Is it possible to get an environment variable for ADBTUNER_HOST? That would be really, really helpful! I edited my config.yaml to set a default for myself, but it would be really cool to have an environment variable for that.
Actually, I believe we can pretty safely assume the value people specify for PORTAINER_HOST can be used as reasonable default for ADBTUNER_HOST (and in one or two other places). It'll still be possible to change it of course, as it'll look just like it does now, but with that value as the default instead of using my host value.
That's even better. Thank you!
This is done, and was pushed moments ago as bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2025.12.15).

Thank you. I'm going to test now!
Edit: It works. Thanks!! This is really so convenient!! 
I actually have an idea for a feature for this and for Sling.
I'm not sure if this is possible over the API. Maybe Olivetin can create a channel collection for all of the channels added and then add it to the list of collections available on clients. I personally like having on my sidebar on my Apple TV a little DirecTV section with all the DirecTV channels. I imagine this is also useful if you have multiple providers that you're breaking out.
I just had my first win with this today and I was able to not really delete any of my channels but add four new ones! This automation is super helpful!!
2 posts were merged into an existing topic: ADBTuner: A "channel tuning" application for networked Google TV / Android TV devices
Used the One click for the creation of this with osprey, fails to tune for me right now.
Not sure where the logs would be or where to check
The 'view' with the buttons for remote controls does work
Please post the ADBTuner Portainer-Logs for the failed tune. There's a Quick Actions button in the Portainer WebUI for that purpose.
We need the actual log text from a complete failed tuning cycle. Based on what little I can see in this screenshot, it appears you have no virtual tuners available. If you only have a single tuner encoder, you'll see that fairly often, especially if you're trying to channel surf.
Not sure if related but none of the apps on the box come up when selecting for picking an app
And that is why in the logs it says 'no tuner avaible' when trying to play com.att.tv or com.att.tv.openvideo
File "/app/app/routers/admin.py", line 199, in installed_packages

Is your ADBTuner container up-to-date? You need to be running the most recent version with the development tag.
Half way there now
Some channels are working correctly but for example MeTV is not tuning correctly.
ESPN, CBS, NBC tune correctly.
Not sure where that disconnect would be
Current Device Settings
shows as MeTV but it is still on the previous channel
As I said, we need complete logs not screenshots. Post the entire tuning cycle for a failed tune, which you can get from Portainer-Logs. There's nothing sensitive in the logs that I'm aware of -- things like the TuneID are internal identifiers to help with debugging, and interpreting the logs.
Here's an example from a tune I just did:

You don't need to redact your deep links by the way. They're not sensitive. Everyone has the same deep links. There's actually zero sensitive information in this logging or an ADB tuner at all whatsoever. So that's just completely unnecessary.
DirecTV bug where I logged into the website and it pulled the guide data for a different DirecTV account I have and not the one logged into on the the Osprey.
Last issue is that none of the streams from the tuner work in the chrome browser but do work on clients
Something very odd, I set this up with project one click for directv stream. I am using onn pro boxes and an linkpi 5 tuner hdmi encoder. It works fine for all of my channels except for the mgm+ channels. on those it wont tune. any advice is welcome. thanks.
edit: disregard. I switched adbtuner to development and it started working.
Not much we can do about that. However, I would try logging out and logging back to DTV -- and/or you could try dumping "Cached images and files" (all time) in your browser history.
I would guess you're running into this issue:
If so, you'll find the streams work fine in Firefox -- or really any other browser.
Firefox is indeed the work around. Thanks!
All set for now!
