Very Weird,OK4 will connect using Factory IPTV Player on Formuler 8 but will not play on both Formuler 8 boxes using tivimate or STBemu.This is something new as I was using second box on STBemu with original Mac adress from Sub box.I would only use one at a time as I know that you can't have 2 on same account.I also loaded STBemu on original box and will also refuse to connect.Says contact your provider because box is not registered when using STemu or Tivimate.It was working fine about 3 weeks ago.Did check URL and Mac and everything is good.

I know they did do some maintenance recently on the panel. However not sure if they made any changes with respect to this.

Keep in mind that MAC subs (depending on the server) can simply marry to the MAC alone (allowing for simple sharing amongst boxes), or they can go even further with using the DeviceID and DeviceID2 keys, and in some rare cases even tokens, to avoid people from cloning and using the subs on multiple boxes. Depending on the panel, these features/options can be turned on/off to increase the security and avoid brute force attacks. Side effect is the inconvenience that even legit users can't share their sub amongst different boxes.

So even if you have the same MAC, odds are that the factory IPTV Player on the Formuler 8 will use the DeviceID if the server supports it during handshake. I don't know about the formuler, but I know many factory players from other boxes, do not have the option to edit, or in some case can't even view the DeviceID they are using internally.

If you chose to move your sub from one device to another, you will probably need to request a reset MAC on the panel from your provider. But sharing between boxes (even if only 1 at a time) is not "always" possible.

Maybe herk can check and provide more info on any changes that may have taken place.

Ideally for sharing accounts amongst various boxes (even, one at a time), XC is the ideal method. Unfortunately this is not supported by OK3/4. Only OK2 supports it.
