ABC/ESPN/Disney Channels Not Working

Yeap if you have them yes. I won’t be providing streams. Unless other memebers would like u too

Be careful, ya'll are edging real close to piracy discussions. Remember the rules of the forum. We don't want to close the thread.

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. It is probably above my skill level right now, but it is interesting. Thanks again.

No problem leaving thanks :slight_smile:

The ABC/ESPN family is working in prismcast now, so there is an alternative that is viable. All you need is a reasonably modern server, Chrome browser and this software. And of course a TV provider that you can link at espn.com. Still a little rough around the edges especially on Windows, but it does work.

Read the whole thread, I linked to my way to get it to work after you get it installed and running. Also make sure that you get at least one of the non-ESPN built-in channels working before you start doing overrides, that way you know whether or not it'll work for you.

I forgot to mention that to do an override you go into prismcasts admin web page (channels tab), and then click on add channel, and then put in the key for each channel to override. So for ESPN the channel key is espn, when you add that channel with the new URL it will overwrite the existing config.

Finally, ignore the login link In the channels tab, you have to bring up Chrome manually and go to espn.com to link your TV provider. I think it's the little person icon on the upper right of the homepage. Prismcast doesn't update the login link when you do an override, it wants to go to Disney Plus instead.

I also forgot to mention, you need to go into the Prismcast source page in the channels DVR web admin, then go to manage lineup and assign all of the ESPN channels to the correct channel lineup. From what I've seen when you do a channel override it deletes the TV guide mapping.

I've also discovered if I sign into YouTube.tv through their website on a Mac, I'm still not able to view any of the stations owned by Disney. The only way that it worked was to use the YouTube.tv app on my iPad or iPhone, then I'm able to watch stations owned by Disney Live.

Using which browser?
Try using https://tv.youtube.com
You can also choose to Link TV Provider at their network websites, like ABC Live Stream - ABC.com and Watch ESPN - Stream Live Sports & ESPN Originals

Correct. LHN is no longer a channel. It only exists now as a separate app that doesn't really show any live sports, just additional UT programming (football pregame, featurettes, etc).
