rstrip("/") + "/c/version.js",

I think I have just about all the releases of xkass since day one when it was just an ibrid, an undefined prototype without even a name and now if you will start posting the progresses of estalker I'll start a new collection 
It will be nice if you can make it and possibly not python dependant like the other versions around. 
And I am yet to find a way to know if the line is actively being used. Active connections / Max connections. (I don't think this info is available unless your admin)
So still going to get black screens or freezes if the line is actively being viewed by someone.
Which will reset the auth token - so will break all my lists unless I re-authorise again. Pain in the bum.
Unfortunately, there is no API that returns what are allowed and active connections. So, no chance to get that.
When you get the black screen then your token has expire or you ran out of connections.
Its stupid thing but that is how Stalker works :(
Allowed connection should be always one as it based on hardware MAC address right? More important information is that one connection is in use or not. Thats not possible as well?
if status not 0. Then not good.
Nope not so simple. I have an account with status = 1 and it plays fine....

Does it play fine or does it play for a short period of time and stop.
Chatgpt tells me one thing. DeepSeek tells me another.
Which is status 0 is active - status 1 is inactive or status 1 is active - status 0 is inactive.
So this very well might be due to older versions doing something different than newer versions.
At the moment I have not found a status = 1, that plays continuously.
As for connnections - some portals return a username and password. If so I can just try xtream codes player_api.php with these credentials and get the active/max connections.
But will that make things too slow doing all these url calls. I dunno. We just in experimental stage at the moment
Well it plays continuously when it is 1. When it i 0 it doesnt play at all on my portals.
Also none of them returns username and password so i dont know...
But some tools seems to report active and allowed connections. But that are closed source tools so i dont know how they query it...
Generally i think is very hard to work with Stalker and have to make enourmous amount of server calls to get a simple thing.
