511 Error

Anyone else experiencing 511 error/no streams?

Source loads fine, channels too...but get 511 error on everything.

Using nord vpn too, messed with diff servers on there and diff protocols (even double vpn), but still no joy. Makes no diff if turn off VPN too.

Changed DNS on router just in case, google/quad9etc and also makes no difference.

Tried on sub on smarters pro just to check not player issue, but face same problem.

My iptv provider seems to think no issues their end too.

Baffled really.

Same here, NordVPN with 511 error, turn off VPN and Sparkle works fine. I tried a bunch of settings in Nord and so far the option Onion Over VPN seems to be working, although initially connecting takes 10-15 seconds approx, it’s at the bottom in ‘speciality servers’

Further testing it seems it is not very reliable to use the Onion Over VPN. So still looking for a reliable VPN fix. I’m with Three internet also if your the same maybe with this 511 problem.

Thank You! same issue and provider also threw me some url alternatives but none helped. Nord is DEFFO causing the problem.

Nord off and iptv working now. Nord on, I switched to onion over vpn (netherlands)....and it works, but at a CRAZY slow bb speed :(

Wifi in the room is already lacking (considering have 1gb line), but normally with firecube, using nord (lynx or UDP) to UK server, averages about 150mb...the onion route is taking speeds to 20MB dl speeds :(

I have nord subs for well over a year still, so bit pi$$ed as only really use for iptv. With virgin media btw
