It doesn't look like you used the step-by-step I posted for creating a cc4c LXC in Proxmox:
BTW, it's no problem to pass an iGPU through to this LXC, but neither Chrome or Puppeteer really make use of it. It works when viewing something like Weatherscan, but I've never seen any other sign of hardware acceleration kicking-in.
If your Proxmox server has decent specs, and you follow the recommendations in the thread for vCPUs and memory, the LXC version of cc4c runs well without it.
No, I didn't. I didn't even know of that thread nor did I think to look for something so specialized. I will check it out when I next have time, probably Monday.
I thought someone had gotten it to work or perhaps it was just wishful thinking after seeing it mentioned in the docs. I'm still mystified as how some (many?) of you get 1080 video working. Even with my R9 9950x, I can only get smooth video at 720.
Even if the GPU acceleration doesn't work, I still need a platform to try to test fullscreen fixes for ESPN+. @KineticMan's fix didn't work for me with @tmm1's Docker image and your image doesn't work for me at all because of the illegal instruction issue.
Howdy folks. Very new to this forum and platform. Found a post on kayo streams working through channels dvr via a program called CC4C. Bit interested in getting this working as I've got something similar working in tivimate for Foxtel channels.
Current setup is my portainer on my NAS has channels dvr installed, and working. Got a desktop and a laptop with cc4c installed from the GitHub fancy bits repo. So far on the desktop I'm able to get the stream playing in chrome, but for some reason capturing never begins and never sends to channels?
Thanks to @tree2369 for helping me so far.
@KineticMan, would you mind explaining the logic in your change? My JS knowledge isn't all that good but I think there might be a bug, at least in my case. Specifically, why is globalThis.__cc4c_sentFullscreen cleared in armFullscreenFallback() and why isn't it checked in the "Handle ESPN" case?
At the timeout, I see the video switch to fullscreen and then right back to non-fullscreen. I kind of worked around the issue by commenting out the first two invocations of xdotool leaving only the ones in the ESPN and NBC cases in place. With that, the video switches to fullscreen after the timeout and then stays that way.
Also, does anyone know the special logic for Peacock, Spectrum, etc. in the @tmm1' s original code? If possible, I'd prefer to switch to fullscreen as soon as possible. I started to test some ideas by hooking hooking into the code that matches on peacock.com to also match on espn.com. As far as I could tell, though, control never got to the point where any of the special cases were matched.
Hey there. To be honest, I don't even remember exactly WHY I did what I did, but you are right - it certainly is a bug.
"Why is globalThis.__cc4c_sentFullscreen cleared in armFullscreenFallback()?"
Bug: It shouldn't be! It should only be cleared once at the start of each NEW stream request, not every time we arm the fallback.
"Why isn't it checked in the 'Handle ESPN' case?"
Bug: It absolutely should be! Every place that sends the fullscreen key needs to check this flag first to prevent duplicates.
Let me mess around with it today and patch it. All I remember it was a real PITA to get it to work, and once it did, I walked away. 
Speaking of your fullscreen option, is there a way to make it work for other channels not in lanes? For example, I have the Golf channel in a separate custom channel and if I were to change the main js, it wouldn't work with the required schema. Or would it?
Unless of course you could get the Golf channel in one of your projects 
.
what handler does Golf channel require to go full screen? it can be added.
and your other request-- maybe? golf channel have their own app?
I think they have an app, I'm using the website currently. The below is what I added to the original main.js file. It invokes fullscreen and unmutes the video.
// Handle Golf Channel
else if (u.includes('golfchannel.com')) {
console.log('URL contains golfchannel.com')
try {
// Click the full screen button
await delay (1000)
await page.keyboard.press('KeyF');
console.log("Pressed F");
// Unmute Audio
await delay (1200)
await page.keyboard.press('KeyM');
console.log("Pressed M");
console.log('Set Golf Channel to Full Screen and Unmute')
} catch (e) {
console.log('Error for golfchannel.com:', e)
}Okay. I'll take another look at the original special case code. I can see a button to toggle full screen in the browser console. I should just need to figure out how to detect ir programmatically.
Does anyone else have to login to NBC/Bravo every few hours? In my docker cc4c instance I can't seem to stay logged in so when tuning to an NBC or Bravo channel it often goes to a "User Needs to Re-Authenticate" page.
Hey folks. I'm getting closer to getting kayo streams working on channels using @tree2369 method, however I'm getting rather stuck on a particular part of the js file.
I'm using ChatGPT at the moment to try and help, but wondering what other js code people have been using for cc4c on windows where it successfully loads chrome, then unpacks the required extension used for video capture, then loads a stream and then is able to start capturing!
The furthest I've gotten this far is chrome browser loads, chrome loads ext, chrome loads kayo stream, but capture never starts. Thanks all and happy new year to everyone!!!
Morning folks,
I just posted on the kayo fir channels forum page but should let this forum know as well of my findings. For my setup, using the suppled github instructions of "bun main.js" completely made the kayo script just not work at all. As soon as I installed node.js after some chatgpt research, the CC4C app through the guthub repo now works flawlessly using "node main.js". Not sure if this is expected behavior, but for anyone have issues with cc4c on windows, try with node instead of bun. Happy new year all
What is the most recent version of Chrome that is working using the node approach for windows 11? I've followed some of the earlier thread instructions to avoid updates and am currently using Version 138.0.7204.184.
Mine is working fine with version 144.0.755.9.60.
wondering if others are still seeing this with the latest chrome on linux? I appear to be getting into this problem, though NBC.com is fine.
Cc4c was working for me last Monday, 1/12/2026, but not today. Today, Spectrum was displaying a message that i need to update to the latest version of Crome, etc, and would not play the stream. ChatGPT said that indeed they tightened controls yet again, and that is their generic error message when they dont detect Widevine among other transgressions. I noticed that i was running the version of Chrome thats bundled with Puppeteer, and it recommended running the latest stable version. It recommended removing the try/catch block that finds Chrome, and replace it with the hardcoded path to chrome-stable. This is for linux, so it would be different on different platforms. Tghis is an improvment in a way, because cc4c woudnt work at all with new versions of Chrome, but now it does. For now...
All - I wanted to share a little experiment I've been working on for a while called PrismCast. It's macOS-only (although it should work on other platforms...untested/unvalidated by me). It's inspired by the foundation that CC4C laid and I'm grateful to the Channels DVR team for the inspiration. Full release announcement here, but the TL;DR: native HLS with a web console to manage it all and a souped up version of CC4C, basically. And runs as a service. Enjoy!
Hello. I set my Channels up years ago. Aside from adding a few (very) simple Custom Channels, I haven't had a need to tinker with it much. Now that TVE seems to be threatened, I'd to see if I can get this going.
I have no idea what I'm doing & in need of some assistance. I'm running all this on a Windows 11 Pro i5 Nuc 8.
I'm starting in GitHub with the weatherscan setup. I downloaded & ran the cc4c.exe file. I set up the (weather scan) Custom Channel, and ran the "winget install" in cmd.
I added & can see the Weather Scan channel in my guide. But when tuning to it, I'm getting "Connection to tuner lost. Press play to try again" error message. Do I have to have a chrome tab opened to the weather scan url?
Sharing this idea:
Has anyone tried adding this retro Weather Channel feed to CC4C and had any luck getting it to un-mute? The Weather Channel - RetroCast Now
