Please. It seems all the Indian channels are gone.

#33

Try to refresh the playlist now, and see if they are working,
I changed the script, not sure though if they will expire or not, still testing.

Thank you so much. It's working now but now it's missing two of the very popular indian channels below:

  • Shemaroo Filmigaane
  • Shemaroo Bollywood

Can you please add these two channels.

For the VLC-Bridge Docker, I've created a workaround in Playlist Manager (a Streaming Library Manager extension) that fixes most of the trouble stations:

Please make sure you have at least v2026.02.02.1350!

There are definitely a few that this didn't work on, namely:

  • SKWAD
  • Cooking Panda
  • AfroLandTV
  • Western Bound
  • Pitufo TV
  • Toon Goggles en Español
  • Zee BollyWorld
  • TidPix-Authentically African
  • Chicas Guapas TV

All of these use a technology (stitch together AVOD segments) that is not compatible with VLC, Channels DVR, or about anything outside of the Distro Web Player. I'll have to see if something can be done, but I'm not hopeful. Otherwise, overall the PLM solution should work as a placeholder to restore functionality until such a time as @miibeez can review it or I can spend some time rebuilding from scratch to address certain core component bugs.

Basically, in the current solution, for the other streams that don't work, it's grabbing m3u8 links that frequently expire instead of a more active/recent one. What PLM is doing here is sidestepping that entirely and creating its own unique feed at the exact moment of time when the user starts watching, similar to what it can do for a YouTube or Twitch Live Stream. As such, it is a noticeable amount slower to start up those stations, but once going, there are no issues. I ran one of them for an hour and half and had no problems!

DVR Bob a service ticket had been lodged with the web host hopefully, the issue will be fixed soon, a few recently added m3u are not acessible at the moment.
