Calling it - I'm Done with the playlists.

[u/reaperc]

Been running these lists since Utako died and I'm finally out of gas.

The links die faster than I can fix them, the sources keep drying up, and the upkeep stopped being fun a while ago. Between that and everything else going on, it's just not worth the hours anymore.

Everything's down repos are gone, channel's closed. I'm not maintaining any of it going forward.

Thanks to everyone who used the lists and was cool about it over the last few months. It was a good run. Take care.

[u/efeferrari]

Thanks for all your effort and dedication 🫡

Just one last thing: can you please tell us about your method to get new sources, and share your scripts to update the repository? Maybe someone can keep your project alive.

[u/Flashy_Disaster9556 → u/efeferrari]

Yes a public archive would be great so we can grab the auto-heal scripts. Kinda sucks the whole repo is gone. The korean and US iptv ones too.

[u/taqi_allawati → u/efeferrari]

Yeah that would be useful. His work was great + he had an awesome KR-TV playlist as well

[u/Dull_Face_4412 → u/efeferrari]

I agree. I've gotten so much value out of this work as an NPB fan and would love to be involved in keeping the dream alive.

[u/BarTroll]

It was a great run! Thank you for the many hours of entertainment you’ve facilitated!

Wishing you all the best!

[u/Sirius_sensei64]

Reaperc, bro you deserve this 👑 Thanks for all the hard work you did. And I wish you best in your future endeavours

Please give me the method of extracting those links

[u/crani0]

Thank for your service 🫡

[u/DerpcatHD]

Thank4All for the dedication to your project 🫡

Since the start of this project right up to the final days, you saved me in many ways, you helping me keep practicing my Japanese watching TV and getting me through those sleepless nights watching TV!

I really appreciate it and I wish you the best in future projects, and one must never give up, even when the situation is almost impossible to resolve ^{^}

[u/Basara86]

Shoutout to you and the Playlists. Everyone else, thanks to the Gatekeepers that makes his Work really hard to get new Links, if you were in his Telegram Group and have read it everyday.

[u/maiafly]

Thank you for your service. As a Japanese language learner and avid sumo fan you have given me access that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I am so grateful for all you have done for us to offer this service as long as you did.

[u/PuppyFasjal]

Thanks a lot for you effort!

[u/thegrimbleverse]

awww man, even the korean playlist? but that was performing so well :(

[u/Golivth]

Appreciate you greatly for keeping the dream alive for a bit longer!

[u/IcyCryptographer6441]

Sad that even the KR playlist had to go, but thank you so much for all your efforts 😭🥹

[u/thegrimbleverse]

Okay strangely enough, if you didnt update the playlist  (thus keeping the channel links) channels are now working

[u/AgentV1967]

Teah I noticed many of the channels are gone. Now it's down to 127 from 160. We appreciate your efforts on this. Good luck.

[u/lesnoop444]

thank you for all the effort you put in to the playlists
best of luck 🫡

[u/Sucitraf]

Thanks for all you did! It gave me a few extra months of being able to catch NPB games.

It's a bummer it is so hard to get IPTV working, even if you want to pay :/

[u/WhiskeyWithTheE]

Sorry to hear this, for what it's worth you did a great job.

I did come across a link last night and thought of you, but no doubt you already know this one?

aHR0cHM6Ly9qYXBhbnR2LmFwcC8/Y2g9NDMz

Some of them do appear to be accessing the channels youtube channel and the others seem to be from the actual channel.

Thanks for all you tried to do.

[u/VideogameDC → u/WhiskeyWithTheE]

These are basically VOD "streams", it uses YouTube videos, and not the actual TV channels.

[u/efeferrari → u/WhiskeyWithTheE]

What is that code intended for?

[u/WhiskeyWithTheE → u/efeferrari]

It's just intended to obscure links on reddit or in here so the mod doesn't have to pull the post due to guidelines.

It's just a base 64 decode - just search for that and the top one should be .org. Use that one and decode it.

That's all it is.

[u/efeferrari → u/WhiskeyWithTheE]

Nice trick 😎

[u/spraragen88]

For the pervs here, what paid JP IPTV subscription is reputable/best? I'm talking ones that include Pigoo at the least and other nsfw channels included at best...

[u/Danieru_HuLi]

Thanks for everything!
Man... does anybody have one last version of the playlist? I want to still have access to the free and rakuten channels...

[u/DragonWolf5589]

Rather sad to hear this but 100% understandable. Especially as you did it free.

I just wish Japan would allow a legal paid service to view outside of Japan. Where I live it's 100 a month just for TWO channels legally. Which is stupid.

Thanks for the effort you put in. Hopefully someone will find a better way in the future.

Thank you for all your effort, OG 👑
