Is the Cumulus TV app dodgy?

by RudeAwakeningLigit

So I have been using an iptv service and there m3u link for almost a year now and only recently started using Google live channels with TVirl with the m3u integrated.

It worked fantastic and ability to use Google Assistant to change channels is amazing but it had no groups/category function...this is we're Cumulus comes in.

Cumulus has group functionality so I downloaded it from the play store and tried setting it up. About fifteen mins trying to link the m3u and having no joy, I find that I have lost all ability to use my iptv service.

After talking with the admins of the iptv service I found out my IP was banned for abnormal activity matching crackers! What's that mean?

Is there something Dodgy in the code of the Cumulus app seen that it is open source?

cumulus isnt dodgy, the deve frequented this sub but i heard he got hired by google so i dont think he updates it anymore.

google drive stuff should be stripped as it crashes for me so much, and displaying web urls never worked for me

How do you change channels with Google Assistant in Live Channels? Do you have to use the Assistant through the Shield or can you use Google Home? Whenever I use Home it always opens YouTube.

In my personal expirence it works about 40% of the time. I am having the app pull a live stream of my cable TV's feed via an h264 encoder the stream is solid when I connect on a computer but this app crashes quite a bit when trying to load the stream.
