Don't worry, I'm not going down the whiny path of "Anystream is dead", nor am I going to play the "I paid for a lifetime subscription"-song.
I'm not going to complain about the quality and responsiveness of support, nor am I going to insult anybody in this forum, though I must admit that, what I'd like to call "this-forum's-Chevron-like-fanboy-cult" I perceive to be a bit questionable too, just like someone else did a couple of days ago.
My point isn't "the monkey did it, why can't you?" either.
However, here comes my point:
it's been around five weeks since the content providers shut down Anystream, and though some functionality has come back, we will all agree easily that a 540p-resolution-stream that provides one quarter of the HD standard in terms of picture quality is simply not OK for a 2022 product.
If it takes so long to catch up with a change that the providers can repeat quickly whenever they like, then I wonder whether perhaps the Anystream development team is simply way too small, particularly when a couple of days off for holidays do bring progress to a halt, right in the middle of a catastrophic functionality breakdown.
Is it possible that right now only one or two developers are working on the code, when ten to fifteen should be an adequate team size?
Would you agree that adding a few heads to the team would be an appropriate step towards gaining back reputation?
