Directv Stream & NFL Network/ RedZone

[chDVRuser]

No way for Channels DVR TVE to authenticate (with DIRECTV STREAM) and stream it yet.

@chDVRuser

NFL isn't listing DirecTV Stream as a provider yet Watch NFL Network

If and when the NFL Network adds DIRECTV STREAM as a TVE provider at their website, just follow the directions below to add it. Could be that DIRECTV STREAM hasn't negotiated TVE access for the NFL Network, or they did and it will just take awhile for it to appear on the NFL Network website. You could contact Directv Stream and ask them.

@chDVRuser

If DirecTV Stream allows TVE access to the NFL Network and you can login and stream at the NFL Network site with your DirecTV Stream credentials (provider should appear as DIRECTV STREAM), then rescan the NFL channel in Channels DVR and it should work.

I have the NFL Network in my Xfinity cable subscription, but they don't offer TVE access to it, so Xfinity doesn't appear as a provider to select at the NFL site. So I can't get NFL with Channels DVR TVE.

Appears they just added Xfinity as a provider at the NFL Network website, so I should be able to add it to Channels DVR now.

Works for other providers that can be authenticated at their website.

Try now at their website

I was able to login in their site, but when I tried to rescan and add it to channels, I got this weird error message-

Getting the same thing using Xfinity.

Xfinity and NFL Network

Now that the NFL Network has added Xfinity as a TVE Provider, is anyone able to get it working in Channels DVR? Although it's in my subscribed package with Xfinity and I can watch it using my HDHR Prime and at the NFL Network website, it fails when I rescan the channel in Channels DVR.

Nothing we can do until the developers look into it.
Best advice is to submit diagnostics from the DVR web UI and report it.
The more users reporting the same issue, the more likely they are to fix it.

Try updating to the latest DVR pre-release and rescan the NFL channel.
Don't know if they snuck a fix in the pre-release or something changed at the NFL Network site, but I was just able to scan and add the NFL Network on two DVR servers w/Xfinity TVE.

Xfinity and NFL Network

Running v2023.07.23.2124 Rescanned the channel again and this time it authed and works. Able to view/record in Channels DVR now.

[kingpinjimi12345]

Working now

[kingpinjimi12345]

unfortunately it has stopped working again. now gettin "No login form found"

[shapiros]

Also getting the "No Login Form Found" error

[chDVRuser]

Must be Directv Stream auth servers.
Just reauthed channel 6192 and it's playing for me using Xfinity.

[kingpinjimi12345]

I’ll try it again when I get home.

I officially moved my server to Ubuntu yesterday and have a few other kinks to work out so it may be related to that as well.

[kingpinjimi12345]

Still not working
Im fairly certain its because when CDVR tries to authenticate, NFL Network is redirecting first to the directv sign in page and awaiting a password.

EDIT- see next post. Issue is cookies not password

[kingpinjimi12345]

I have figured out what the issue is but don't know how to correct it. The login page is sitting there waiting for CDVR to "accept cookies".

Try the Update Paswsword trick, step 9 here TVE Troubleshooting tips
Then rescan the NFL channel

[kingpinjimi12345]

Ok well now a new problem
I recently moved my server to Ubuntu and use teamviewer to manage it as it is in my network rack. I was following the TVE troubleshooting tips and just rebooted the server.

Now, of course, this is the first time I have tried teamviewer from outside of the home since the move and I can't login to it Obviously the server is up and running because I can stream from it just fine with my iphone. How can I discover what the address of the server is to get into setting and rescan the channels? If I can't it's fine I will do it when I get home. I'm sure teamviwer is sitting there waiting for someone to allow RDP..... Grrrrr

[krazijoe]

can you access it here?

Channels Community

[chDVRuser]

Only if your DVR Remote Access is enabled and working properly.

[kingpinjimi12345]

It is. But I’m home now.

Still no NFL network. But I’m sure it will get figured out soon enough

[kingpinjimi12345]

Yes
