This works very well! I've installed on my ubuntu vm alongside Channels-DVR. I'm not real familiar with Docker but followed your directions without any issues. One addition I made was to run "docker update --restart unless-stopped pluto-for-channels" afterward to ensure the docker container starts again if the system is rebooted. Coincidentally, I needed to reboot for a kernel update and everything came back up just fine afterward.
Great stuff!
Because OCD is real, I was hoping to create sources only for the group-titles I am interested in. Using the Docker implementation for Pluto I entered
http://127.0.0.1:8080/playlist.m3u?group-title=Movies
I was expecting to only get the channels tagged as Movies, but all channels were returned. When I fronted Pluto with xteve, this worked as a Channels-DVR source and only returned movie channels.
Any suggestions?
Perhaps this should go under feature requests, but now that it's possible to add Pluto and Stirr etc, would it be possible to include the sources in the filter dropdown in the Guide?
Personally, I'd like to see the opposite approach. The guide in the administrative web UI ought to always show all channels. The default setting of Favorites is especially annoying, particularly when setting up a new DVR and wondering why the guide is empty, only belatedly realizing you haven't set any favorites yet.
Remove the list from the web UI. Allow the clients to create arbitrary "bookmark" groups of channels, and replace the "Favorite/HD/SD/All" selector in the clients with the user-defined bookmarks.
This is awesome. Thanks for adding m3u support.
Hi, based on the included examples, would you expect this to work ? https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3p6vxxp3
That’s a feature of Xteve. The thing I posted simply generates a full M3U of all of Pluto TV to a file and serves it over HTTP. There’s no real functionality. You can use other M3U tools to filter the channels if you’d like.
That’s an add on for Kodi.
Thank you for getting this out to all of us. This only adds to the value of this software!
Is there any reason why these channels don't pop up under Movies or News or Kids?
Ok. Thanks. Regardless, this has been an early Christmas!
Great stuff! Thank you for this.
I added Pluto as a source and the streams are working well. I kicked off a few recordings just for grins and ran across a few oddities:
BTW, couldn't get the commercial editor working in the DVR web, but it worked fine in iOS.
Sorry Jon, I wasn't referring to the docker project but the overall functionality of this feature and whether I can use Matts's Kodi add-on like the his Pluto TV (which I don't. know why its so popular 
).
I'll look into it more. Integrating Kayo would be a game changer.
The EPG stuff being used doesn’t have that kind of data. This is all incorporated from data that Gracenote provides.
If they source their channels with an M3U in some manner, then yes, that’s how custom channels are powered.
This is going to be rough as Channels’ recording features are designed around robust data. These sources just don’t have that great of data, series art for example. They don’t even provide season numbers.
Your mileage will very much vary when recording from custom channels.
It is m3u but when I experimented with Telly, I noticed that the link wasn't static so I am not sure how Matt manages that in his Kodi add-on. I know that he has a tvheadend fork of some kind
Understood. It's all good. At this point I am just playing with the new toy y'all provided. If I get something I want to keep, I figure I am clever enough to figure out adding/cleaning up the data
RTSP camera issues should be fixed in v2020.11.17.1955
Unfortunately still not working in 1955. Diagnostics submitted e587342e-bc51-448b-944b-3d23087d6c95
I’m still looking for M3U lists to test in channels to see how well the presentation is.
Please DM me ones you might be using!!
