What are the new variables?

They are now toggles in the new web portal page.

Talking about the new options for Gotham, I don't see it

There’s a toggle for GOTHAM in my screenshot, underneath NESM. If you don’t see it on your EPlus portal page then you haven’t updated OliveTin.

Once you enable that toggle and authenticate via your web browser, CDVR will see the two new channels: Yes and MSG

Incredible work @m0ngr31! Love the new web UI!!

I'm having issues getting linear FOX station into the lineup. After authenticating through the Fox Sports portal, the only channels listed are FS1, FS2, B1G Network, and FOX Soccer Plus. I'm able to watch events like the World Series on my Mac in Safari and through the Shield in the FS1 app, but tvOS and iOS FS1 apps give me an error stating local FOX station is not in my TVE package (it is, but I've had numerous authentication issues with Fox Sports over the years on tvOS/iOS, so I'm not sure this is the real issue). Is there anything that can be done so that I can watch the World Series (what's possibly left of it anyhow) in 4K through Channels?

I know it's over now but you can't watch any Fox broadcasts if you're using linear. You have to set it up without linear to get the Fox broadcasts since it's not a dedicated channel available through Fox Sports.

If it's on FS1 you're good, you'll get it with our without linear on. Sucks the Yankees blew it btw.

Thanks for the response, but I'm a bit confused, as I've seen others on this thread reporting success with their local FOX station using EPlusTV (the post just prior to mine from @troyhough had screenshots of the World Series)... Are you suggesting my setup or import of stations is incorrect? If so, how do I import FOX broadcasts into EPlusTV without enabling linear? Thanks again for any assistance you can provide.

So the linear stuff is to create a separate m3u and xmltv endpoints for dedicated linear channels (FS1, FS2, ect). It won't make your local fox affiliate a linear channel. I only grab sporting events from that channel. If you don't enable linear channels it'll just schedule events on those channels regularly with the other E+ events.

OK, so is this setup not correct then?


Appreciate your help and the work you've put into this.

Yes it should work fine

But I'm unable to receive the national FOX (non-FS1/FS2/etc) events. Sorry if I'm just completely whiffing on the where the disconnect is here... I'm sure I've likely just missed something crucial somewhere along the line, but where would an event like the World Series or a Saturday night B1G game that is broadcast via the national FOX feed be available in Channels in 4K (assuming it is available in 4K through other platforms of course)?

They should show up with the rest of whatever other providers events you have. If it can't schedule them, it might be an issue authorizing with TVE like your other apps show
