Ability to Record Fox Sports College Football

[freway01]

Sorry, I haven't been out here in awhile, but I did look around the Community, but didn't find a a clear answer.

Last time I was out here was when many, if not all non-ESPN sports channels left TVE, thus Channels. There were a couple of 'projects' going on that were working on 'work' arounds to getting these channels. These projects weren't 'turn-key' solutions and required a lot of hands on support, and technical and coding background.

Only time I really watch a lot of sports is during the college football season which is why I subscribe to Philo. My wife and I are Big Ten football fans and the team we follow the most is usually on the OTA TV, but some games, like today's game, are on the Big Ten Network, which I can access through the Fox Sports app on my Fire TV. Watching the game live isn't a problem, but if a game is on early, I live in AZ, we sometimes will record a game and watch it later after we finish our Saturday morning chores and running around.

My questions is this, has anything come out of these projects that is a 'turn-key' solution to recording games from Fox Sports, or some sort of a solution that even a non-technical person like me can play with that will allow me to record games through Channels for later playback?

As more channels leave TVE, is the Channels Team looking at solutions to this problem, or will Channels go the way of the steam engine?

Big 10 network and fox sports are still available via tve. Since you have credentials for them just add a tve source in the dvr along with the philo source you already have. If your provider doesn’t support them with tve you could try with the docker method using E-plus docker.

If I go to the source I supplement Philo with, it shows this

The credentials to log into the Fox Sports app are the same credentials I use in Channels.

What is the 'docker method using E-plus docker', and what do I need to set it up for future use?

Which provider is giving those errors, Sling?

ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

[68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4649475a6452332e706e67] I've played a bit with the EPlusTV project from GitHub which, after you've added your authorization, provides you with both an m3u and xmltv data for ESPN+ streams. These can easily be added to Channels to let you watch the live streams. It works well, if you employ it the right way. Out of the box, the channels have information for the airing sporting events and art for the airings. The airing data includes all the approrpiate…

It was Spectrum, but I went to each channel and did a rescan and they showed up, so I'm able to see them in Channels again.

If the EPlusTV project is the same one I looked at months ago, it required a lot of coding and technical knowledge. I tried playing with 'Docker', but because of my lack of coding and Docker knowledge, I never got it to work on my QNAP NAS where I run Channels and record to.
