I could post logs later. Is there a better logic for ESPN channels ?
Have you tested espn4cc ? Does it still work? I'm using prismcast since it works on new chrome and I'm creating a script that takes alow quality screen grab and determines how black it is and if it's 90% black or more refreshing the ESPN page for linear playback. Does espn4cc work with linear?
No ESPN streams will work in EPlusTV anymore, since they are all DRM. I just haven't gotten around to removing the providers from the list.
Just an FYI, in ESPN4cc4c, I'm able to watch ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN2.
That's great but it doesnt seem to work linear. Does yours play linear?
Not sure what you mean. In EPlus, both Espn and Espn2 were listed as linear channels. BTW, SEC Network works as well, which is also listed as a linear channel in EPlus.
As @tonywagner mentioned above ESPN linear channels in EPlus went away with DRM. The channels you mentioned as available in ESPN4CC only appear in the guide when there are live events broadcast on those channels. You will not find them as always available.

Ok, I didn't know that Sportscenter, Getup, and First Take (for examples) were considered live events.
It’s usually the first showings for the studio shows that are tagged ‘live’ but yes those will show up in the guide. Just not every showing.
There is a “live” SportsCenter on at this time.
I got it to work. football is coming on soon and I want to able to record and leave espn on.
.its a little sloppy . It reloads the ESPN stream.which resolves to the actual url , after the monitor recognizes a dead stream it reloads quickly and okays but uses old title for 3-5 minutes the title changes and the stream reloads again so suboptimal it would be nice if I could create something that grabs the proper url immediately and passes it off for a single load
to the best of my knowledge the way espn deeplinks work even for linear channels is by program - not by channel, so you can't just leave the feed on indefinitely like it is a regular channel.
My script takes this into consideration
I haven't done it successfully yet how fast does the deep link take to work? Cc4c takes about 25 seconds to be fully playable. Do deep links let you exit immediately or do you have to manually leave the app and go back to channels
Don't know. I do not use stream links directly.
For the Rangers games on BZZR in EPlusTV, CDVR seems think all the games of a series are the same game. It will record the first game of the series, but the 2nd and 3rd only record if I've deleted the previous game and have my pass set to "Re-record deleted episodes." Usually, this is not a problem since I would watch the game and delete it the same night it was played. But sometimes I'll miss a game or forget to delete it, etc.
Is there a way I can set up my pass differently that will avoid this and record all the games of a series? Here is a screenshot of my pass settings and of the matches it found, showing that it is set to record tonight's game, but will not be recording tomorrow's.
so espn just does not work at all, linear or otherwise? so why is it still in there and with no indication that its been depreciated?

I have a docker container set up with E+TV using it as a custom channel on the server. I am able to view the channels using the apps, however, I cannot record the channel or view in a web browser. This did work previously. I cannot specify the specific versions that it worked with. Just wondering if anyone else uses E+TV and what your experience is.
If you're getting that error trying to watch in the DVR web UI player, try using a non-chromium browser like Firefox or Safari.
What channels? Are you talking about espn plus channels? If so all the espn channels don’t work anymore due to drm.
Which apps? Channels dvr app or espn app?
Sorry. I am able to view in the Channels DVR Apps. I have Fox news enabled in E+TV. It is unable to record on the server as my understanding is that the server uses chromium to record.
