Portal URL Included

Your activation email contains a web address beginning with http:// or https:// and identifies it as a Portal URL.

STBEMU QUESTIONS

STBEmu Setup FAQ

Open a question below for a quick answer.

Does STBEmu include television channels?

No. STBEmu is only a portal player and hardware emulator. It must be configured with portal details supplied by KING TV.

Can I enter an M3U playlist in STBEmu?

No. STBEmu is designed for web portals and does not use a normal M3U playlist. Use IPTV PRO, IPTV Smarters or TiviMate for supported playlist and Xtream Codes accounts.

Should I install the free or Pro version?

Both versions provide the main portal functions. The free edition contains advertisements. The Pro edition removes advertisements.

Where do I find the Portal URL?

It is supplied in the KING TV activation email for portal-based accounts. Do not guess the address or use the website homepage URL.

What should the MAC address look like?

Most portal configurations use a MAC beginning with 00:1A:79 followed by six hexadecimal characters. Use the exact value activated on your account.

Why does my MAC end with 00:00:00?

Some Android devices cannot provide a usable hardware MAC because of Android restrictions. Change the last six hexadecimal characters to a unique value before sending it to support.

Why does the portal say authorization failed?

The Portal URL and MAC address may not match the account activation. Send support the exact MAC, device model and complete error message.

Should I disable network cache?

Only test this when the portal loops or loads slowly after the URL and MAC have been verified. Restore the setting if playback becomes worse.

STILL NOT CONNECTING?

Send Us The Device Model, Portal Error And STBEmu MAC

Include the exact Android TV or box model, a photograph of the MAC screen and the full error shown by STBEmu. Support can check whether the issue is the portal, account activation or home connection.
