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.
If you can’t record a working channel it’s because the channel doesn’t have guide data would be my guess. Can you screenshot the channel in the web ui guide?

Anyone having issues with NFL account? I noticed I wasn't able to tune NFL Network from EPlusTV and checked the logs in the container. Co-pilot scanned and gave me the following:
What appears broken
The asset ID:
[MASKED]
cannot be resolved by the NFL API. A 404 from the asset endpoint usually means one of:
NFL changed the asset identifier/API and EPLusTV is using an outdated lookup.
The NFL Network channel mapping in EPLusTV is stale.
The asset is region/entitlement specific and the asset returned for discovery no longer exists.
NFL Network authentication flow changed and EPLusTV is no longer getting the proper authorization chain even though a token exists.
It's working for me, but I always make sure to log into nfl.com every year before the season starts and make sure all my providers are linked correctly because they will disappear. Then you have to go in and get a new token with E+ and hopefully it'll work.
Also don't forget that NFL Network is available through the ESPN app now, and there's ways to get that via ADBTuner or your own way of app tuning via ah4c etc.
NFL network isn't playing for me either, but the Raiders vs Texans game is playing
