Finally, I've come to understand a little better how to set up iptv panels and apks. I started knowing nothing so I'll share how I got this apk and panel to work for I noticed a lot of people asking "how to connect?". This is just one mans thoughts over here, not at all proficient but did get er' done. Let's go:
To connect to the panel on a VPS server online, heres what I did:
1. Make sure PHP, sqlite, and IONCUBE, server apps are installed on your VPS or online server.. I used "cyber panel" on my vps and was able to easily change PHP versions and enable IONCube right from the Cyber Panel. It's free and you can access the install script and be up and running by following the official 4 easy (but not so easy) steps from their web site,
HERE.
2. I then used an FTP client to connect to the VPS to upload the panel files to sub directories. i.e https://my_vps_server.com/panels/nextv3/
3. Then I pointed the APK app to that address and folder using APK Editor Studio. Do a project search within the Editor app for "yourpanel". Change the DNS to your VPS address plus the folders. ie. https://my_vps_server.com/panels/nextv3 (where the use of subfolders is entirely up to you, BTW). Save apk file. NOTE: you can edit/replace the logo files, intro file, etc. here as well, then save. Very important though to change the DNS in the decompiled apk (
http://yourpanel/) and point it to your VPS or server online. You must have the "Decompile smali" option enabled in order to even find the embedded DNS. Default settings in APK Editor Studio 1.7.1 should be suffient. Software Available
HERE.
4. Next I logged into the RTX panel via web browser. Logged in with admin/admin and changed credentials. Then created the DNS record(S) in the panel under the DNS section. Changing the logo and background image from the panel did not work for me neither changing the panels logo or background nor the APK app.
** It's pretty straight forward forward (at least for me now --hopefully you will find it that way as well)
5. Lastly I Installed the APK app on my device... boots right up! At first it would not recognize the DNS or panel.
Switched the PHP version to PHP 7.4.33 in the Cyber panel and all was good. Make sure you have the ionCube Extension installed for your PHP version...ie. 7.4. Heres how:
i. Using the Cyber Panel, go the the left pane and locate PHP.
ii. Select "Install extention" under PHP section.
iii. Use the drop down to select the PHP version you want to check or install the ionCube extention.
iiii. Scroll and find "
lsphp74 | lsphp74-ioncube | lsphp74-ioncube/jammy,now 12.0.5-1+jammy amd64 [installed] | Installed |
If it is not installed, simply install it pressing the install button.
v. Restart the PHP service after that by pressing or clicking the RESTART PHP SERVICE button.
Thats it.
I can't thank the uploader, RTX, and IPTVApps enough for the invaluable information and data gathered here.
I can confirm that the app and panel are working. Please excuse any typos, or let me know about it cause I'm out!
