EStalker - Stalker Middleware Player (new)

Favourties are added by pressing Fav, TV or STOP

The favourites bouquet is not is now shown in the lists. As the lists have to bring back 14 items. So favourites bouquet is hidden.

You just need to press one of those keys in the Main vod list.

My code does add a computed SN number.

Where are you getting any other SN number from? That is the question I don't understand.

I already compute a serial

sn = hashlib.md5(mac.encode()).hexdigest().upper()[:13]

which given the above example, would be exactly the same as arthur22 post, and the same if that mac was posted in a hash generator.

Input string: "00:1A:79:48:5B:DB" (including colons)

MD5 hash → ae1170e6ff2126f1b8c1b3b3e4e9c8b6

It's difficult with stalker plugins as every stream has a time sensitive token that is computed at the moment the stream is played.

It is also difficult to see how many max-connections are allowed. A recording acts as a separate connection.

It is for that reason - I never even tried adding recordings to this plugin.

Quote from dipa62

Why do some lines, even if they are green, not allow any vision?

Because we have a general algorithm that tries to determine if a line is valid or not. After months of testing this originally, this is accurate for over 90% of lines.
Some lines purposely make it difficult to play them on emulators. Not a lot I can do about the small minority that don't work.

Yes you are correct, the refreshing of the epg on the player was never added to this plugin.

So for now you have to do what your doing until I find the time or desire to amend it.

Main focus is on the "is active logic".
Now sets more portals as active due to proper headers and params being passed, while also correctly setting others as inactive, where as before they might have shown as yellow but nothing played. I have been network sniffing various different stalker plugins to come up with the best solution that will work with the majority. (not all)

Reduction in some of the time outs now the logic is better. So dead lines will be a little quicker to process.

New status of - Invalid domain - if nothing is brought back - either because the portal url has changed, or you been blocked from that domain, whether temporarily or permanently.

e-portals.txt file will now uppercase MACs for you, add in missing /c/ suffixes. Allows # comments after the portal url.

Lots of little tweaks. But no overall change in functionality. Its the same, but better.

Not as strict as last release.
Also brought back the amber stage - where I cant determine if its good or bad.

There will probably be another release over the weekend after I have finished testing something - and if I receive any more feedback or PMs about portals.

What have we got today...

VOD code improvements today. (but not series - I will do series tomorrow)
Making the VOD code similar to my Xstreamity code amends I did.
TMDB for accented characters should now work - my old code was completely deleting those characters, rather than normalizing them.
Which is why it was struggling to bring back information for non english titles.
