Hi Richard,
I think that your Synology setup is similar to mine. Can you offer some guidance for getting this up and running on my DS920+?
Do I need to create any folders using Synology File Station?
What changes should I make to the paths to the volumes?

volumes:
      - ./chrome-profile:/data/chrome-profile
      - ./streams:/data/streams
#46

Here is my setup. for all these add ons i keep the data files under
/volume1/ChannelsDVR/apps

  • /volume1/ChannelsDVR/apps/directv/chrome-profiles/chrome-profile:/data/chrome-profile
  • /volume1/ChannelsDVR/apps/directv/streams:/data/streams
    I used container manager to run the compse file and container started right up.
#47

I'll push when I get home

#48

Hmmm... I have been using whatever data folders are used in the Project One-Click installations.
I think that most of my apps are using subfolders of /volume1/docker
Most of my Portainer/Docker app stacks include the following:

HOST_DIR=/volume1/docker

So, for this app, I suppose I could use:

  • /volume1/docker/directv/chrome-profiles/chrome-profile:/data/chrome-profile
  • /volume1/docker/directv/streams:/data/streams

I get easily confused by container manager. So, I'm looking for the easiest way to set up this app as a stack in Portainer.

#49

I think you got the hang of it.
Your directory is more straight forward.

#50

Evidently, not. I'm just too old and feeble minded to do this myself.

I need a simple copy and paste for a Portainer stack which uses /volume1/docker as a host directory. Can any of you whiz-kids help me out with this one?

Or, I may have to wait until @bnhf adds this to Project One-click.

#51

Thanks, looking forward to it.

Does this container involve transcoding? What I've learned with brief searching around is that on a Mac, at least current ones running Apple Silicon and not the much older ones using Intel chips, Docker containers cannot use QSV for hardware-accelerated transcoding. They can use VideoToolbox acceleration natively, but only outside Docker. Just curious if that’s going to be an issue for ARM64-based Mac users who try this…

I'll test before publishing the image I have a m3 mac.

I have two TVE sources at this time:

  1. DirecTV Satellite
  2. Hulu Live TV

Eventually, I will cancel my satellite subscription and keep a streaming service. Hulu Live TV seems to be working fine but with the merger with Fubo I'm not sure if I will keep it and switch to another streaming service. Just watching what's going on.

DirecTV Stream or satellite?

I just left my house so I can't check yet.

By the way, I'm not clear on one thing... Does this give you channels that are not available with TVE in Channels DVR?

#54

This will give you the full streaming channels from DirecTV Stream. It's basically playing on Chrome in a docker and streaming the directv player over. When going to another channel it goes to the guide section looks for the channel you are trying to watch and hits watch now then captures the stream. :slight_smile:

Live TV Only http://:7070/playlist.m3u
Movies Only http://:7070/cinemaos/playlist.m3u
TV Shows Only http://:7070/tv/playlist.m3u

update pushed

#57

Alrighty then, now your talking! :smiley:

Is there a big difference between DirecTV satellite and streaming on the website? I would be very interested to try DirecTV satellite. :grimacing:

#58

Just tested CNN and it's working, no issue. Wonder if it's the ffmpeg I have it set to 8-bit and very high settings because I was seeing many buffering issues in different channels. Will a Gui be good so you can set different settings depending on your system and network

#59

Idk there might not be it's probably the same site. :slight_smile:

#60

I also had it looking at all the movies and tv shows on directv was working but there was a lag when the movie would start vs the capture stream so I removed it.

#61

One thing might be that stream channels vs non-stream channels meaning channels you can only watch on the device but test it out

#62

I'm thinking of redoing channel mapping right now hardcoded. Thinking of getting the epg 1st then mapping the channels automatically
