That is because I am on the West Coast and the HBO feed is from the east coast, so it is a 3 hour difference.
Enable Compatibility shuts down the APP after the recordings is finished ... Some APPS have problems if they are not closed after running for a long period of time. MAX is one of those APPS also XFINITY Stream that needs to be closed.
Sling STILL doesn't have deeplinks for the individual channels...
You can only get deeplinks to the currently playing show on each channel and it stops working after the show is over...
Has someone come up with a work around I am not aware of???
Only option I know of would be to "step through the channels one at a time using something like ah4c instead.
Example:
Here is USA from my ADBTuner:
8010 USA 11207 https://watch.sling.com/1/channel/35b320ac77ce4a2fbaf685e401933dc1/watch
To get the channels:
Login to https://watch.sling.com/dashboard/home
Click on USA channel on the left and you get: https://watch.sling.com/dashboard/grid_guide/grid_guide_all/1/channel/35b320ac77ce4a2fbaf685e401933dc1/browse
Take the channel reference in that link into https://watch.sling.com/1/channel/XXX/watch
It's easy to get fooled when trying to get Sling deeplinks. You need to use the guide method described just above to get the correct value for a live channel, rather than individual values for content.
Thanks for this information.
I am just messing around with a few of the free sling channels for fun...I think I did this wrong in a different thread where I was working with @uspino because he said the links stopped working for him later. I am tagging him here so he can fix it if he hasn't already figured it out.
@ChannelSam I have only added the paid channels. I played with the free ones for a few minutes and it looked like the same setup, except I was stumped how to get guide data. If you figure that out, let me know.
I have added the following free channels from either cwtv.com or sling freestream...
Laff More
Grit Xtra
Anger Management
Alf
Cheddar News
Most if not all these free channels are available from multiple sources. I wanted a few of these and testing a few others just to see if I could make them work.
Over the last few years I have had channels from HDhomerun, Philo, Pluto, Spectrum, and possibly a few others I can't remember right now. I don't know if that effects the channels showing up when I add them and search for a channel or not...
After adding the above channels in my source...
Re-Download the m3u.
Select the channel list for that m3u
Scroll down to the newly added channel and hit the + to add guide info
Use pull down menu and select ALL Sources
Type name of channel into search bar
Select the most likely one (for me it is usually sdtv stream or satelite)
Repull guide data for source and give it time to populate guide
Add new channel to custom channel if desired
So far I have found guide data for every channel I have added.
Thank you @laughsbrightly for this and @ChannelSam for tagging me. In case this helps other AH4C users with ATV, I changed my previous settings on bmitune.sh from
XXX being the ID number provided by clicking on the logo in the Sling guide, and it works great, straight to live tv. Now let's cross our fingers and see if Sling doesn't change that ID number very often... Thanks!
