Awesome man thanks. Im back on the boat..!

If you dont mind explaining for me, I did my own journey to a bunch of places to find a link I like this one that I could hardcode. MUCH APPRECIATED! .How did you ever find that particular link?

You know what the say "teach a guy to fish". (lol)

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

volumes:

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
