EStalker - Stalker Middleware Player - Work in Progress

Quote from gago50

for sfvip player the code is not available on github its fake one and be careful guys its has contain some sophisticated malware aka stealers.
i searched for source code of SFVIP player to compile it by myself like kiddac said i don't want to install plugin or software that are obfuscated(we need to ask Q why they want to hide the code?) but in fact its request exe binary file from github to get working when i removed lines of https requests to github exe the Sfvip player doesn't start. its mean isn't open source.

To be fair, I have been url sniffing a lot of these iptv plugins with various different tools.
None of them that I can see are stealing any ones details. There is no unusual traffic going anywhere other than to the portal and relevant javascript files from the portals.

If you want to use SFVIP player the official version is by SALEZLI.
which can be found on serbianforum.

Anyway back to estalker. I started the task of adding in series this weekend once the heat had cooled in the evenings.
Slow going at the moment due to the heat of my office and it's a bit difficult putting this into my my original xstreamity series code.
I got to change lots of things to get it working. It will all fall into place shortly.

yeah.

Now got series categories

And 1 page of data for series titles.

Gives me a foundation to move on with now.
Tiny steps get you to your destination.

Yeah.

Had a spare hour tonight. So now got the series images coming in.
Next I need to fix the logic of showing more than 14 results because its broke at the moment.
Once that is done then onto seasons and episode levels

I don't suspect anyone, sfvip player remains a very complete software, nothing to say about it, the developer has done good work for more than 5 years, but the question arises why the code is not open as long as the developer has nothing to hide? On the contrary, if he puts it publicly, the community can help to develop it more, perhaps add new features, etc. What do you say about asking the developer to deliver the source code to us on the forum so that everyone can use it and improve it if possible? Your opinions please.

You really need to read between lines and take your tin hat off.

Windows programs and android programs you can earn a steady income if your program is better than rival plugins.
So why reveal your hand for people to rip your stuff off. People will always rip your stuff off and call it their own. That's the way of the world.

Me personally I have been url sniffing the best of the best to see how they do things. I have never denied that.
I have had many conversations in the background with people writing similar plugins discussing things. Learning from them, they have been learning off my findings.
I wrote this Work in progress thread 100% on purpose to get support and share my findings. As it seemed very few people had a perfect solution.

I am not a wet behind the ears when it comes to stalker portals , I have been writing illegal hacking programs for over 10 years regarding everything iptv.
But obviously the more plugins that are publically available, the more code is viewable, the more the providers can close the loopholes that allow unofficial plugins and apps to play these streams. So certain plugins/apps that are doing something that nobody else has worked out how to do yet. Fair play to them hiding their code.

As for enigma2 plugins. To me this is a different kettle of fish. Enigma2 was and should always be a little bit of a community. We learn off each other.
And the stuff you don't see, is many of us plugin creators are constantly asking each other for advice in the background and sharing knowledge of how do to do things.
No enigma2 Plugins would exist if everything was obfuscated (not easy to read). As there is no training manual, there is no go to guide.
No plugin would exist with out the help of the community who kindly test and report back issues.

Up until AI came to the forefront this year, the only way you learned how to write enigma2 plugins was to look at what other people had previously done.
Very few people knew the inner workings of this very old code. It is actually very easy now to write an enigma2 plugin in 2025 because of artificial intelligence.
(edit... I say that, 10 weeks later I still haven't finished this bleeding plugin )

So android and windows plugins (which if you are clever enough anyway, you can reverse engineer), i have no issue with.
I do have issues with enigma2 plugin writers who think their code is special and secretive. Because you learnt from others but nobody is allowed to learn off you.

My code, has always been openly available. My code the majority of times is easy to follow. Whether rightly or wrongly. But my world only existed because of the help off others, especially the massive army of fans and fellow coders who advised, helped, tested and refined my work.

If you don't like that certain code isn't publc domain, then dont use it. It really is that simple.

Got nothing to do today, so lets see if I can box off this series section.

I have been distracted all week with some minor bugs I brought in, in my other plugins.

Now got series categories done
Now got series titles section working correctly.

Lots still to do and test, but the main bulk of it now is just getting seasons and episodes levels coded up.

series titles section

Sort now working
Favourites now working
Search all now working.

I don't really know how to do the next bit. Google and chatgpt here we come

jeewhizz I made hard work of that

finally.
It wasn't very easy that, although the calls are fairly simple. It's literally took me all day just to get down to episodes level.
But my code is ugly as hell.

Need to clean my code up
Need to carry forward the cover and backdrop to episodes screen.
Need to bring back the episode data for each entry from tmdb.

Nearly there.

Anyone got a /stalker_portal/c/ line that has series they would like to share with me (private message me)
All my /stalker_portal/c/ lines I was using have either expired or don't have series to test with.

Edit... I just found some lines.
Interestingly though, none have series.
Maybe the series categories call is different for stalker_portals.

hmmm

pasted-from-clipboard.png

but no call was made for series categories.
Must be combined in the vod call maybe.

Thats interesting.

They are indeed in movies.

That buggers things up. :face screaming in fear: That a massive pain in the butt.

My plugin actually plays most of them in /stalker_portal/c/ lines.

I was doing some investigation last night to see if these can be separated from VOD.
My plugin cannot really do anything different with series in vod. As my vod code only has 2 levels. Categories / Streams. Where as series has 4 levels. Categories/Series TItles/Seasons/Episode.

Some of them do have extra data for episodes. Whether you can use that data to make them work like series, I don't know.
I doubt they can as it seems /stalker_portal/c/ dont actually have a type=series.

It's not a big deal. Its just fugly. And I don't like fugly. (and for those using translators). F@cking ugly.
