Closed freearhey closed 3 years ago

freearhey commented 3 years ago

List of requests for US channels from other issues:

If you find a working link to a channel from the list you can add it directly to the playlist by making a pull request, just read this guide before you do it.

> @geonsey So? Who cares? The channels are freeview is what I'm saying. Well, some of us care. They are 'freeview' where? Over an antenna? Yes, I agree, not disputing that. You're right on that one. But THEY ARE NOT OFFICIALLY FREE OVER THE INTERNET. > If the Teleyupp guy wish to protect their streams, they would. But they aren't. Well clearly you're not understanding, THEY HAVE!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK THE LINKS KEEP DYING AND NOW WE'RE SCRAMBLING TO FIND NEW ONES??!! This is my point... if we traded them in a private fashion, maybe TeleUp would not keep changing them all the time and we wouldn't be scrambling endlessly to find replacements. Look, clearly there is a misunderstanding on how these streams are being offered. Just because they are un-tokened or unrestricted does not make them freely legal. You've done a great thing in compiling these streams, sir, I am not arguing with you on that one, but you can do so much better in protecting them for your community. Well, anyways, you're about to ban me and my comments if I continue, so again, this was just for clarity and information, not intended to make bad of the good thing that you are doing for your community.

@geonsey The channels are "freely legal". In terms of legality, that's all that matters.

Sigh. Clearly you're not understanding me. That's ok. You are misguided in thinking that they are legal, they are not freely legal. The streams you have here belong to a paid service even though TeleUp has decided not to token them. Instead, they'll just keep changing the URL's when they find out they are leaked and we'll just continue the frustration of seeking out replacements. Just trying to suggest you should protect them and not share them freely. This is why they are dying all the time and everyone is scrambling to find replacement streams all the time, that's all. Anyways, looks like you're not convinced and you're not gonna protect these. That's ok. I appreciate the debate, however.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey The channels are legal, as in freeview / over-the-air channels that you can receive using an analog antenna. But if it makes you sleep better at night, we'll protect the streams from now on. How does that sound?

Yes, that is accurate, no doubt about that. > But if it makes you sleep better at night, we'll protect the streams from now on. How does that sound? Oh, I sleep well at night, don't do it for me, I have my own playlist that has over 1500+ actually free and legal channels, I don't need these ones, honestly, they're just a bonus for my own personal use. Do it for your community. I think you all could appreciate the premium value of these streams and they are worth protecting.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Well. You're right about that.

ghost commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Well. You're right about that.

Your curated collection of links is impressive. Protecting them is a good thing. Thanks for the debate, sir.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey I know I probably should. So do you protect your links?

ghost commented 3 years ago

@geonsey I know I probably should. So do you protect your links?

Yes, there are customized playlist that I share privately that include premium channels that are not typically distributed to the public and it serves very well in safeguarding some premium channels. If you are looking for a way to do this, let me recommend that you set up a free OpenDrive account. You can still share remote m3u playlists and still keep them out of public view and would be a great complement to what you are doing with your public github and still be able to share links like these privately. For example, you would get a link like this: https://od.lk/s/MF8yMTkxMjIwNDhf/RedboxLiveTV.m3u but the entire folder where you are serving the links remain out of public view (unlike what happens here in Github) and only those who have this link can get the playlist. So, you can share this list in a blog post (or a github comment) and it would be safe. The only thing you can't protect is what other people do with the links that you share, so use this option wisely lol. I am glad to help in any way I can if you need it.

