if you have an m3u playlist of 50 channels, it will/should request the epg file max 50 times.
the more channels people have in their playlist the more requests you get. the playlist i was providing had 60-70 channels and now 120+ (including radio
50 requests from each user. If you have 1000 users (not unlikely)
50 000 requests/day
German file is 5.12 MB. Or 256 GB /day
7.78 TB/month
Do I need to say more.
You should not only provide an additional way of importing the EPG. You should also disable this stupid way of importing in a new update.
