NFPS / Private some channels stop playback after awhile.

IPTV Private Server (NFPS)
yes a little over two hours and the server kicks you from the channel. I have had so many shows/movies spoiled by this, because of moore's law it usually always happen in the most important/exciting parts. I really hope NFPS set the timeout back to 8 hours so people at least can watch the same channel all evening or during the day for that matter. and people with dvr can record movies longer than 2 hours.
I understand the logic in freeing up resources from people who fall asleep or leave it on more than 8 hours that is. but 2 hours that is imho ridiculous. I honestly feel like I been reduced to a trial account.
I can not recommend this service to others in its current state anymore either, they instantly pull back when I mention the channels stop after 2 hours. it used to be the first word on my lips when somebody wanted to cordcut, now I feel kinda embarrassed to mention it.
we can only hope more will join this thread and maybe NFPS/Rocket/IKS66 will notice it and set it back to 8 hours or even 6 hours could do it.
this is not a flame thread. I dont think I need to say that I love the service, but the 2 hour limit is beginning to ruin it.

So every 2hrs the server is set to kick you smh.
I really hope they do set it back to 8hrs. that would make the service much more appealing to people looking for a good reliable cable tv substitute.
I love the service, but 2hrs is a bit of a deal breaker for some people.

I guess I just don't get it....
This service was hugely oversold. One of the original promotional phrases was "no freezing". That was a big plus to IKS users that have put up with it for years. Now they announce that freezing is intentional because they did not plan for scaling the system? Instead of building reliability and the ability to scale early, they went for the big bucks and reliability seemingly cast aside and now we hear they are cutting off users after 2 hours...incredible!
TV, be it OTA, cable, satellite or IP TV, is meant to be watched whenever, and where ever you can get a signal. If I want to go to sleep with my chin on my chest at 2am and leave the TV on, that capability is built into the system since TV was invented. But apparently not with NFPS. We are being monitored an told we are limited.
NFPS made a big apologetic announcement that the service wasn't reliable, then raised the prices (IKS extra). Now we hear they are monitoring and limiting the length of time we can watch TV. And peeps are claiming they 'understand'??
Knock off the zillion channels, come out with a core group, make it reliable and slowly scale up. We paid for just that. 'Bout time we get it.
Just an o'le geezers opinion...

that post is back from 2015 (you got it from me, but you forgot to look at the year I undertand why it can be missed because its exactly a year old) when people also complained about a timeout, I dont know if i'm allowed to post the link but you can find it on the official nfps forum as said it is a year old. someone set it back to 2 hours, I really hope NFPS will listen to us again, and then they will get great appreciation but not from when they made the first bummer. I have no idea why they do not learn from their mistakes. sorry.

Well.. in view that it's old info maybe the Staff here can get an up to date version from the providers... is it another bug in the system or is it being done intentionally. If it is the latter then it should be put on the Sales pages so peeps know what they are gonna get.
Montyj's comments make a lot of sense.
Is there even a mention of this 2hr timeout anywhere to be seen?
I think it's something they should let their subscribers know before purchasing.

Only the one I posted from a year ago... We will have to see if they post about it again
yep, they should I wonder if they wrote it before signup how many will complete the payment. not many I would guess. as I said the times I told about this service after the timeout was introduced again (I feel obligated to tell people, apparently nfps do not) instantly pull back.
I doubt the awesome staff can help us on the way. in the new thread elsewhere many people experience this too and it does not seem to be a bug its very consistent after we measured it. in the old thread a forum member even contacted infomir to get an answer the answer infomir gave was it is the provider with the exact config file and what they could change to disable it. nfps was aware and the answer posted here is a response to that, that was as said a year ago just before it went paid. and then they set it back to 2 hours a half year in.. go figure
I agree with you and montyj's post I does make a lot of sense it should be watchable with the chin dangling on the shoulder whenever the server is up, and they should scale it from all the money they get from donations now, if they aim for somewhere near premium this tbh is ridiculus, imagine if even free to air channels did that. I think we will get a very had time getting that trough, hence the suggestion of at least 6-8 hours.
we helped nfps buying donations is it not time to help us just a little back. 2 or 8 hours what does it matter for the resources when people watching the same channel all evening or day restart their channels with unnecessary interruptions. as said i'm suggesting this because I think getting them to put the line 'enable_playback_limit = false' in the correct section of the config file is near impossible.
and security issues what the heck its possible to change token or whatever without interrupting peoples viewing experience.
