Discovery Channels Not Working

All of the Discovery Channels are showing Context Canceled. I have Spectrum. I removed it as a provider and readded. This did not fix the problem. I read in some of the older posts that the Science Channel is used for authentication. My package does not include the science channel. Could this be the problem?

They are all working and playing fine in XFINITY.... Are you on the latest prerelease.?

My Spectrum Discovery Networks are working and rescanning properly.

Yes on the latest Pre-release.

In the server web ui update your spectrum password with the same password. This clears the chrome data folder.

In chrome incognito tab can you log in and watch at https://go.discovery.com/live-now
If you can stream from the discovery site try rescanning those channels in the dvr server while it’s playing in another tab

No difference. I can watch from the web browser but when I rescan the channels it still reports context canceled. This is from the log file:

What server are you using ... We had a problem in UBUNTU ... but we came up with a workaround.. ?

Windows

I uninstalled both Chrome and Channels and reinstalled them. I am on version 2022.10.03.2116 of Channels as this is the version I had. All of the Channels came back. I will now update to the latest version.

Latest updates: At around 2pm PT today it appears they switched back to the old CDN that does not have a separate audio feed. Recording should be better as long as they are on it.

Additionally, we are working on a new rewriter for TVE feeds that may provide better experiences with Discovery feeds (and potentially others).

PLEASE NOTE: Enabling this new feature may improve your experience, but if there is a bug, it could render TVE recordings made while it was enabled un-watchable. We've done testing as the feature has been developed and don't expect any issues, but this is brand new code, so it could have problems.

If you want to know more about the new rewriter, please check out this thread:

What isn't working? If you're referring to authenticating, these changes will not impact that.

It just hangs on a black screen. It authenticates just fine.

Please submit diagnostics from the app after experiencing this.

Where do I go?

Please go to Settings -> Support -> Submit Diagnostic Logs from your device and let us know when it's been submitted so we can check it out.

It is showing auth failed but it works for me just fine.
