Fox Sports only does select events in 4K so far. They've had all of the World Cup matches this year and I think they do some college football too.

So, I would assume that the "network" feed for FOX of tomorrow's world cup match, for example, should "pick" the 4K feed? Any way to confirm this ahead of time? (or better yet, put it on a different guide line item?)

Unlike the ESPN feeds, I can't force the Fox streams to pick a certain bitrate. However it has always picked the best quality stream for me so far (based on the environment variable), so I'd say chances are likely that you will get a 4K stream.

This really is a fantastic development - the ability to get a 4K stream onto the DVR has been a wish of mine, basically since i got a 4K TV. Fantastic stuff - I'll even watch (cough) knee-grabbing sissy soccer, to try it out!

I caught the last couple of minutes of the World Cup postgame show. Worked like a charm in 4K.

I can't seem to get any streams to work. This is a portion of the log:
=== Done building the schedule ===
=== Starting Server ===

There is an active event. Going to start the stream.
Channel has upcoming event. Setting timer to start

And this is my run command:
docker run --restart unless-stopped --name EPlusTV -p 8000:8000 -v config_dir:/app/config -e START_CHANNEL='7000' -e ESPN=TRUE -e ESPN2=TRUE -e ESPN3=TRUE -e ESPNU=TURE -e SEC=TRUE -e SECPLUS=TRUE -e ESPNPLUS=FALSE -e FOXSPORTS=TRUE -e FOXSPORTS_MAX_RESOLUTION=UHD/HDR m0ngr31/eplustv
This is in docker on a 2014 Mac Mini if that makes a difference. The channel guide loads just fine, it just doesn't start any streams. On Beta 9.
I see the issue 
. Apparently I'm not checking to see if someone isn't using ESPN+ and it looks like it's trying to read those credentials for that API call. I'll see if I can fix it shortly

There are times of the year when I'll subscribe to ESPN+, but now is not one of them. The nice thing about these new options is that I can keep the container running year round now and not need to delete and readd the source to Channels. Thanks for this.

Would gladly provide credentials/account for Bally Sports integration.
Please send me a message if this is still needed.

I have Bally's access thru Spectrum, not Bally's+. But, would be happy to provide those credentials, if it helps.

What type of audio are you getting from Fox Sports? Fox claims to support Dolby 5.1 when watching 4k content through their apps. But I have yet to see it:

Just had to pull this up via EPlusTV after seeing your post. It is beautiful, my snapshot doesn't do it justice. My first streamed 4K sporting event. Look at those stats. Too bad the audio isn't in Dolby 5.1.

Anyone who’s successfully running the ESPN+ Docker on an Intel Mac, could you please share your Docker run command as I’m using my MacBook Pro with Docker desktop but I can’t get past “This event will start soon”. The logs show an error trying to parse the stream. I used “docker run -p 8000:8000 -v config_dir:/app/config m0ngr31/eplustv” to set it up. Would greatly appreciate it! 
So tonight I noticed that I’m only getting the "Event About to Start" Screen on SEC+ games. Checked ESPN app and was attempting a live game. The ESPN+ games are coming in fine. Channels status is showing that it is playing .
Downloaded and launched the latest version after deleting the tokens file. I authenticated DTVStream then ESPN+. Same results as above. I see an error 403 and says could not authorize event. The only different thing was that it asked for TV Provider authentication before the ESPN+ authentication-it's been the reverse all times before.
Synology NAS on ver 6.something
Used docker wizard to launch
Any ideas?

Bally+? DM me
I'm 99% sure NBC Sports will have all the soccer Peacock does, but when I work on it I'll verify...
I'll add the MLS stuff from Apple as something to investigate. Would be a nice add I think, but I'd need an account.
Vix might be interesting if I can't decipher anything from their site 
I just realized that I can do provider login with Bally as well. I guess I'll have to try both ways
I'll look at the manifest and see about getting the 5.1 audio!
Can you DM me your logs?
Can you play SEC+ games on the website? When you check the logs, does it show errors or does it say that the channel is playing?