By the way: I would recommend the same for these channels, just put them behind a private list, as they are basically the same issue as teleup, these are channels provided by Roku for their paid subscriptions. I am actually SHOCKED that Roku hasn't caught this yet and they are still unprotected. Definitely some premium channels worth safeguarding:

HBO (East): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/hbo-east.m3u8 HBO (West): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/hbo-west.m3u8 Cinemax (East): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/cinemax-east.m3u8 Cinemax (West): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/cinemax-west.m3u8 Showtime (East): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/showtime-east.m3u8 Showtime (West): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/showtime-west.m3u8 STARZ (West): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/starz-west.m3u8 STARZ Encore: https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/starz-encore.m3u8 Epix (East): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/epix-east.m3u8 Epix 2 (East): https://edge.roku-live.top.comcast.net/out/u/epix2-east.m3u8

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Why would you post premium channels in the open like that? Not that it's hard to get the new links once they update em. It's just inconvenient. Also. By posting these links in a onedrive document, they're still somewhat available to the public. What I mean by protecting them is to either restream or use a DNS to mask the original link, then perhaps use .htaccess to rename the files and change it up every once in awhile. That's how you keep em protected. Hence why I'm not worried about posting teleyupp links here, because they don't even care to protect their shit. BTW. Roku ain't gonna care about those. I've had those premium links ever since Roku added premium channels.

ghost commented 3 years ago

> @geonsey Why would you post premium channels in the open like that? Well, I don't really, I have a select group of people that I trust that I give private links to who I know wouldn't just leak them. I gave you an example of the Redbox live TV streams only because I know these are legit free to the public and if they leak well there's no harm here. I have WAY MORE premium channels that are not part of my public project that I've entrusted with people in my community that I share through my OD server. > Not that it's hard to get the new links once they update em. It's just inconvenient. Actually, it really isn't. Once you update your document, you can upload to your OD server and it updates automatically there. The link doesn't even change, so you can add the m3u link into your streaming player and things update automatically, just like the public lists in github. > Also. By posting these links in a onedrive document, they're still somewhat available to the public. Not ONE DRIVE, I suggested OPEN DRIVE. https://www.opendrive.com You can't access the folder where these documents are stored in OpenDrive. You only have to share the link itself and they only have access to the document. > What I mean by protecting them is to either restream or use a DNS to mask the original link, then perhaps use .htaccess to rename the files and change it up every once in awhile. Why would you do THAT? Now THAT seems complex and inconvenient! lol > That's how you keep em protected. Hence why I'm not worried about posting teleyupp links here, because they don't even care to protect their shit. Nah, you're missing the point. You can still share these links with people you trust in a way where the links aren't exposed to the general public. Teleup DOES CARE--- why do you think they keep changing their URLs! They're discovering the original links got leaked to the public! Why NOT be concerned about these! > BTW. Roku ain't gonna care about those. I've had those premium links ever since Roku added premium channels. Well, that may be true. But why take the chance? Why not include them in a private document with the Teleup channels and share with only people you trust? Roku will eventually discover that flaw, and you better believe that if HBO or Starz, etc, find out and make Roku secure the links, we are gonna lose them. You providing them after all this time just created that potential. So, if we lose access to them, this public github could be the reason for that. WHY NOT safeguard them and still be able to share them to your friends and community and mitigate that risk. That's all I am saying.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

What I'm saying though is that if these companies do not care to go the extra mile in order to protect their streams, why even bother? To companies like Roku, changing these streams is more inconvenient than the bandwidth being wasted on pirates. The live channels are on borrowed time as far as being a money maker, and will most likely be shut down within the next couple of years now that they all got their own streaming service. That's their real money maker. So I don't think you should worry too much about safeguarding these premium streams.

Suit yourself. Again, just making suggestions, not looking for a pissing war over this. The links COULD die because they've been exposed to the public, and public places like your github could be blamed. Just trying to help you make your service better, not inconvenient, for you and your community (and frankly help you avoid copyright violations and getting your github shut down, that actually almost happened to me-- it's a long story, and not the point). OpenDrive is what works for me and I've been able to keep ULTRA PREMIUM streams from seeing public view, just sharing my experience.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Right. But I'm not sharing premium streams anyway. All I'm saying is that for a billion dollar company like Roku, having to change things on their website and in their apps just because their channels got leaked is more of an annoyance than having to pay a few thousand bucks more per month, hence why these streams you just posted haven't been changed.

ghost commented 3 years ago

> @geonsey Right. But I'm not sharing premium streams anyway. Wow. You didn't understand anything I said. Alright, no need to reply anymore. I will just follow your github, you have curated a great collection. If the premium channels die, so be it. It will have been fun while they lasted.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Right. But like I said, I don't do premium channels.

ghost commented 3 years ago

What do you think Starz and HBO are? Those are not free 'over the air' by your criteria. So... oh, hell. I give up. You didn't get anything I was trying to help you with. Good luck to you sir, I am done.

