thank you not gonna lie i love doing this :slight_smile: i can stay all night lol, figuring things out

#87

yea its bc the /tve/directv/stream is messed up its getting all the channels that are on the EPG and they are not streamable, fixing this right now. Apologies for this

#88

No worries. Believe me, I really appreciate the work you have put into this project. This will benefit a great many folks. I'm happy to be able to test and help get the bugs out. :desktop_computer::cockroach::no_entry_sign:

fixed i found that if i put isLiveStreamEnable=true I get the real streamable channels pushing the fix over this will work now http://:7070/tve/directv/playlist.m3u

#91

just making sure i am matching the epg to the channel number so it finds it in the web guide and able to play it.

#92

That made a big difference! Down to 234 channels now, no duplicates, and the program guide has fully populated. So far, I can't find any which will play...

#95

Channels are now working in the channels app, just tested on Apple iOS app, but not the server using the browser player, it is not ok time for be.d I'll continue tomorrow with Tunner management, maybe I will make the tunners as HDHOMERUN Tunners i saw a project that did that, maybe I'll integrate that. But for now, I'll call it a night. :slight_smile:

#100

Well I tried to pull it, but really didn't see one.

#101

I don't seem to be able to access the gui. I'd like to figure out if I have this container set up correctly before I get too far into testing. It's getting late and I'll have to pick this up again some time tomorrow.
