I updated on my ONN 4K Pro's which are used in ADBTuner.
Edit; they are all running android 14
Edit2; Before I updated I opened the app and it put up a message that the app needed to be updated. There was a download button I selected and did the update. All worked again after the update.
Got it. I too am on 14. Mine still not working, hopefully I see the update you saw soon. Thanks for letting me know of its existence. Not the first time Paramount broke things with software updates.
Here is a completed Philo json with the Movies & More package (that has REELZ). I have the legacy plan so AMC+ and Sundance Now are guesses. I also have not tuned every single channel (this has all of the FAST channels as well), so it's possible a URL could be wrong! The one shared before really only had non TVE channels.
Edit: a few FAST channels don't have guide data I can find.
Edit: These are now alphabetized.
Edit 1: Put back Sundance Now, and AMC+ that I accidentally took out when I alphabetized.

So I ran into some buffering again, but I believe I found a possible bug.
I had Tailscale enabled inside of Channels. I took a look at the logs and I noticed it was using the Tailscale IP for my channels instance rather than the direct LAN IP for the proxy. I'm not sure if that was making it worse. I'm still testing to see if I'm running into buffering. Also playing with bitrate as well to try to dial that in.
edit: part of my issue may have been setting ts once pack too high during troubleshooting.
Do you happen to have a LinkPi encoder. I just realized a GOP of 5 on a LinkPi (seconds) I believe is equivalent to 300 on the Uray encoder (frames). I finally, upped my GOP to 300 and I think that resolved my issues because it reduced the stress on the encoder. It seemed to make the timing a little bit more stable, which stopped the buffering on my Nvidia Shield. I'm going to need like another day or two to confirm for sure, but so far I've had a stable stream.
I have multiple encoders -- two URayCoders and two LinkPis. In my case, with one of my URayCoders, I needed to reduce the load on a AppleTV 4K (1st Gen), when using the new Multiview feature. Reducing the URayCoder's GOP to 5 did the trick. It sounds like your issues are different.
Yeah, it's super weird. It was stuttering and buffering until I really raised the GOP to max and set my bitrate really high to 14mbps per second CBR. It really defies conventional wisdom. I have a feeling my encoder for some reason was putting out weird and inconsistent timing and throwing the shield off. I was reading that with TS streams, the frame timing is very important. The last couple of days I've been experimenting with dropping the compression, but then last night I had the light bulb to reduce the compression and spit out a higher bitrate and higher GOP.
The very first encoder I ever bought was the non-4K version from URayCoder. I have to say, I never liked that unit, and had numerous issues with it (including audio sync problems). I got the latest firmware for it from URayCoder, and that fixed a few things -- but not everything. The 4K URayCoders, and especially the LinkPi have been much better for me.
I might just buy a couple of the LinkPi encoders. Do you have a model that you recommend that's not super expensive? I have a feeling that my encoders are just garbage.
This one will give one port standard, and a second port when an HDMI capture card is attached to one of the USB ports:

This one will give you five ports standard, and a sixth port with a capture card like above:

Capture card:
Thanks, I just ordered the first one and the HDMI capture card since I only have two tuners!
Hopefully that solves everything for me. I probably just bought junk encoders!
Out of curiosity, what are you using to playback the video over the Tailscale VPN? The Channels app? When running over Tailscale, does Channels work as it would on a local network? I don’t know how Channels handles this, but I’d be concerned that you were trying to use a transport stream over the Internet.
I was actually just playing locally on my Nvidia shield in my house. My Unraid server is on my tailnet and so is channels which probably caused that routing.
Ok. Just something that should be considered. I wouldn’t want you to get hung up on optimizing encoder settings if you might have something more significant going on.
Have you tried streaming directly from your encoder to your Nvidia Shield? You can use VLC for this. And if that is ok, do the same thing, but stream directly from ADBTuner using VLC?
Actually, I just realized I had a substream enabled on each of my encoders!
The CPU usage on both of just dropped quite a bit. I think actually let that go for a little bit with the substreams off to see if perhaps that was my issue the entire time.
I will say the LinkPi encoders traditionally have some sort of Black Friday sale on Amazon. That's coming up in a little over a week.
I'm looking to setup one of th eprojects here and need an encoder. thanks for the tip.
I'm glad I didn't buy another encoder.
I bought an Apple TV instead and of course it's working perfectly now with my current encoders. I did some research and it seems like Exoplayer struggles with 1080p60 content, dropping frames etc. It was actually fine in VLC and fine when I dropped to 30 FPS. I personally despise Apple, so I really had to suck it up for this one, but it actually is a really great device for this. It also makes sense why VLC worked because I think it's using a different rendering pipeline.
And here I thought the "Mac" in your username was an Apple reference 
No, it was an Apple reference when I was a kid. I'm 32 now. It just kind of stuck for years.
I'm actually side by side testing the Google TV streamer again and so far no output frames dropped. I'm thinking the Shield is just really old. I just can't reconcile Apple TV, so if I can get the Google TV streamer working, that's going to be my endgame here. The point is, it's not the encoder!!
Edit: GTV Streamer is good too. I guess there is a bug with the Shield since it's two of them.
