Is there a way to have channels automatically startup without having to login on MacOS? My iMac crashes every once in a while and will boot back up but I don’t notice it until a few hours later. Sometimes shows get missed because of this.
By the way, I’m not blaming Channels for the iMac crashing.
Easiest way is to set your mac to auto-login to your user account.
Alternatively you can setup the DVR as a system service, although some have reported that doing so breaks hardware transcoding.
Run:
./channels-dvr/uninstall.sh
./channels-dvr/install.sh --system
It will ask for your password to install as a system service.
