by StevieCollins

Well this can't be good......?!

"The well-known Xtream Codes computer platform was seized and obscured with over 700,000 online users blocked at the time of the seizure. "

The funniest part of all this is they used helicopters in this video like they were hunting bin Laden.

Sit tight is all we can do, for what these fellas do of course they have a back up plan could you imagine losing this income and not having a plan B. Bit of down time lads enjoy the break and sun lol

Rob the average tax payer, they wont do much. Rob rich corporations and police forces from different countries will join forces to protect them.

Thats what it is. They won't see my money anyway. Not worth to pay a TV cable subscription just to watch 3 hours per week

Is it just me or did they just remove their facebook page?

dub_starr

seems somewhat unlikely that a software update would keep them down for so long. any tech department worth anything would have a roll back plan in the case something went wrong

I had no idea XC was a cloud SaaS platform. For a product that is bound to attract the attention of law enforcement, that's a terrible business model. Did nobody learn from Napster?

After all, Napster (and Limewire, Kazaa, etc) was a legal product that most people used for illegal purposes, which could be sued into oblivion because it relied on a central server.

Whatever product steps into the void created by the demise of XC should really be self-hosted and preferably open source, not reliant on any central servers.

seems xtreme were taken down at the same time as some providers

Who will step up and replace them? How long does this normally take to have someone else step up or for them to get their backup servers running I can’t imagine running something like this without a break plan. I’m new to iptv like but I assume like anything else someone will step up or they will restart new servers under a new name.

NEW UPDATE Serious Announcement XC who run the panels that control 99% of providers have been shut down (temporarily hopefully!) What does this mean for us? Short term, all streams (except the odd channel) are up and working. If they aren’t, unfortunately we cannot fix them yet. After the football tonight we will begin migrating across to another platform. Hopefully this will be a smooth process and all will be ok. The DNS propagation may take 24hrs (hopefully faster) but unfortunately not much more can be done. We also can’t make, extend or even access our panel to get user/pass details for anyone. All I can do is apologise, but please let us do what we gotta do. If the streams STOP please do not report as we are working on this and it will only slow us down. There will be an update when all is back up and working. HoTechtvpremium.

Why should there be an upgrade without an official announcement by XC admins? Think logically.

I have a question. Isn't ( i thought) xtream codes simply a software platform, like a middleware to manage multiple streams and admin. etc? If so then how would that software just stop working? Did it need to be connected to XC servers that are now taken down or something??

if someone could explain i would appreciate, that's the part i dont understand.

EdmundGerber

My provider states...

"All Panels are down for all services right now, I have no way of doing orders or changes to your service till it comes back up.

This due to a Software upgrade gone wrong

so it shouldn't be to long before I can do orders"

Mccobsta

Is there an alternative to xtream codes that carnt be taken down so easily?

recaptchathis_

Hey guys! First time user here.

I was planning to buy a subscription this weekend.

Should I wait until everything returns back to normal?

plantroller

Just saw this in a discord group about the Facebook group

"@all we put Facebook page offline because too many messages, we are awaiting answers from lawyers from Naples Paris Athens and few more cities , don’t ask useless questions everything will be sorted out by lawyers and lawyers houses hired"

daire_androx

Apparently XC codes were running their own IPTV service called "black iptv" which is how they got shutdown..

MrKaon

I must be living under the rock, what is XC? Been using IPTV for years but never needed to use it.

mistersean

I have a reseller account and I can't sell more IPTV subscriptions for now. I hope they fix this ASAP

siptv101

Xtreme codes has been taken down by European authorities. Service is still up but you can not get into panel for now. All admin need to setup a new server on different platform so we will just have to get a new panel system which can take days. Please be patient new system will be back up as soon as possible

Oseri7

My provider already announced they'll migrate to another panel if there's no sign of XC coming back (seems to be the case). Channels still working.

MoorTreezDMV

Is there another sight I can resell for that doesn’t use Xtream?

