📡 Add a Stalker portal

Use this if your provider gave you a portal URL and a MAC address (the details usually meant for a set-top box / "STB emulator"). Stalker portals sign in with the MAC — no username or password needed in most cases.

📱 On your phone

1. Tap the IPTV tab → Add IPTV provider. (Or: profile avatar → Settings → Integrations → IPTV (Xtream Codes) → Add Playlist.)
2. Set Source Type to Stalker.
3. Fill the Stalker Portal form:
   • Portal URL — e.g. http://host:port/c/ (many providers include the trailing /c/)
   • MAC Address — the one registered with your provider, format 00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx (the 00:1A:79: prefix is pre-filled)
4. Press Add Playlist.

📺 On your TV

1. Open IPTV in the sidebar → Add IPTV provider → Source Type Stalker.
2. Enter Portal URL and MAC Address, then Add Playlist.
3. TV extras: Randomize MAC generates a virtual STB MAC (only useful if your provider lets you register a new one), and Send Device ID controls whether a device identifier is sent to the portal — leave it as-is unless your provider says otherwise.

The optional fields (when your provider gave you more)

The device serial and ID are derived from the MAC automatically — only override them if your provider handed you specific values:

• Serial number (optional) / Device ID (optional) — paste exactly what the provider sent.
• Portal username / password (optional) — a few portals add a login on top of the MAC; fill these only if yours does.

Troubleshooting

• "Portal error" / won't sign in? Check the MAC is the exact one registered with the provider, and try the Portal URL with and without the trailing /c/.
• Worked, then stopped after switching apps? Some portals only allow one active session per MAC — make sure the same MAC isn't signed in on another box or app at the same time.
• Provider says "wrong device"? They may check serial/Device ID — ask them for the values and put them in the optional fields.
• Still stuck? Open a "Playlist / source won't work" report.
