Add source to channels.
I should have clarified my question, but thanks for making sure I was heading in the right direction!
I didn't pick up that this part of the Github directions is part of the URL you "add" as a source to Channels.
Add source:
I've got that added properly now and it's playing channels.
Not seeing all ESPN+ channels yet though. There's like a hundred showing up but I can't find one particular live, currently playing NCAAM game (Brown vs Yale) in the guide.
I guess the next step is to set up Channels Collection?
Will research that part now.
Thanks again!
Hi all,
Having a problem with Fox Sports; ESPN+ is working fine. I'm using Docker for Windows and Portainer, and when I try to tune an FS channel I get an error message saying "not entitled" even though I went through the activation steps and received a successful message. I can watch FS through the browser and if I use CC4C, just not through EPlus. Any ideas I can try to fix this? Thanks.
Try adding -e NUM_OF_CHANNELS= with a large number to your docker command. The default is only 150 and on a busy weekend like this one that isn't enough. Right now my guide shows events up to channel 212.

Thank you! Not sure if I'm doing it properly though? This is the command I tried:
docker run --restart always -p 8000:8000 -v config_dir:/app/config m0ngr31/eplustv -e NUM_OF_CHANNELS=250
And this is what I'm seeing in Settings | Sources:
Might be working fine, I'm not sure. It's late in the day, so most games are offline now.
Instead of that try this
docker run --restart always -p 8000:8000 -v config_dir:/app/config -e NUM_OF_CHANNELS=250 m0ngr31/eplustv

I have my Syology with 2 lan ports.
I want to use lan 1 for normal traffic.
I want to use lan 2 with openvpn and push ESPNplus docker over that that lan port.
Both lans are connected and i already went through all my profiles and set values not to use default gateway.
I set lan 1 to be the default. I want to make it so that ESPNplus uses lan 2 and i would enable the vpn profile as needed.
Am i missing something?
I know that on the docker side i can set it to use host or bridge.
I'm thinking that i would set network to use eth1
Thanks
You are probably overcomplicating this but first, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you located outside the US and are trying to use openvpn so your requests come from a US based IP?
I'm using openvpn to use my expressvpn servers with MLB.
Normally when i watch mlb stuff that is blacked out, i would enable openvpn and i would start the stream.

you would need to setup a gluetun container and then route the traffic from the eplus container through the gluetun container. I can send you my portianer stacks file if you like
sounds great.
So I've tried deleting the fox_tokens.json file and restarted the container, still no go for Fox Sports. Just in case, I added my timezone to the environment variables in Portainer, again no go. Anyone have any other ideas?
Is there a Youtube video or a Docker & EPlusTV for dummies guide to follow step by step to get up and running? Thanks
What platform areyou trying to use?
I use Synology disk station and the docker set up nicely.
Bare with me, never used Docker before.
Windows. I installed Docker and have EPlusTV listed under both the containers and images category on the left side.
I started the container, in the logs it told me to activate my ESPN account in a browser which I did. It shows "Server started on Port 8000".
If I point my browser to http://IP:8000 on the same machine it shows dead (site can't be reached).
I think I am missing something somewhere about setting up the environment variables maybe???
Hi there,
By default, the docker runs on port 8000
The page usually will show a not found text.
Did you try adding the stream m3u and the EPG link to your instance?
This is normal. Create your custom source in channels and it should work for you.
I tried adding the custom channels but it error'd out. May be entering something incorrectly. Anyone have example text to add it? Gives me the following error:
