#2347

That 404 error was in my channels log. The log in Portainer has a whole bunch of code. See below. I do not have any environment variables set.

Okay, one more thing to try:

We're going to try bypassing Channels for playback and just try the feed straight from E+:

Install this extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/native-mpeg-dash-+-hls-pl/cjfbmleiaobegagekpmlhmaadepdeedn

And then open the /linear-channels.m3u link from the UI and hit play next to SNY

#2350

I've heard the MLB.tv site has had issues all day. IDK if that maybe the issue here.

#2351

nope

working fine on the mlb app and on mlbserver

#2352

I'm guessing same logs in E+. For yours I think it's a scheduling issue - whatever is scheduled is off or something. Dumb question I know but have you restarted your container since enabling SNY?

#2353

yes, restarted multiple times. should I have tz as a variable? I just might recreate the whole container when I get a chance. thanks

#2354

Nah, I was just curious about the TZ variable messing with the time zone, but it was a shot in the dark. Is is possible to dm me your config folder? That way I can see what your scheduled entries look like

#2356
#2357

Seeing this in my eplus container logs, with same issue seen on SNY in market - does this help at all?

No luck yet, updated to v4.8.7 and tried again.

This is bizarre to me

For each linear channel (in this case SNY or SNLA), it should provide an in-market and out of market stream. In the newest version, I'm checking both and just return whichever works. But in your case, neither is working... Which is surprising to me to say the least. I'm assuming you're able to view the stream in your browser right?

#2363

Yep, same error in my log. It plays in the web browser from MLB.tv and selecting SNY from the Watch drop down

Channel #442 has an active event (Mets Baseball 2025). Going to start the stream.

Could not find stream for SNY_LIVE!

Failed to parse the stream

Could not get a playlist for channel #442. Please make sure there is an event scheduled and you have access to it.
#2364

@tonywagner Do you support SNY/SNLA on mlbserver? Wondering if I'm missing something here. Especially since it works fine for me

#2365

Do you know how to capture a HAR file in the browser?

#2366

I DM'd you a link to the HAR file I tried recording.

#2367

These 2 channels are supposed to only work in-market and play the specific channel 24/7. Why would they have an out of market stream?

When selecting the channel in the app or on the website there is only one feed.
