Kodi (Bluemoon Build)

More sites added to the blocklist but the proxy has already changed so it's good for now.

I think @aguerrrroooooooooooo the problem for public or low quality stuff is people are more aware of video quality and have fatter home lines they pay for so want to utilise it.
As you note, a bitrate starved blocky re-encode does not cut the mustard now only the ease of use is appealing and that is degrading (seemingly?) as users have to reinstall addons more often.
So they either get fatter lines and have better re-encode settings or they will suffer/die.

Hence some of us are moving to more private methods :-)

I must say though that even though there are issues; the quality of football streaming on Kodi has seemed to improved in recent years, premier league pass is still a fantastic source for premier league games; but as you've pointed it out it's a game of wack a mole; one that the authorities will most likely lose though as history has educated us :)

Could you not use Nord VPN TC or would that be too much of a speed impact? :)

The speeds are not guaranteed and i have tested a few to .nz with a persistent speedtest. 99% of the time you should be ok but strangely enough at match times the speeds are not stable enough for me to guarantee a stable line.

I am waiting for live us sport now to mess with FOX and NBC, they block vpn ip's faster now though it seems with the advent of the netflix blitz on them.

Apparently Netflix have even started blocking vps's as well, we basically need a fast version of tor lol :D

even pirate bay have a streaming service now, although I've not tried it so don't know what it's like,
I believe there is a kodi addon for this called 'Pulsar' again I've not tried it so can't comment.

Or a dedicated server relaying it :-) (i got one to test and it worked, gonna get us one this weekend)

I am just trying to fix the syntax for the auto script to catch the proper feed we need on a recursive scan of the site as you get a few master.m3u8 streams spat out.
Manually it is ok but for our needs we need a fully automated system (needs to be professional).

Just looking at that .apk crack for the app we are on about at other place.

The problem with torrent streams is that it requires a) a good amount of peers; this is a problem with older content that less people are watching
b) good upload speeds from peers
