After Receiving complaint after complaint about link farmed scripts for sale, I have decided to no longer allow them on this site for sale. I have no problem with these types of scripts being offered for free, but no longer will they be made available for a fee.
Scripts being offered for sale must now contain dynamic content captured using real code that won't break videos if the content is changed or removed.
This is not an attack on developers. This is to protect regular users from being erroneously separated from their money.
This is up for discussion, but the decision is final.
If you currently have these types of scripts for sale on this website, then you may continue to sell them, however, no new link farmed scripts will be allowed to be for put up for sale.

Another new policy is that before anyone can charge for a script on this website, the developer must make at least one free script available for download.

Can you clarify what a link farm script is? I'm guessing this is more of a live tv script issue?

Sure. These scripts only contain VideoResource() calls linking to pages on the internet and no other real code. These scripts constantly break when the website takes down a video or live broadcast. Typically these pages link to sites like justin.tv.

In all honesty, for the time invested in finding, copying and creating these hardcoded links most anyone should be able to create a dynamic script using the Script Builder. This not only creates a better value to end users but also cuts down on updates for the dev with the added bonus of fewer complaints.
Also, requiring a free script is a good idea, this site has always been dedicated to offering great content for free. Making money is the American way but be sure to give something back as well.

So is this why I can't find "live cable pak" any more? It was there yesterday, just waiting for my download code. Just got it minutes ago, and now live cable pak is gone.

Please contact the seller of that script for a refund if you have not received it. They may also be able to email the script to you.

It's not just one bad apple. It's been an issue for sometime now. I took a back seat approach to these scripts because:
A) If the scripts were maintained, there may be some value to it;
B) All of the scripts created with the script maker are GPL'd, so even though you can ask for money, anyone can copy script and put it up for free. Which no one did. If they had, I would have allowed it;
C) People inherently place more dollar value on media, but the perceived value does not meet the work it takes to present the content. It's not fair to the everyday users. Essentially they are being ripped off if the script developer does not provide constant maintenance.
New scripts using hardcoded links will no longer be allowed to be sold using this site. Scripts with dynamic code will always be able to be sold.
This site provides a way for people to earn some extra cash and I do not get involved. Most sites on the internet would never allow this type of business model. They would want at least a small percentage of each sale. I will continue not to get involved with quality content, but I have to look out for the normal users too.

This was all False Claims And Jealousy ! You Boys should be ASHAMED Of Your selves FOR harassing and picking on omeone who WORKED HARD AND EVERYONE HOW DOWNLOADED HER SCRIP GO EXACTLY WHAT THEY PAID FOR ! They RECEIVED KEYS IN RECORD TIME. And she ever went WELL out of her way to CORRECT Playon issues that support had not replied or responded to ! Just REALLY Bogus !
HOW IN THIS WORLD CAN YOU COME DOWN ON SOMEONE WHEN YOU YOURSELVES ARE IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT !
EVERYONE MAKE YOUR OWN SCRIPTS WITH SCRIPT MAKER !
WHY PAY IMMATURE JERKS FOR WHAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR SELVES !

Jeromy, so in your first post, you say "If you currently have these types of scripts for sale on this website, then you may continue to sell them," but you took down live cable pak, which was already up, and had many downloads, and other scripts of this type remain available for sale. Why have you singled out live cable pak?

If it is too good to be true then it will ultimately disappear. I bought Live Cable Pack for a few bucks. She sent me the key immediately and kept me informed of the updates and changes. The script worked and I am a satisfied customer. I don't care about code this or code that, I just want to watch TV without having to pay $120 bucks a month. I can see this whole thing crashing right before my eyes and all the time I never knew that there was such a controversy behind the scene nor do I really care. I am the one that decided to buy the script. In today's economy and the struggles the lady has endured it is a shame she has been singled out as the reason to implement these changes when it appears to have been going on for a while. I like that the site is monitored but would strongly suggest a firm set of rules prior to allowing submission of scripts.

Honestly I chose these scripts to kill because of the constant complaints I received. Even so far as to have users track me down with my personal email address. The reviews on those scripts were a mess of complaints from users and childish remarks from the developer. Even the formatting of the description was hideous and broke the layout of the site.
It wasn't personal. And xhankx should calm down with his conspiracy theories. I could care less about whatever the hell he is claiming. I'm not out to get anyone. Aliens have not put me up to this. I am not friends with Barrack Obama.
You should contact the developer concerning any further issues.

While I appreciate your position. I literally created all this. The scripts plugin and the website. There is no handbook for creating something from the ground up. I have to create the rules as I go. There is no way that I could have predicted that any of this was going to happen.
You should request a refund, or, if you'd like, contact me via the Admin contact page to work out another deal.

When I created the original "TV Channel Pack", I was checking and updating the script sometimes several times a day to keep it up and running. It scraped the links from my blog. But I soon realized that with the type of live TV content it offered, the links constantly change or go away. It is a TON of work to keep a link farmed script alive. I could have never charged for the script for fear that it would all come crashing down. I now personally would try to stay away from hard-coding ALL links, unless you create a script for yourself and for your personal use. They just break way too often and you can avoid controversies such as this by NOT uploading them to the public.

yeah she was singled out a select few had tried everything possible to discredit the girl , the more good comments that she had gotten the nastier the next comment would be .seem to me it was more the grown men who were acting like the little kids ?
as for not maintained are you freaking kidding me that girl updated several times and added in channels people requested if that is considered "not maintained " then please explain that to me cus iam kinda lost on that .. well not really just another lie form adim !
oh i and see that hankx post of the script text itself has now vanished too?
why is that ?
idk but , seems to me as adim is trying to hide something ? like maybe someone stole parts of her script ?
