Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#1

Hi All,

I was seeing a handful of channels not loading the stream with my Xfinity login (FS1, FS2, etc.). I attempted multiple times to rescan the channels to get them to work. When I was unsuccessful for the umpteenth time, I decided to remove the Xfinity source and add it back. Now I am unable to successfully add back the source. I am getting this error: "Blocked by Xfinity: There was an error processing your request. Please try again. Access Denied. You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server."

Has anyone ever had this issue before? I have been happily running channels server for about 4/5 years now and haven't seen this issue before. I can use the networks websites with my log in and successfully watch. When it was connected I was able to access other channels streams successfully as well. Any troubleshooting tips are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Are you on the latest Pre-release there was a Change so make sure you are updated.

#3

I did update with the latest prerelease. I think I am going to do a complete shut down of the server and turn it back on. See it that has any impact.

#4

Dang, same result…

Maybe XFINITY Blocked that user have you logged into XFINITY Account with it.

#6

Doubt that if it works on the networks live streaming sites.

#7

What OS are you running your Channels DVR Server on?
Did you run Support > Troubleshooting and see all green checkmarks?

#8

I am running it on a raspberry pi 4. I did do the troubleshooting process and all checks passed.

#9

PI support is ending.

#10

Just the custom Channels DVR build. Could still install it on a pi as a Linux install.

#11

It is the custom build that was created. I was reading through Raspberry Pi section of the Channels website and there is a section that indicates that TV Everywhere sources are not supported on Raspberry Pi. I wonder if that is new, because I have been using TVE sources since day one.

I have seen the notifications of support ending for the Raspberry Pi, but I thought I would be able to at least maintain the set up I currently have for a little longer. Maybe that is not the case and I will need to figure out a new setup sooner than I thought.

#13

I "think" what it means is that it may or may not work, but you'll get no support for it.

#14

I think you are right. Time to start looking for a new device/OS. What set up do you use?

#15

Personally, I use Synology NAS's, because I already had them and they suit my needs.

Depends on your needs. Check these links.

#16

Thanks for the information! I think I will start the migration sooner rather than later.
