BETA: Chrome Capture for Channels

i've had no issues with this for a while but today this seems broken... not sure what changed. anybody else having issues?

I just checked, and seems to be working for me.

i'm running on windows... wonder if a chrome update broke it for me.

Node server runs and video is displayed in the Chrome window that pops up. The video appears to never be served to channels...

I had disabled Chrome updates on mine, so, I believe I'm still on version 114, if memory serves.

There are 1400 messages here. I have read a lot of them. Still don't know what I'm doing. I tried using docker. Got no video. Tried .EXE for win-64, Weatherscan shows video, but audio keeps cutting in and out. Command screen shows:

[2024/03/07 15:31:00.740] Chrome Capture server listening on port 5589

Windy shows video with no audio. Not sure if it has any audio.

Any hints on what to try next?

New info:
My GPU is running at 85% to 99% while Chrome capture is running.

want to update after uninstalling and reinstalling chrome it works again. not sure what the issues were.

Hi all, I am giving this a go on Windows 11. I got the weatherscan to show but all youtubetv channels give me a white screen.

I think we know that YTTV does not work reliably with CC4C. It works very well with ADBTuner, however. But, that requires additional hardware.

Thanks, I ordered a URayCoder HEVC H.265 H.264 Live HDMI Video Encoder this morning. Thought I give this a shot until I receive it 2morrow.

I removed Chrome and reinstalled. I now have version 122.0. Is this version okay? If not, where do I get a better one?

@TV_Ken, I'm still on version 114 with no issues, for what that is worth. I'm not using the PC running CC4C for anything else, so I'm not too concerned about keeping that outdated version running. I've used uptodown to pull previous versions in the past.

Nope, unfortunately :pensive:. If you manage to get anywhere, let me know! Still would be great, and, if someone can get it to work reliably for NBC, Iā€™d probably use that instead of my Mac solution!

NBC seems to be working fine even on Chrome 122 Im on a simple dedicated CC4C / Channels PC

Yeah all of the NBC channels work fine for me.

I see your viewing inside the channels applet itself.
I have had issues with CC4C channels playing inside the app BUT play fine on the TV or Phone
Just saying

@ hofs1, it does work on the TV. Thanks for that information. I also got the HDMI encoder working with ADBTuner yesterday. Thanks again!

I've forgotten how to get the stream page to click the play button? I thought I had done this before for like NBC live channels.

I've got an Amazon Prime series streamlink to the show I want to play, but the video doesn't start unless I click the play button.
