“jp-primehome” (= http://cdns.jp-primehome.com:8000/zhongying/live/playlist.m3u8?cid=**XX) is the server of the company that provides live streaming of Japanese TV channels to Japanese living outside Japan "for a fee".
This service is provided for the users who has a paid subscription, and can only be viewed with a dedicated video viewing application provided by the distributor to users who have signed a paid subscription.
Until recently, anyone could access and watch primehome streaming "for free" by using the japanese TV playlist on github that was uploaded by someone who analyzed the distribution URL data of each broadcast channel included in the dedicated application by the distributor.
This was a situation where people who did not have a contract with the vendor were able to view the distribution “for free” without having to log in or enter a password.
However, some Japanese YouTubers publicized "this secret method" in their videos, causing many Japanese YouTube viewers to rapidly access primehome's servers to watch Japanese TV streaming "for free", which was discovered by the distributor, and the distribution system was changed to one with strict access control.
Therefore, please remove the channels with jp-primehome URL from the list "playlist_japan.m3u8" because there is no possibility to watch primehome channels using the playlist on github again.
