Library deprecation #6

Closed Dionakra closed 4 years ago

Dionakra commented 4 years ago

This library will be deprecated for several reasons:

  1. Arenavision kept changing the web every time I figured out how to extract the information, so this was a back and forth game that was funny and interesting in the beginning, but become tedious in the long run.
  2. Arenavision relied on AceStream, which is a P2P technology. That means that it works like torrents. The more people using it, the better. As Arenavision kept adding more ads, popups and fake clicks on its website, the users watching some sports event where fewer than before, so the streams didn't work so well in the latest times. There were better alternatives out there.
  3. Right now, with the COVID-19 situation, there are no sports events coming, so if I had any will to fix this, right now I can't.
  4. I am pruning my projects and backlog, and I think this project came to an end.

So this library will be deprecated. That means that when you try to download this library, you will get a deprecation message, but you will be able to use it (although the library is not working properly anymore).
