Sorry cannot see the imaeg .. too small
all I can say is that I have used it to switch Mac addresses when testing Stalker and it worked fine.

 

[illias28]

sorry for small image. try to open it with paint please

 

[illias28]

Sorry once again for small image .here is another one

 

[twol]

So why do you want to switch mac addresses

The ViX method of changing the mac only works on wired lan, it looks like the OP is using wireless.

Thanks for clarification

The ViX method for changing mac relies on 2 files both named hwmac.

One lives in etc/enigma2 which is the file created using ViX ui.

The other lives in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d and contains

#!/bin/sh

[ "x$IFACE" != "xeth0" -a "x$IFACE" != "x--all" ] && exit 0

if [ -f /etc/enigma2/hwmac ]; then
	macadr=`cat /etc/enigma2/hwmac`
	if [  "$macadr" != "" ];then
		busybox ip link set addr $macadr dev eth0 2>/dev/null || :
	fi
fi

Perhaps this can be modified for wireless and ideally there should be a choice of either selectable from the UI

Over to you @twol

 

[twol]

Will look later - thanks

thank you all for your help; yes i am using wifi to connect to internet.what should i change in the files HWMAC to change the mac adress.
the reason for me to change mac adress: for one month i have hade an abonnement in supcam on a vuplus solo2;but now i have bought a zgemma h9 s se 4k;i have tried to use my abonnement on this reciever but it doesnt work.i have contacted the provider and he told me that it is not possible because of the mac adress ; an that i should buy another abonnement for the new reciever. i have read in some forums that the providers could reset the mac adress ,but it seems that this one is only a resseller with no knowledge in this domaine.thats why i am trying to change my mac adress but in vain.

If it's IPTV via Mac address there's a way to change Mac address via stalker Qt plugin

That might need editing for py3.

@illias28 - so I have code now to change teh Mac address for a WiFi connection(still have to test), but as I have now found out (!), there is one MAC Address for the wired (Ethernet) connection and a second MAC for the wireless connection.
The WiFi Mac address is also much longer than the Lan Mac address - so not sure you can swap them - (maybe linked somehow to WiFi password)
... and I am guessing that you have given your supplier the Lan Mac address - as that is the one displayed currently

So changing the WiFi Mac address may not help you.

Anyway I will finish testing code and then post for you to try if you want to do this.

Hi,
thank you very much for all of you for your help;and specialy to TWOL
i have finally changed my mac adress after i have used ethernet conexion .but this is impossible with wifi.
i hope there will be a solution for wifi conexion in the future,because i would like to use my reciever with wifi since the router is far from my reciever.

Mac address for wired and wireless is exactly the same length

root@zgemmah9twin:~# ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:EC:xx:xx:xx

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:EE:2A:xx:xx:xx

I can also test this when you have it ready.

Thanks - yes when I check in the debug log, rather than in TV, its exactly same length!
Plan to test this morning then post the change to test

Hi TWOL,
thank you very much for you help,could you please send your code to change mac adress for wifi

I am still testing, …….. a few issues.
