My supplier stopped using m3u after the EPL blocks as it shows the server IP addresses and are easy to block.I know a few suppliers that wont use m3u
This is what my supplier said: we are not happy about getting EPL blocks so we are doing away with m3u altogether so the server IP addresses can not be seen.
With the STB portal you need to connect with a device who's MAC has been given the access rights, whereas with the m3u it will give you a user name password and a list of all the links for every single stream that is available, with this you can use on any device. From a legal stand point you need to be able to prove that the portal address is being used for illegal streaming, as it can also be used for a legitimate reason, without access to this they will not be able to prove.suppliers still need to give out portal address for mag, stbemu,smarttv and other apps so I don't see your point with the m3U? all the info is in the portal address.
Yes, but server addresses still can be seem by using Mag, StbEmu, Smarttv. as your supplier as to send then to you. M3U address is the same as the portals so I still not seeing the point here. If a sly agent wants to block you they only need the portal address to find the ip address its not rocket science. SmartTv still use M3U. The only thing that they not getting is the user and password, but that is not needed for a block just the ip address and server details.
i dont't think it is as simple as just blocking the portal address as many suppliers openly advertise it on their websites. so it would be very easy to close them down if things were that simple. The thing is with m3u files you can see exactly where the streams are coming fromPortals work on your mac address,m3u is different. Since not using m3u my supplier has had no blocks ,m3u was constantly blocked.
This is way I would never use a supplier that gives out m3u files.i dont't think it is as simple as just blocking the portal address as many suppliers openly advertise it on their websites. so it would be very easy to close them down if things were that simple. The thing is with m3u files you can see exactly where the streams are coming from

i was agreeing with youIf you read my comment I am talking about blocking m3u not portal address as you are saying.
