Playground Custom Channels
#22

I think this helped me as well. I didnt notice yesterday, util @Waffles pointed it out, that I was also seeing lots of errors too in the web UI. I can confirm after redeploying the portainer stack with new pull, it has ZERO errors now. Very nice.

Also, just in case someone else runs into this issue deploying the stack,
I had to make a slight change to the YML to get it running on my apple silicon Mac mini.
note the addition of the platform line in the YML.

services:
  distrotv-proxy:
    image: ghcr.io/kineticman/distrotv-proxy:latest
    platform: linux/amd64
    container_name: distrotv-proxy
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8787:8787"
    volumes:
      - distrotv-data:/data

I actually went to their website and they had a list of "FAST" services that serves it up. I noticed FreeLiveSports had it and someone on these forums actually pulled their M3U at one point. so kinda got lucky. There is an XML available for the channel but will take a little work to set that up. I'll probably add to FruitDeepLinks as a service if anyone ever interested.

Looking good so far! Just a heads up that a lot of stations like "Wine, Watches, & Whiskey" that play fine in Channels and survive all PLM tests will not play in VLC directly (works when parsed through Channels). As such, someone who is trying to do a replacement for the "VLC Bridge" portion may be unable to use this solution.

Thanks for the container.
Nice that you can enable/disable each channel in the playlist before it gets to CDVR.
Now to find time to surf the 304 channels to find the good ones :laughing:

If anyone else runs across these errors in the log

The easiest fix is to use the compose statement

Did you check the VLC log to see why they fail to play?
I see a 302 to cloudfront which returns a 404

Having issues installing. I've tried both portainer stack listed above by @chDVRuser as well as the command line entry. Both show success, but when I go to the page admin page (http://[localipaddress]:8787, I just get this:

{
  "detail": "Not Found"
}

I see comments about individual channels returning 404, but this is the actual admin page?

#28

You need to add /admin so it would be
http://[localipaddress]:8787/admin

#29

I have lost all of the Indian channels on Distro. Any update for the M3U.

#30

Im aware of some issues with my m3u , mostly a filtering issues to do with the finaly m3u not exluding some duplicates

I will try and fix it

Thank you. Appreciated!!

@KineticMan
Curious if you're getting the same feeds that @Apsattv does.

I see the duplicates he's talking about in his m3u, but you have some channels he doesn't and he has some channels you don't. A quick look at both...

Apsattv has, you don't
Outdoor Channel
Shemaroo Bollywood
Shemaroo Filmigaane
Smurf TV
WFN: World Fishing Network

you have, Apsattv doesn't

@KineticMan
Could you add the tag channel-id to the playlist.m3u Channels Support - Add Custom Channels with M3U Playlists

It currently looks like this

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="15976" tvg-logo="https://a.jsrdn.com/hls/22765/outside-tv/logo_20231219_220634_59.png" group-title="DistroTV",Outside

Pretty sure this would work

#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="15976" tvg-id="15976" tvg-logo="https://a.jsrdn.com/hls/22765/outside-tv/logo_20231219_220634_59.png" group-title="DistroTV",Outside

I have my source set to allow CDVR to assign the channel numbers and the channel numbers are changing almost every day. I think it's because CDVR looks for the channel-id and remembers which channel it assigned to it.

fyi I probably will depreciate this little scraper. I recommend moving to FastChannels.
