Classic arts showcase

The classic arts showcase channel has stopped working.

I am not sure, but I think it might be part of "local networks via tv everywhere".

I hope it works again. It's one of our favorite channels.

I don't watch this channel myself, but trying from here (channel 6772) and see in logs:

2021/03/01 14:18:36.267004 [ERR] Failed to start stream for ch6772: TVE: get https://classicarts.global.ssl.fastly.net/live/cas/master.m3u8: 500 Domain Not Found

2021/03/01 14:18:36.326501 [HLS] Stopping transcoder session ch6772-dANY-ip192.168.2.5

And noticed on their website that they have been making changes to their network (going digital, etc), but seem to indicate it should still be available.

I'd bet a slight change is needed by Channels developers to get this channel working again.

Fixed in next prerelease build.

Classic arts showcase works again. Thanks so much! Relaxing to have in the background once and awhile.

Did it stop working again? I can't get this channel to load anymore.

Same here. CAS, channel 6772. Says "Stream Not Available."

I can get it on the website, I guess something changed on the back end. I hope it can be restored to the lineup.

Looks like it's fixed again

It is broken now. When I try to access this channel, I get error: "Could not fetch playlist:...."

This url https://classicarts.akamaized.net/hls/live/1024257/CAS/master.m3u8 works in VLC
This comes from their streaming website Watch Classic Arts Showcase - Classic Arts Showcase

Channels DVR v2022.08.28.0324 is using that same url and working for me.
Either it was updated in a recent pre-release, or the website feed had issues when you accessed it.

Thanks. Just upgraded to the most recent stable release and Classics arts showcase works again!

Thanks! Like to "view" this while working or bored with the usual 10^6 crappy channels that are live.
