Are any other clients updated to use the new tags, or just iOS/tvOS?
RSTP camera is working again for me too. Woohoo! Thanks!

I know this may be a big ask, but it would be nice to be able to record these streams at some point. There are a ton of ways that I can do this outside of Channels, but I am digging the integrated solution. No need for scheduling or anything like that. Just manual record would make me happy. Can't speak for anyone else...

You can use the tricks for manual recording to record from channels with no guide info:

Tried installing in Docker on Raspberry Pi4 and got this error:
docker: no matching manifest for linux/arm/v7 in the manifest list entries.
Thanks. But if I have to put down the remote and go to my computer, it really defeats the point for me. A quick way to record for a bit would be great for me. I know this isn’t likely because nothing else records like that in Channels. Just thought I would toss it out there in case I’m wrong.

Looks like it’s just arm64. I’ll look into an arm7 build.

OK try now, there's arm6 and arm7 images now.

It's on the devs' radar, but has yet to be implemented. There are a bunch of UI/UX issues surrounding manual recordings and library integration to consider; hopefully it'll happen soon, but don't hold your breath.

Still giving errors:
pi@raspberrypi : ~ $ docker pull jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels
no matching manifest for linux/arm/v7 in the manifest list entries
Yeah. I figured it was in that “sounds easy, but it’s not” category. Channels has already surpassed every dvr I've ever used. I was an early TiVo adopter. I’m not about to complain.

Weird, I'm not sure what happened. I saw the builds there. But then they were gone.
They're up there now. Try again.

ok, I don't get that error anymore, but I can't get it to work. I can't connect to any variation:
120.0.0.1:8080
localhost:8080
192.168.1.3:8080
all just give connection error. This is both trying to connect remotely, or directly on the pi. And inputting
http://127.0.0.1:8080/playlist.m3u
http://127.0.0.1:8080/epg.xml
into Channels DVR returns 0 channels
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
4d6249778d0a jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels "/usr/src/app/entryp…" About a minute ago Exited (1) About a minute ago pluto-for-channels
I don't know enough about Docker to troubleshoot or get you logs. I got it to run in Docker on my Mac, but wanted to move it to my pi where the DVR is running and is up 24/7.

I've been able to add my individual IP cameras using their rtsp feeds. I'd like to add the Blue Iris rtsp feed as it merges all 4 of my cameras into one quad view feed with timestamp overlays.
I am using this format for the custom M3U playlist, but I just get a playback failed message when I try to view it in channels.
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:5,Quad View
rtsp://username:[email protected]:81/main
If I paste rtsp://username:[email protected]:81/main into VLC the stream works just fine. Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm not sure what's going on there. I haven't tried it on a pi though.
Wow I didn't you know you specify the layout eg. Quadview in the url. Cool
