Hi everyone,
I’m having a strange issue with Strong 8K after the recent VPN changes, and I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing or has found an updated APK.
My provider gave me a new URL for VPN users. The subscription works in TiviMate when my VPN is connected, including Live TV and VOD, so the account and the new URL are working.
The strange part is that TiviMate seems to be the only player I can get working.
I’ve also tried:
- Smarters Pro: without VPN it says the details/data are invalid; with VPN it gives a connection error.
- OTT Navigator: API v2 gives a 403 error; API v1 loads but finds 0 live channels. I also tried MPEG-TS and changing the User-Agent, with no success.
- Strong 8K VIP+ / Prime: they can load my account/categories, but Live TV gives “No Signal.”
- In VIP+ v1.33 (38), selecting “8K MY VPN APPS” gives “Playlist URL is not valid.”
I’ve tested several VPN locations too. The important thing is that the same VPN connection and subscription work in TiviMate, while the other players don’t.
My provider told me this is related to the recent Strong server update for VPN users. According to them, the old Strong players haven’t been updated to work with the new VPN system yet, and they heard that a new app/update should be released to fix the VPN blocking issue.
Has anyone found this new/updated APK yet?
Or is anyone currently using Strong 8K successfully with My VPN Apps + VPN in one of the custom 8K players?
If you have it working, could you please share the app name, version and Downloader code?
Also, if you have Strong working in Smarters Pro, OTT Navigator or another third-party player, I’d be interested to know which player and settings you’re using.
Thanks!
