Chrome Capture for Channels

I installed the Docker in Windows and it is working as described (i.e, you cannot log in to providers).

FYI, NBC News Now seems to work without a log in, so it had that going for it!

Weatherscan couldn't seem to figure out my location and gave me a blank generic screen, but Windy had no issue.

Try hanging x11vnc off of the Xvfb:

x11vnc -display :99 

Substitute 99 for the ID that the docker container is starting. Then you can VNC into the session to login.

I think I've caused the same issue. After trying to watch in the Web UI, I started to get page not found errors in the Client UI. Rebooted everything, reinstalled the Docker, now cannot connect at all.

20/06/2023 13:55:13 XOpenDisplay(":99") failed.
20/06/2023 13:55:13 Trying again with XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost ...

20/06/2023 13:55:13 ***************************************
20/06/2023 13:55:13 *** XOpenDisplay failed (:99)

*** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":99", it cannot continue.
*** There may be "Xlib:" error messages above with details about the failure.

Some tips and guidelines:

** An X server (the one you wish to view) must be running before x11vnc is
   started: x11vnc does not start the X server.  (however, see the -create
   option if that is what you really want).

** You must use -display <disp>, -OR- set and export your $DISPLAY
   environment variable to refer to the display of the desired X server.
 - Usually the display is simply ":0" (in fact x11vnc uses this if you forget
   to specify it), but in some multi-user situations it could be ":1", ":2",
   or even ":137".  Ask your administrator or a guru if you are having
   difficulty determining what your X DISPLAY is.

** Next, you need to have sufficient permissions (Xauthority) 
   to connect to the X DISPLAY.   Here are some Tips:

 - Often, you just need to run x11vnc as the user logged into the X session.
   So make sure to be that user when you type x11vnc.
 - Being root is usually not enough because the incorrect MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE
   file may be accessed.  The cookie file contains the secret key that
   allows x11vnc to connect to the desired X DISPLAY.
 - You can explicitly indicate which MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file should be used
   by the -auth option, e.g.:
       x11vnc -auth /home/someuser/.Xauthority -display :0
       x11vnc -auth /tmp/.gdmzndVlR -display :0
   you must have read permission for the auth file.
   See also '-auth guess' and '-findauth' discussed below.

** If NO ONE is logged into an X session yet, but there is a greeter login
   program like "gdm", "kdm", "xdm", or "dtlogin" running, you will need
   to find and use the raw display manager MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file.
   Some examples for various display managers:

     gdm:     -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth
              -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth
     kdm:     -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-crWk72
              -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-crWk72
     xdm:     -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-XQvaJk
     dtlogin: -auth /var/dt/A:0-UgaaXa

   Sometimes the command "ps wwwwaux | grep auth" can reveal the file location.

   Starting with x11vnc 0.9.9 you can have it try to guess by using:

              -auth guess

   (see also the x11vnc -findauth option.)

   Only root will have read permission for the file, and so x11vnc must be run
   as root (or copy it).  The random characters in the filenames will of course
   change and the directory the cookie file resides in is system dependent.

It might be using a different screen ID other than 99. I don't have the docker container here but will look into installing later today/tomorrow.

In the meantime try listing the ps and see if the screen is defined:

ps -ef|grep Xvfb

I tried the Windows version. It doesn't have the issue with Weatherscan that the Docker one did, so that was a plus. Also, I seem to be able to play in the Web UX without much issue. However...

(1) Chrome stays open even after the stream is closed. Would want to close the whole window.

(2) I still cannot log in with Cox. It is still giving me the Error 15. I wondered if it had to do with opening a Chrome window without a user logged in, but I created my profile in that Chrome and it made no difference. It is very specifically Cox because I tried dozens of other providers and they all brought me to their login pages. Okay, I cound a workaround for this. I had to launch with something like Windy, then go to login.cox.com and log in directly. It still brought me to the error page, but it appeared to be enough to capture my credentials. Once I launched an NBC station, it asked me to pick a provider. I picked Cox and it logged in. Every launch after that has gone as expected!

For those looking for the Custom Channel setup:

Or with MPEG-TS instead of HLS...

... seems a bit faster and more stable.