@geonsey Yea. I don't carry those on my github. Free and legal streams only.

ghost commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Yea. I don't carry those on my github. Free and legal streams only.

That was my mistake, I though THIS here was your github, which shouldn't display these channels here either, same argument overall. Doesn't negate anything I was trying to suggest though, even with the Teleup channels. Anyways. I think you all got my point anyways.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Sure. And I agree with you. I'd never put those streams on my own github.

ianminzy commented 3 years ago

@ianminzy I posted those already. @geonsey So? Who cares? The channels are freeview is what I'm saying. If the Teleyupp guy wish to protect their streams, they would. But they aren't.

Clearly the "cut-and-paste" with the new changes is not quite working with all the dead channels. lol. And the hunt continues lol.

Just thought you should know that the Boomerang in the US playlist is not the Boomerang that's shown in the US; it's probably the Thai version of Boomerang. :(

Channels are sorted by the country the channel originates from.

Boomerang is a channel that's held by Turner Corporation, an US company.

ghost commented 3 years ago

By the way, several of the Teleyup channels have changed to tokenized streams. All the locals (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox), and the ESPN's, along with USA Network. My suggestion, remove the other Teleup streams and share them privately before they decide to tokenize the rest of them. I was fearing this would be the cause of them dying because they were exposed to the public. Just a suggestion.

ghost commented 3 years ago

FYI... those edge.roku premium streams are dead now. I won't say "I told you so", but I will say there are still some great live streams that are out there that are worth safeguarding (we've had this discussion already, so I won't rehash it). Those premium channels were around for a long time. Then they were leaked and everyone assumed that if the network doesn't bother to protect their streams, why should we care. Less than two months later, I guess it got the attention of the networks. Folks, I admire what you all are doing to advance the world of free streaming with some great playlists, but sometimes we risk losing some GREAT channels. Teleup is next, I fear, as well as the streams from 'frndly'. I still suggest to share those in a private way and remove them from public access before we risk losing those too. It's bad enough they've leaked out to other places right now anyways, why make it worse. The best that would happen is we just delay the inevitable anyways. Just a suggestion.

ghost commented 3 years ago

And just as I predicted... R.I.P. Teleup. Walking the Green Mile next is 'Frndly'. Let's see how long it takes before these are dead. :-(

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Yup. Hope you're right. That's why we post their links, which is what they should expect if they can't even protect their stuff.

ghost commented 3 years ago

@geonsey Yup. Hope you're right. That's why we post their links, which is what they should expect if they can't even protect their stuff.

Actually I hope I am WRONG!!! I hope these channels won't die. For the love of god, I am begging the mods and managers of the playlists in this forum to remove these URL's from your public lists and share these privately so that we keep them a while longer!! The public view of these links is getting the attention of the networks who are noticing their 'oopsies' and are starting to fix / tokenize / kill their unprotected streams.

CHJ85 commented 3 years ago

@geonsey My public list? I didn't put them there and it's not my list. Also. Those are paid channels. They're protecting them for a reason. So if they wish to keep their little jobs, they have to do this. And besides. It's not like the channels are gone or anything. They're hosting the channels somewhere else and they upped the security a bit. That's it. Teleup's new URL structure is very straight forward. Just extract the encrypted string (base64), change the expiration date and encrypt it again. All the channels use the same token. As for the premium channels on Roku, I haven't looked into them yet.

The Teleups had gone down for a couple of days. Seems they are back. I will be the first to admit I made a mistake on that one. All that being said, I am not wrong in my overall argument. The Teleup streams as well as the Frndly ones will eventually blow up in our faces because they are in the public realm. Not much we can do about it now, it's pretty much too late to do anything about it. I think we are just biding our time with them now before they die permanently.
