Hi all, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the Amazon issue yesterday, but my Saintsplayer has died on me. I know some people were on the hunt for a new provider, so if anyone has any recommendations, I’m all ears. if you are happy to share in a post here, great. If you would rather some anonymity, please DM me. Thanks in advance.
StreamQ works for me. £65 a year and you can use the same IPTV app as Saintsplayer. Saintsplayer is now dead
I would hold fire for anyone looking for IPTV recommendations ATM, amazon have started to block side loaded apps on fire sticks apparently. Definitely looks like the beginning of the end until the next way round becomes available.
Old sticks are fine at the moment, it's the latest stick that's running off of a different program that's causing the issues.
Going after all by the look of it. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/37201147/amazon-fire-tv-stick-illegal-streaming-piracy-block-vpn/
I spoke to @thereisonlyoneno7 a while back, and he said with saintsplayer being taken down this could be the start of something bigger. Looks like he is correct.
I think there is definitely a crackdown, but I think what they are doing is taking away the ease at which you can stream and with it removing most customers. The new fire sticks are no longer Android based, but have a proprietary operating system (eg closed source) so you cannot side load apps that are not from the Amazon App Store. You can still stream using android or other open source operating systems. Also there are some legit apps that can happen to stream illegal (as well as legal) content. IPTV Smarters is an example - I have it installed on my Apple TVs that being Apple are closed source. I think the crux of the matter is that there will always be streaming, but it won’t be so click and play as it is now and that by nature will stop a lot of people doing it.
Me too. My stream on Wednesday was buffering like a bastard though, despite my router sucking in 900 MBS.
No buffering this side of the North Sea, I'm getting 1107 Mbps with a wire connection, fibre is available, I'm happy with what I have for now.
