STB profiles

An STB profile is a set of options for emulating a set-top box in the app. The app creates one profile on first launch. You can edit it or add more profiles to load different portals on the same device. To create a profile, double-tap the screen to display the menu at the top or side ¹. Select Settings, then Profiles, where you can add or edit profiles.

StbEmu does not provide, host, or index any media or IPTV playlists. Users must have a legal right to the content they access via the emulator.

Profile name

The profile name. This can be any non-empty string.

Portal settings

Options specific to the portal.

Portal URL

The URL of the portal. It must start with a scheme (http://, https://, ftp://, etc.).

Portal language

The default portal language, specified as a two-letter ISO 639-1 language code.

HTTP Proxy settings

HTTP proxy settings.

Use HTTP proxy

Enable if you want to use an HTTP proxy.

Proxy host name

Proxy port

Portal is internal

Enable this option to use an internal portal for MAG devices.

Internal portal URL

STB configuration

The main emulation settings.

STB Model

The STB model to emulate.

Firmware

The firmware to emulate; no actual firmware is installed. Some portals require specific firmware. If so, select it from the list if it is available. Most supported STB models offer only Generic firmware, which usually represents the latest version.

Available firmware options:

• Generic: usually the latest available firmware.
• Custom (MAG 250 only): customizable firmware. Use this if you need to change specific firmware settings.

Most users should use Generic firmware (selected by default).

Firmware settings

This option is available only with Custom firmware (currently supported only for MAG 250). Use it to configure specific firmware settings, such as the version or a custom User Agent string.

User Agent

The User Agent string for the app's web browser.

Screen resolution

The screen resolution to emulate; this does not change the actual display resolution. Choose a resolution your portal supports, usually 1280x720.

MAC address

The MAC address of the emulated device. You can use the MAC address of a real MAG 250 device you own, or 12 random hexadecimal digits (0–9, A–F), grouped in pairs separated by colons. ²

Most portals require the MAC address to start with 00:1A:79.

Serial number

The serial number of the emulated device. Most portals do not check it, so any text string will usually work.

Device ID

Device ID settings.

Use MAC-based device ID

Generate the device ID from the device's MAC address. Press Reset device ID after enabling or disabling this option to regenerate the ID.

Send Device ID

Send the device ID when a portal requests it. If disabled, the app sends an empty string.

Device ID random seed

The seed used to generate the device ID. Use the same seed on all devices that use the same portal URL and MAC address. Press Reset device ID after changing this value.

Device ID value

The device ID. Use the generated value or enter your own.

Custom device ID 2 and signature

Enable this option to edit Device ID 2 and the signature.

Device ID 2

Signature

Reset device ID to default value

Regenerate Device ID, Device ID 2, and the signature.

Hardware settings

Vendor

Hardware version

IP address

The IP address sent to a portal on request. This is an emulated address, not the device's actual IP address. Most portals do not use this information, so you usually do not need to change it.

Media player settings

Media player settings for this profile.

Media player

Select the default media player for this profile.

Player	Description	Comment
Exo	GitHub	The default player, recommended for most devices
VLC	Website
MPV	GitHub
Ijk	GitHub	Does not support subtitles
Internal player	Uses the Android player. Supported codecs depend on your device's Android version.	Does not support subtitles
External player	Use almost any external player. Integration with the emulator is unavailable; media streams open in another app.

UDPXY settings

Enable UDPXY support

UDPXY server URL

Overwrite stream protocol

Footnotes

1. If you use a 3D remote control or a mouse, move the pointer, click the screen, and open the app's menu at the top. ↩

2. On some Wi-Fi-only devices, the generated MAC address may be 00:1A:79:00:00:00. This means the app could not detect it correctly because of Android restrictions. Replace the 00:00:00 portion with random hexadecimal digits, keeping the colons between pairs. ↩
