@rss7 I'd still like the answers to these questions -- including the actual Hulu package name on the TiVo, whether it's the same as the Streamer or not...
package name on the tivo Stream 4K device is: com.hulu.livingroomplus. its running android 12.
Here are the env variables from stacks. I could not open the editor to get them to appear exactly like your example, but there screenshots of what the env variables are in the stack. :
Click on the Advanced mode to copy/paste text, like it says in your screenshot
Then copy them and paste them
```
If you paste between two lines of three backticks
It will look like this
```
If you paste between two lines of three backticks
It will look like *this*
Using the ws-scrcpy ADB shell available on port 7655, run the following command:
dumpsys package com.hulu.livingroomplus 2>/dev/null | awk '/^Activity Resolver Table:/{f=1} f&&/^[^[:space:]]/&&$0!="Activity Resolver Table:"{exit} f'
Then post the results here. We want to get an idea what schemes and non-data actions are available. It should look similar to this:

From that same ADB shell try running this command:

Then check with VLC connected to your encoder to confirm if CNN starts playing.
If that doesn't work try:
am start -n com.hulu.livingroomplus/.WKFactivity -d hulu://www.hulu.com/watch/cnn-d8bcc76b-0ab5-4b4f-bf87-a707fd94e04d
Post errors here if neither work.
First command ran without error but Tivo screen got stuck on "who's watching" screen waiting for the profile to be chosen and this came back: Starting: Intent { dat=https://www.hulu.com/... cmp=com.hulu.livingroomplus/.WKFactivity }
2nd one I tried got CNN to play! And it came back with this response: Warning: Activity not started, intent has been delivered to currently running top-most instance. Did you just prove that deeplinks works on this Tivo Stream 4K?
Just tried the tivo with ADBtuner and it works. Not sure what I did wrong on 1st attempt with it but you were right! Thanks for all of your help.

I'm new to AH4C and testing it out. I noticed I can't get this menu to load and I'm not sure what I have misconfigured. I'm just using standard docker compose. It errors out and causes the stream to time out when I click it.
Edit: It seems that this may not pertain to docker installs? Should it cause my stream to crash though?
Only the activity and logs options are relevant to Docker installations, and even those are of modest value, as the logs available through Portainer are best. You can pretty much ignore the WebUI, as it's mostly for non-Docker users, of which there are very few.
That's great to know. As as aside, is there a simple way to prevent my ospreys from sleeping when I stop tuning. I prefer to keep them running. It looks like I can just edit the bash script?
Any advice? Your help is always appreciated.
There are others that can help you more with Osprey specifics, but generally yes, a big part of what people like about ah4c is being able to customize the scripts.
prebmitune.sh wakes up the streaming device, or does any other quick setup to prepare for tuning.
bmitune.sh does the virtual tuning.
stopbmitune.sh puts the device to sleep, or performs any other post tune requirements.
All three scripts must exist, but the can be no-op, if they're not needed.
Is there a way to delay the stream coming up on the TV, kind of like with ADB Tuner?
The only thing I'm running into is when I don't sleep the boxes and tune to a channel, it shows the previous channel for a good 2 to 3 seconds before it tunes to the new channel. I'm just curious if there's a way to avoid that.
I'm trying to modify the shell script to allow me to do that. I just can't figure out exactly the architecture to get that to work.
That doesn't require scripts modification, but is rather done this way:

Thank you so much! That was super easy to set up!
@bnhf I love this project. I found another way to delay the stream!
A shell script:
delay-script.sh
#!/bin/bash
sleep 3
exec curl -sN "$1"
Then in the .env
CMD1=/opt/scripts/path/to/delay-stream.sh ${ENCODER1_URL}
CMD2=/opt/scripts/path/to/delay-stream.sh ${ENCODER2_URL}
CMD3=/opt/scripts/path/to/delay-stream.sh ${ENCODER3_URL}
CMD4=/opt/scripts/path/to/delay-stream.sh ${ENCODER4_URL}
CMD5=/opt/scripts/path/to/delay-stream.sh ${ENCODER5_URL}
CMD6=/opt/scripts/path/to/delay-stream.sh ${ENCODER6_URL}
I also wrote a Python script inspired by the OliveTin action to generate DirecTV m3u files.

Glad to hear it!
What's the advantage in doing it this way vs the ffmpeg approach?
I would have incorporated your script into OliveTin, but it was Windows specific. And actually, I was able to duplicate those couple hundred lines of Python in what's essentially a single jq command. Tools like jq make Bash a pretty sweet way to go for scripts like this.
This has been pushed as bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2026.03.29), and the new Create an ah4c DirecTV M3U is available in the classic Dashboard or Project WebUI+.
Actually, my script was written on Mac!
Thank you for implementing that action, though!!
So the reason for delaying the stream that way is it doesn't cut out any video. It literally pauses the execution of the stream by a few seconds.
It's also inherently a slightly lighter weight, but not by much. I'm actually able to let my Ospreys sleep now because I picked up a different USB capture card that doesn't freeze when I let them sleep. It turns out those Elgato Camlink 4Ks freeze when they lose HDMI connection.
I'm going to make a separate post in the LinkPi thread about what I actually did.
I guess when I see PowerShell being used in a script, I don't really think of it as cross-platform, but maybe I'm wrong.
Powershell was for Windows clipboard support. It grabbed off the clipboard on Mac as well. In fact I used it first on Mac and tested onn Windows later!
