Okay yeah I was able to confirm the issue - probably an issue on linear channels, but it doesn't matter if those are double added multiple times or not because of how the xmltv stuff grabs the data...

I have a fix going up now for v4.9.3.

I'm not removing the bad entries, just fixing them, so you'll have those duplicates scheduled still but you can rebuild your EPG in the UI and reload the xmltv file in Channels (you'll need to do this one either way)

#2414

Thanks man! This continues to be one of the best containers out there for channels. Y'all are awesome.

Looks like Fox playback is broken now, can't get content when trying to stream an FS1 show.

@m0ngr31, confirmed the same as above and here, opened up an issue for you with my logs and info, too:

#2418

Yeah, looks like FOX is slowly upgrading their platform or something... Changing stuff around. I need to update the integration to have parity with the app, but playback is working now with v4.9.4

Not sure if allowed to ask here BUT ill go for it

Finally dabbled into Docker Desktop only for EplusTV for now....Just to pull the Gotham Sports channels (mainly YES Network) Not sure how but i got it all set up etc ESPN works fine BUT the Gotham channels seem very very picky when trying to use my TV provider authentication. Also needed to Re-authenticate 2 days later?? Is this normal and what is the sure fire way to properly Re-Authenticate ??

#2420

Is it possible to add the Stars first round games on Victory+? They are not showing up in the guide.

#2421

Yeah looks like they are using a different seriesId for the playoffs for some reason. Something to keep an eye out for on the other teams going forward I suppose.

New version should land in a few minutes

#2422

It should be refreshing the tokens automatically. Are leaving the container running or shutting it down when not in use? Is there token errors in the logs?

#2423

Many thanks. FWIW, this is only an issue for the first round as that's all the local/regional broadcasters are allowed to show.

#2424

And it might only be 3 more games :laughing:

#2425

That's a distinct possibility the way the Stars have been playing the last 3 weeks. Not having Robo and Miro will also not make it easy to carry on the nearly annual tradition of beating the Avs in the playofs.

#2426

So I have no idea whats going on BUT it has been aok since i made this post ...... Its running on my dedicated Channels DVR PC so i leave it all running etc.....Ill see how long it goes error free BUT I must say this is Awesome I dropped YES into my guides etc and its seemless

#2427

Is there any possibility of adding MASN now that they are offering direct to consumer streaming subscriptions?

#2428

how do i make the eplustv app auto start after restarting pc/docker desktop???

#2429

Maybe i got it restarting now upon a reboot....googled it and found a script to run in the Docker terminal The whole Docker EplusTV thing is alien to me BUT when its working its so nice.
