XC shut down should wake everyone up. XC was a packaged off the shelf product that allowed anyone to be an IPTV provider... I mean anyone... look at all the rookies who are floundering now who has a good reputable service here on Reddit. It was too easy and the money too was good. Many people who should not be selling were selling IPTV service... all thanks to the easy to use software.
Sadly the CMS central management system provided to providers turned out to be an Achilles heel (pun intended). It will end many services and put many others at risk since XC has full access to all the providers data which now is under control of Italian police and probably shared with others
The foundering services are looking for XC replacement which may never come.
... some turned to cracked version of 1.6, aces, streaminy or streamaxy as a XC replacement and it been really spotty. Service has been really spotty. The entire infrastructure was built using Xtream codes and all the built automation is gone Poof.. channel sources that the providers use to build services are dropping like files. Channels are not being fixed. Provider now have more dead channels than working channels.
Advice to Providers.. there is no XC replacement other than getting leaked version of xc v2. which may never happen. You need developers and good ones that will write you a replacement that is not centrally managed. Otherwise you are wasting time... and you need sources to do the same. If they go offline you go offline. There are many scams out there which claim to be an Xtream codes replacement... money is flowing but to the wrong places
Advice to Customers... if your provider is using XC stop subscribing. If they have not gone down... they will and very soon. Provider have no support. All the systems are dead man walking . Use XC providers with great caution. Many will be gone soon. Wait two months before subscribing again
Final End result... many providers will be gone. Very few will remain. There will be a consolidation of providers ... they will be easily target by the police. Authorities 1 - IPTV 0.
Amazing to see IPTV die in front of our eyes