You can also change "localhost" to the IP Address of where you have this installed. You could also put additional things like setting the station numbers to match to the old TVE numbers, if you wish.

Note that I did not put Universo in there because I do not have access, but it would be:

#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="Universo (East)",Universo(East)
chrome://localhost:5589/stream/universo

#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="Universo (West)",Universo (West)

@tmm1, in the main.js, Universo (West) should have a 'p' at the end. Right now both East and West are the same: Fixed v0.11

Also, you are missing the Telemundo (Local).

If you check to manage lineup, you should have things already mapped for you (or at least I did; I had so many moving parts I wasn't sure if this was automatic or if it picked up on something I did before):

Could this potentially be used to record my chrome browser playing MLB.tv if I were to log in with my credentials, and start a stream manually? One of the killer features I've been hoping for was the ability to record and save archived games that I have access to using my MLB.tv login. Also in theory, I'd love to switch the audio to the radio broadcast and record that stream as I could not l never get that working in the MLB.tv docker.

I recorded a full episode of "Shark Tank" on CNBC last night. There is some good news and bad news.

I'll start with the good news...

Channels reports that the recording completed without any issues:

No errors reported in the Chrome Capture terminal:

I'm not sure if the reason for the 2 connections is because I first watched the channel live before the recording, I don't remember. Maybe it would be good to add timestamps. :wink:

I was able to start playing the recording in VLC with both video and audio, both in sync. :+1:

That was the good news. Now, the bad news...

When viewing the details of the recording, it shows audio bit rate of zero:

During playback in VLC, I noticed that it jumps sometimes but I only noticed it during commercials.

The picture size is a little bit off:

This can be seen in more details when I loaded the video in HandBrake with automatic video cropping to remove the black bars around the picture:

Also notice that HandBrake reports no audio tracks even though it's fine in VLC.

VideReDo could not open the file:

When it's done, it leaves the Chrome window open like this:

I don't know whether it is too late now or even if this will be useful but just in case:
Logs have been submitted as bbdba5f7-3fef-4b7d-a1d0-a8165a66ada9 .

If there is anything else I can provide, let me know.

I did a 3-minute test recording and saw it do this in the client playback during the regular show time, telling me it is in the recording this way. This makes me believe it is either how Chrome Capture works that has some inefficiencies, or something to do with local memory management.

Is the Stream Format supposed to be HLS?

...or MPEG-TS?

Neat!

Confirming that if you login to Google manually in the Puppeteer controlled Chrome instance the following works for YouTubeTV.

How do we access the instance of Chrome managed by Puppeteer? using either the windows app or docker?

I just tested it on a Mac real quick out of curiosity. I ran the Node app, let it open a chrome window to display a channel and then navigated to google.com and signed in. Cookies and such are stored in the ./chromedata directory within the app directory so it stayed logged in.

I presume in time there will be a better way. Just nice to know that it works.

It works either way and I barely noticed a difference (MPEG-TS seems to slightly faster and stabler in my case), so.... :man_shrugging:t3:

Still digesting all of this.
Please forgive stupid questions.

A few questions:

Using Windows 11.
Checked Chrome version, I have:
Chrome is up to date: Version 114.0.5735.134 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Per user “cyclone” Do I need 115, it says up to date, how would I get 115 ?

After I update to the latest CDVR pre-release
If I run this executable: chrome-capture-for-channels-win-x64.exe
Is that all I need to do then set up my Custom Channel(s)?

As I understand it if I use something like this, then the channel-id=”xxx” has to be one of the pre-set id’s like “cnbc”?
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="cnbc",CNBC
chrome://x.x.x.x:5589/stream/cbnc

Does Chrome open automatically?
.
If I use one like this with an actual url, then the channel-id=”xxx”, xxx can be whatever I want, for instance
.
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="beachcam",beachcam
chrome://x.x.x.x:5589/stream?url=http://bamabeachcams.com/sea-n-suds.aspx

WOW, that's a QUICK response.
I will try this soon, waiting for it to mature a little, maybe tomorrow, but it sure looks great.
As I have said, this CDVR app is the best!
Thanks

It is working for me, but I am getting a lot of buffering and frozen images. Very similar to if I was accessing it remotely.
