24/Mar - Zoe Iptv theory/assumptions
May not be truth, As the header say my guess based on my experience with China IPTV.
1. People always wanna crack Paid IPTV to get free stuff or to profit. Effect > Real operator got to keep update or worse, they stop update, let it die. Change a new name, price it higher n continue the cycle. Those who cracked it, changed new name, probably chg the look n disguise as new paid iptv and sell... I unable to name those iptv but from the app design n server. I can see similarity.
2) Of cos there are still good n genuine operater. Fact : They still face their Chinese government pressure. Your seller may disappear anytime.
3) Talking about IPTV source. Suppose a genuine iptv player start a new service. If it is a p2p, they need many connection to make video run smoothly. So they give out genuine p2p source to stable their streaming. This is where u have free IPTV where many used the freely available source to create app. I used it too to create Zoe5s in the past. Well it run smoothly, then IPTV provider change link again to disturb free app, and issue out another link... cycle goes..... Of cos, there are also possibilties that people crack paid IPTV and put out source to showcase.
4) There are seller selling IPTV source to "paid" IPTV operator, behind the scene.
Summary :
So there are few type of Paid IPTV :
a) Real operator as in 2 but also not stable with threat from piracy
b) Get free source in 3, create "paid" IPTV and regularly maintain it.
c) Crack a paid IPTV in a) or b),
- Sell as lifetime iptv (Yes lifetime cos you never know when the real provider
stop service). See your luck then, If lucky can be more than 1 yr or few months.
- Change the look and sell as new IPTV
e) Buy from paid IPTV a),b),c) , become reseller, change new look and sell as new IPTV.
With many layer of reseller, price only goes higher and higher....
Type of Free IPTV :
f ) Crack above a,b,c,d,e, change new look.
g ) Get free source, create free IPTV once but dun maintain it.
I'm writing all this because I suspect f) will kill a). Nothing is free, where does source come from. If it is type g , it only a player with channel list. The more people the better streaming plus if you regularly maintain it for free.. Perfect !! But if it is f) , meaning it could be type a) , that may put down real IPTV service from real player. Paid IPTV run on server.. too many illegal traffic kill the server..
Unfortunately, most people unable to identify a to g. And this unhealthy cycle goes on...nothing is stable. I can only suspect as based on what I read from the app code....
I thinking of a solution.... Buy paid IPTV (a,b,c) at cheaper price and get free app as backup.
