Have you tried checking the "compatibility" box for your channels. I see you are running an older Firestick. I didn't have as much luck with my older Firesticks, and ended up going with new Chromecasts.
Yeah. It's checked. I wonder if I just have the wrong information. Does anyone have a westcoast list for yttv
This is what I have for YouTube TV USA West, https://tv.youtube.com/watch/DJ7m0fdLKEY
I am not sure if they are the same for everyone or specific to each login.
I found the links through the youtube tv website. And I posted a full .json file for importing into ADBTuner. However, it only contains east coast streams and doesn't contain locals as they are geolocated.
Its not user specific.
how can I remove the channels all at once?
here is what my logs give me.. not sure what i am doing wrong.

When I type in this URL https://tv.youtube.com/watch/M2YyNsA47Lw it tries to show me Law and Order:SVU. Maybe your links are wrong.
does this stream only tv everywhere?
No, any channel that has a link, can be tuned and streamed. That's one of the great things about these solutions, is you can pull channels into the ChannelsDVR that never had TVE.
does the app have to be on or just installed on the device?
In a nutshell ADBTuner tunes the app on an android device which outputs via HDMI to an encoder which then streams video to Channels. So yes the app will be on when it is being used. ADBTuner will open the app if it is not already open and theoretically turn to the correct live channel.
so i need an encoder? Is that why its not working? They are all m3u8
Yes you do. Yes that’s why. And you really need to read the beginning of this thread. And you need to also read up a little on HDMI for Channels.
This post from a couple of weeks ago may also clear things up a little.
And now I understand why you asked this. It actually doesn't really have anything to do with TVE. TVE is an authentication method which is bypassed using this method as the apps on the devices take care of authentication.
man... my encoder is ffmpeg and streamlink why do i need a hardware encoder?
It is how you convert your hardware Android device’s physical hdmi output to a video stream format Channels can use.
there has to be a way to take this video stream and remux or transcode without a hardware encoder. I mean the streams are m3u8 as it is, why would it need encoded? why not have chromium stream it and the software remux or copy?
