If the providerrs do not want to pay the $1 per person, I as one the users of kens great work would not object too strongly to paying this $1 more in my contribution. Howeverr I cannot speak for others in this regard. I do not know the business arrangemets here so I cannot make any informed proposal and neither am I trying to criticize anyone about the matter. As a user of this service I simply feel that kens is a wonderful asset and we should try to help continue his work here.
To continue my previous Post, (sorry, had to run!), since I Host all my "stuff", I now see why $1/user is too much.
- 5200 users downloaded my Perfect Player tutorial video.
- 5400 users downloaded my PotatoTV tutorial video.
- 1900 downloads of 1st version of IPTVXtra for Kodi.
- 1750 downloads of my Kodi Repository for IPTVXtra v2.2 w/MediaInfo.
- TV/ VOD misc. templates - >1000.
Not counting other Apps for m3u playlists, rough estimate for above is 10,000+, using programs or apps that are not using Stalker(Mac#) authentication.
Then there are the legacy users (MAG's, stb emu's, DL's etc). Unknown user base, but I assume it to be greater than playlist users.
So I agree the $1/user is way too much.
Not to ignore the other side of the argument, the Providers guide is now a usable source(EPG time offset problem fixed).
They need to tweak it a little so it can be used in "all" applications (I told them what's wrong ("& it's still wrong!")).
So, I will continue to ask users for donations.
I thank all that have contributed so far.
Your EPG will continue for the next year for sure.
If the Support does not improve, I may have to send you new links, but I have faith.
BTW, donation count after 3 weeks, ...13.
Happy Holidays
