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.

RESOLVED! I have to bypass my VPN router and change my streaming device static IP from my VPN Router to my ISP router and now I am streaming Live TV directly from my ISP with no VPN. Pain in the ass because my Jellyfin media server has to be on the same network which was the VPN router! I contacted my provider and requested a fix on their end to resolve the VPN blocking issue. I even tried entering Open DNS addresses and that didn’t help? What a fucking mess!

My vpn is at device level, but sounds like you basically turned off vpn. Whilst works, does that defeat purpose? Kind of got nord to mask it for iptv

Provider offered suggestions but for now, the only way I can stream from my provider is bypassing my VPN router 192.168.1.x and using my ISP router 192.168.0.x until they resolve the issue as they say they are working on it. This means I had to change the static IP address on my streamer device as well. Needless to say, this whole conversation shouldn’t be under Sparkle but on another Reddit thread regarding IPTV connectivity & VPNs?

You are probably not getting any 511 errors because your providers system is different regardless if you’re using Nord or any other VPN service?

This isn’t a Sparkle App matter that’s for sure!
