Total number of EPG123 users?

This might be a sensitive topic and completely understand if you don't wish to share.
I was curious if you knew how many users are running your software. Just curious how many WMC users there still exist?
It is such an elegant software, it is unfortunate that it is no longer supported.

About 4 to 5 years ago I wrote a few articles on another forum about my search for a WMC guide replacement. Even though my posts ended with "Just get EPG123 and save yourself the hassle!" I still get queries (as recently as last week) on how to use EPG Collector and Zap2XML. I always reply with -> Get EPG123.
Even so, I'm constantly amazed at the number of people that don't want to pay for guide info and will go to great lengths to save 50 cents a week.
In short, the number of EPG123 users is definitely not the number of WMC users.

Yup, around 9000. Could be more, but I have no way of knowing. That number is based on the unique users that use my API key for themoviedb.org and that is only counted if the user enables the "Use themoviedb.org for missing cover art" option. Stats from TMDb bounce between 8900-9000 daily.

Wow! That’s more than I thought. Can SD tell what app people are using when they pull data?

They could, maybe. All HTTP transactions need a User-Agent as part of the header, but the content of the User-Agent is not qualified or validated in any way. Since it is so freeform, I don't they even look at it or collect it. That would pretty much give me an exact number if they did.
