[@HarFanG] why should the servers supply a streaming bitstream at a rate faster than necessary for live viewing, And if the server detects non-standard streaming protocols, like adverts not being downloaded why shouldn’t they further throttle the unauthorised scraping of the content they have had to pay for the license to distribute in a constrained manner for limited viewing experience via their web player/app only and not via an illegal hacked browser like this. It starts off fast because it gives the viewer the benefit of the doubt but after excessive downloading demands like threads and no ad breaks etc it detects an unauthorised bot downloader and for some reason it just throttles the connections to make a bad viewing experience… without adverts, lots of buffering… at some point they will just slam the door shut and send you an email demanding you cease and decist leeching their content using unauthorised software or lose your account.
