So, I have jumped on to this scheme: USB HDMI Capture - #24 by krishkal. Seems much simpler hardware wise, since it just uses the one HDMI to USB dongle to capture a single channel. However, I am not able to figure out what they are talking about there as "dual channel strategy". If you understand any of it, some tips would be appreciated.
This is a very new feature, and at this point it would just be Channels DVR providing a "Streaming Endpoint" that can be used as part of a "Tuner" in ADBTuner. You will have to follow the instructions in the other thread to create the new M3U source that points to the tuner, retrieve the streaming URL for the "channel" you added and then you can use it as a Streaming Endpoint within ADBTuner.
The streaming endpoint url will look something like this:
http://CHANNELS_DVR_HOST_OR_IP:8089/devices/M3U-USBHDMI/channels/CHANNEL_NUMBER/stream.mpg?format=ts

I am trying to configure ADBTuner to get the Carolina Hurricanes games from the FanDuel sports app. Do I need to wait until there is a live game? What if the URL for each game is different?
Adbtuner is more for linear channels with traditional guide data and not for specific events.
I took a look and the FanDuel Sports Network app (which is still com.foxsports.videogo) on Android TV and it does not have any deep link support at all. So even if there was a link to the live channel, there will be no way to open it with ADBTuner. You might want to check and see if anyone has a solution for this that works with ah4c.
Does Prime Video have support for deeplinks? Fan Duel was now available on Prime and they have the linear regional feeds. Figure i could use that if there was deep linking.
I'm a little late to this discussion. I recently started having problems with the YouTube TV app popping up the "are you still watching?" prompts when recording back to back shows scheduled through the client app. I understand that negative padding can serve the purpose of releasing the tuner in between consecutive shows.
I see that you can change to negative padding when editing an existing pass, or making a new advanced pass. I'm wondering, is there a way to save this as a default for all recordings and passes?
In the server GUI, I only see options to set the default as "none" or positive padding...
Unfortunately I do not see a way maybe @chDVRuser do you have a way to add padding to the DVR via API ?
Is negative padding the only way to get ADBTuner to release a tuner lock between same channel consecutive shows? I had hoped that the overlapping of positive padding would push the next show to another tuner... I guess Channels DVR knows what's coming up and somehow overlaps the recording streams internally? 
ADBTUNER Streams are handled by ChannelsDVR the same as any other Streams if Same Channels is requested it will just continue the Stream... So ADBTuner never gets a request to close the Stream during back-to-back recordings Same Cannel.
ON XFINITY Stream it will popup are you still watching after 5 hours of consecutive streaming ... I do not know about YouTube TV.
Thanks! Though I have seen it mentioned a time or two, I've never executed a "curl" before. I'll give it a try...

It won't help in all situations, but in the YTTV app you can at least set the "auto pause" time to 24 hours instead of the default 4 hours. The setting is kind of hidden in the menu while watching live tv.

Thank you! I found this after some digging around in the app. I expect that 24 hours should handle most marathon recordings.

Does anyone know the deeplink url format to get univision live on univision now app to work? Thanks in advance
Two of my Chromecasts for Google TV upgraded to Android TV OS 14 and ADBTuner can no longer make the ADB Connection. Anyone else get an upgrade and experience the same behavior?
Wait, what? Did Google disable ADB? Are you able to connect to it via a regular ADB client (like adblink from Jocala)?
Edit: another idea occurred to me - maybe the developer flag got reset with the OS update, and you need to re-enable?
