Cannot add DirecTV as TV Everywhere source

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#32

After it completes go into the source and scan individual channels.

And make sure you are on the latest prerelease.

I’ve had good luck scanning between 6-8 am CST

Only 74 of 150 worked and it's only what I consider junk channels that worked. I tried rescanning individual channels but still getting authentication failed messages. I'll try again in the early morning.

Did something change? I have been using Channels for many years and TVE was reliable for the most part.

For me Directv Stream has been consistent since the beginning. I’ve seen some isolated issues but authenticating has been horrendous the last 2-3 months. It took me over a day to authorize my last Osprey.

Hope you get it working!

#35

I now have 106/150 channels. I have the ones I need now. Thanks for helping me out!

#36

I have the DirecTV My Entertainment and My Cinema packages. 106/150 is what I am typically able to authorize on TVE. I got lucky and have 107 right now.

#37

I am having the same issue has anyone come up with a solution?

#38

If you're trying to add DirecTV as a new TV Everywhere source, the only solution seems to be trying both DirecTV and DirecTV Stream as sources. Also, having patience and being persistent, making attempts repeatedly and at different times of the day/week. When I initially signed up for DirecTV, it took about 12 hours before I managed to add the TVE source.

I am seeing this issue tonight. I already have DIRECTV Stream as a source, and yet I couldn't tune any channels using TVE. Looking at the logs I see:

action=tvejs msg="directvLogin: no password"

(among other things, of course). I have confirmed that my password is in there correctly. I've also tried to add just DIRECTV as a source, and it, too, fails with the password that's correct.

I was able to login directly in my browser, though admittedly that took a refresh to get it to bring me to the login page.

Is it just "sorry, this is an issue with the DIRECTV authentication servers" or is there something (else) I can try?

I also am seeing this failure. Lost a couple of channels this morning, tried rescanning some individual channels and they are no longer being authorized. Hopefully developers can fix. TVE is so nice when it works.

Same issue here, Directv Stream will not authenticate with TV Everywhere. I first noticed it last night and it is still failing this morning.

#42

Same issue for me. CHDVR will not tune TVE channels from DTV, but no problems from YTTV. I use the DTV and DTV stream sources.

#43

I checked my test server and got the no password error with Directv.

Synology server

As a test, I was successful logging in to DirecTV's TVE in my browser on my laptop. I went to https://www.tntdrama.com and watched something without issue, so it definitely allows TVE logins that way.

It's been so long since I've done it that I'm not sure what, if anything, is new. But it does go to ttps://identity.directv.com/weblogin/authenticate which asks for my username. Then once I enter my username I'm brought to a second pane (seemingly via JavaScript) that lets me enter my password.

Perhaps that part is new and ChannelsDVR needs to be updated to follow along there? :thinking:

Edit: I've submitted my logs as 180e9cab-91e7-4d59-b102-4839b72a804f in case that helps (and also emailed support, as instructed when submitting my logs :slight_smile: ).

I’ve submitted a diagnostic from my test server, in case it helps.
