What is that interface? Looks slick.

This is Streaming Library Manager for Channels, specifically the Playlist Manager extension. I'm showing the Assigned Stations page and the results of the Check Station Status function. Similarly, I could have also uses the Media Tools Manager extension to run a Report like this:

sorry, i only touch this stuff a few time a year and i dont remember how to get this setup in synology container manager.

is there still the web ui to change the environment variables?

This is how I initially set up EPlusTv in Container Manager. You probably need to go to tonywagner's GitHub page. On your Synology, you will have to create the required folders if you haven’t already. Please read the GitHub instructions. Once you got it installed, use the web interface (your ip: port number) then you can authenticate.

got it.

having a lot of listings in the guide that show that there is something on an eplus channel, but then when i try to play it i get 503. the eplus logs show "could not get a playlist for channel... please make sure there is an event schedules and you have access to it"

I had just reauthed, redownloaded the m3u and xmltv in channels

If i remember correctly, i can go into the file location for the container and trash the entries.db or schedule.db?

I would stop your container first then delete those files. Start the container and check your logs to see if it’s finding any events. You could also go to your source in Channels and redownload m3u and redownload the xmltv file.

Would anyone know if video streams from livebarn.com could be extracted with EPlusTV and fed into Channels? For those that don't know, Livebarn is a site that streams youth hockey games from hundreds of rinks around the country.

Question: Has ESPN+ been cracking down on password sharing in earnest or is it just an empty threat for now?

Yeah...I'm not gonna answer that. I'm not too sure its a good idea to talk about that here....

Doug,
From my perspective, when I travel I authenticate from home before leaving, especially on my phone. Just about every time I try to watch while traveling, without prior authentication, it requires me to change password to watch. This has been going on for well over a year. I don’t share my 'My Disney' password with anyone. The ESPN+ subscription is one of the best values in the streaming sports world.

Isnt there a command that does the pull like git pull?

It's at the bottom of the GitHub page

docker pull tonywagner/eplustv

Any chance of getting the Fox network sports working? For example the Fox football game tonight is not in the guide, and I'm not sure if the big Texas OSU game tomorrow will be there. These big noon Sat. games were often 4k too.

These used to all show up with the old container when it worked before, but I know things have changed with fox one. So far I haven't seen any Fox events (FS1/2 are fine, I can see and record those). You can stream them live at fox.com with user creds.

Nice attention to detail here. Isn the AU game in 4k tonight as well?

If anyone can pickup where m0ngr3l started. There are 2 peacock games this week. This will be the third college game of the season. I can handle the chrome capture script to find the game, I just need to be able to pull guide data (I think it is available 24-36 hours before airing) kind of like how you did MWN, the formate is similar to MWN too, but DRM so will need chrome capture/hdmi method

Can anyone confirm if the game tonight is 4K in the Fox Sports site/app? I only see 720p, HDR, and SDR in the data.