FranRukario

Iptv is working, but xtream codes is unaccesible EDIT: IPTV is not working, can there be some solutions?

mikebigbonejonson
joerod

2 millions euros a month. wtf! I just want to know what their setup was for rebroadcasting all that data.

bryandrexler

So is there any iptv services that don’t use XC?

NoahManiacal

It’s kind of the IPTV version of Thanos’s “Snap”. Or as the kids call it, the “Blip”.

My service is now completely offline. Hope they get back up and running before too long.

itrustStream published a youtube video today about the problem and how they and several others are working on a solution.

Load of bollocks software update!! Gone wrong

is there any news?

TopkekLordie

Shit

Danieliuschroeder

Why was every provider using xtreamcodes? Were there no other alternatives available? Also what will happen now to the source providers e.g. Globe etc.

dialatech2303

There are quite a few sources of XC being taken down now.

I've been told it was an update from XC but just seems weird that its down and now all these stories are appearing

paulsmith012

I spent 600 quid yesterday to add sub resellers so not a very good week for me 🙈🙈

nelsonmuntzz

My reseller is telling me streams will remain up (at least in Canada) but the infrastructure to sign people up and extend existing accounts has been compromised

adamlopez222

Am not sure what that is but my provider CloudsPal posted this on there twitter :

Resellers : xtream Portal is temporarily offline, you can still use xdashboard .

NIPLZ

Can someone reassure me that it will all be fine? I work at an IPTV reselling place so this sounds like terrible news.

geobranham4326

It's all-over the web

Gianni82

What makes the case unusual is that Xtream Codes isn’t an IPTV provider as such. Usually operating from Xtream-codes.com, the company behind the software/system offers a comprehensive package that allows people to manage their own IPTV reselling service and its costumer The system is subscription-based, starting at around 15 euros per month and running to 59 euros per month for the powerful “all-in-one” solution.

BmthLegend

Breaking news talk about 5 million customer and 700.000 users online when the police did the blitz. What will happen to 5 million customers? Or are only 700.000 users in dangerous?

freaktabnl

Forget the guys from http://iptvpanel.net/ they will not take you serious

LickMyKnee

Italian police have released a short video of their XC bust, and it appears to be a local provider rather than the real XC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spMgUIFl9cM

andy8992

Makes sure my VPN is on. Not like I didn't leave enough of a paper trail at the several services I've tried. My TV is still working though

serpentxx

I think XC was really just a frontend using Webgrab++, which is free and you can install yourself onto any windows/linux platform.

As for the legality of it all....

A single source server making stupid ammount of requests and traffic to legitimate cable websites is sure to raise some concern

allanfarrell

My seller use xtream codes and my subscription is working at present.

mistersean

They are currently moving their system over to another server. They are not dead :) Source : XtreamCodes on skype :)

So that's why my hydrogen trial didn't work last night?

thecaretakershusband

If XC is not fly by night, they are pretty disorganized. Who put together their offices with wires all over the place, 6th graders? Now I have to order DAZN to watch CL and NFL, FFS!!

[deleted]

Just a quick breakdown, XC is a middleware and not a channel provider.

If you read the article carefully and the video shown you will see the iptv source taken down was providing channels which xc doesnt.

The reason it's down is due to there upgrade to v3.

It was an Tehnical error which was generated by upgrade to the new platform.

New v3 is meant to be online today so it's just a waiting game till it's fixed.

This is what xtreamcodes says’

that is the latest i have been told

[deleted]

xtream is moving to new servers, this story is a hoax by somebody, just sit and wait and it should be back on as soon as the move has taken place, if where all commenting on it, then you can only imagine how many people they have to move over to the new servers

yerdunclelarry

Fake news people....

juDGEY_UK

Fake news this post should be closed

stonecats

that is 700,000 potentially real IP's not just blocked, but logged by authorities before they got blocked.
if you don't VPN while using a pirate stream it's only a matter of time before copyright trolls come calling...

yerdunclelarry

So why am I up an running again if they took.it down? You goats are so gullable
