I'm not familiar with Docker but managed to install it, pull the jonmaddox container, run it and see in the container log that the playlist.m3u and epg.xml file were successfully created. When I add the source to the dvr I get the error in the subject line. I'm running Docker Desktop for Windows. Not sure what to do at this point. I've sent my dvr logs ahead. Thanks in advance.
If you put the path to the .m3u file in a browser, does it load successfully?
No, it does not load.
Ok so that means the docker is not working properly or you aren’t using the correct URL. Can you share the two URLs you are using? You can omit the IP addresses if you want.

I’ve decided to pass on the m3u playlists at this time.
The thing I love about Channels is that it all works reliably and the excellent support. I understand m3u playlists is in beta. I’ll wait until it’s further along.
Thank you for all you do in support of this great product.
You have to put in a proper URL to the playlist.m3u which has confirmed to be working in the browser.
Looks like you used this:
When you probably meant to use this:
This was bugging me so I took one more run at it and got it to work.
After several tries I figured it was a firewall issue but adding the app to the Windows firewall manually wasn’t working. So I manually ran the Docker pull and run commands (that I found in another post) using Windows Powershell. That launched a warning about the firewall blocking Docker but gave the option to add it. That worked. Then I just added the source to Channels as documented.
Thanks.
