This is false; Vega is only for go-forward new devices (for the time being, Amazon may change their mind when if it should crash and burn and they lose market share). No older devices are being ported. They are just scared Google may screw with them eventually if they stay Android only.

Wonder if this could be tweaked to work with ADBTuner and HDMI capture.
Not sure if posted anywhere, but the DirecTV app now allows for increasing the "Are you still watching?" prompt from 4 hours to 12 hours. Just confirmed on one of my Onn boxes. Figured some of you would like to know.

That's great! It has been an option on the DTV app for my Roku sticks. I have been hoping that it would migrate to the ONN boxes. Thanks for confirming!
Oh, just a tip. If you set your config to press play with the timed commands every hour or so, you'll never run into this. The play button doesn't actually show anything on the screen, but it sends a heartbeat that prevents the keep watching prompt from ever appearing
Yeah, that's a solid suggestion as well. I have already changed my "still watching" settings on the DTV apps for my onn boxes to 12 hours. It's unlikely that I'll ever have same channel consecutive recordings exceeding 12 hours. But, I'v always been a "belt and suspenders" kind of guy. So, I am adding 60 minute "play" commands to the Compatibility mode configuration I use for DTV.
I pushed an update (20260531-3) to the development version this morning. Nothing exciting, just updated all third-party dependencies to supported versions and fixed a few small bugs. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Just added Paramount Network to my Hulu Live TV adbtuner. I can't add this channel to the guide. Any suggestions?
ok, so I have a reason to spin up an adbtuner container now. anybody using with hdhomerun? I don't need my local news in supper high res, some jobsites have bad cell and makes it hard to watch at lunch.
(also no, transcoding delays skipping around too much for me, so I use direct/original and 720 works great)
Love adbtuner. Finally swapped out an old Tivo stream 4K with ONN 4K plus and the ONN device has been solid. Any way to stay ahead of Hulu changing channel IDs? I get the channel ID by tuning to the channel with a browser and copying the URL into adbtuner. That always works for a while, but then Hul
u changes it. It's Paramount channel.
With all (?) of the World Cup matches being broadcast in 4K on Fox and FS1 via DTV, has anybody been successful setting these 4K alternate channels up in ADBTuner?
Nah...I tried with Channels numbers (and channel name)...and it didn't work. Had the "old hardware is not sufficient error"
I've since switched to YTTV. I just use streamlinks for stuff like that since my LinkPis can't do HDR
I have ADBTuner working great with DirecTv (1 Osprey, 2 Gemini Air) - I recently added a custom configuration to launch the android spectrum tv app on the Directv devices - I did this for a couple of channels that are only there. It works and I get the channels I want reliably, however the Spectrum app is left open and streaming after the tuner connection closes.
I tried adding:
"compatibility_mode": true
to the global options in my configuration but it didn't seem to help.
Is there any other way I can have the app close after a stream terminates?
I don't have DTV and have not tried Fubo with their 4k channels for it, but they do work well with EPlusTV and the FoxOne integration. If the broadcast is in 4k for either channel it will automatically select that feed and record in 4k.

I've spent weeks trying to get ADBTuner working on my Mac mini, but both the Android and Endpoint connections keep failing. I re-installed the Docker image this weekend after deleting it out a few weeks ago. I got my device (Onn box) and encoder connected, but within 24 hours, both connections suddenly failed. I can connect to my encoder through a web browser, and my Android device's IP hasn't changed. I have developer options enabled, and so is wireless debugging. I'm unsure what the issue can be at this point, so I would appreciate any thoughts or troubleshooting.
Can someone please provide guidance on how to properly get Hulu Live adbtuner channel IDs?
I set up ADBtuner a few months after it first came out. The instructions were so good and it's worked so well that I don't remember much about getting it up and running, and I've just used it since. Until a week ago, when it quit working, and digging back into it is pretty foggy for me.
As a note, my channels DVR is running on an up-to-date Ubuntu Linux server, also where ADBTuner is hosted. A few weeks ago, I moved the server to a new subnet, changed the IP the clients connect to, all has been well. In case that matters
The experience now is programs I schedule to record through Channels scheduling through ADBtuner result in corrupted or damaged files. Black screen for video, or not, audio track completely missing, or not, or a file that generally looks OK but can't be navigated via ffwd or rewind.
Programs recorded via TVE show no issues.
When I log into the Portainer interface, I see the Local instance, the only one I have, it says up, little green check. If I click on the environment to manage it, it immediately goes to 'down', error of "Failed loading environment - The environment named local is unreachable." and nothing else will bring it back that I've tried short of rebooting the server.
ADBTuner itself shows to be up and "Endpoint Connection Successful" status. None of the configured channels have changed. If I use the Preview feature, I can see a the correct channel come up.
Would love any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.
