Does anyone know if all of Prime's sports are included in this docker or just the NFL ones. NBA/MLB as well? I plan on making a script to get those channels into Chrome capture / hopefully get support for hdmi4c.

Is the Picture Quality any different for the NFL games between:

  • Paramount + essential vs. Paramount + Premium
  • NFL+ Premium vs. NFL Sunday Ticket
    ?

thx

They should all be 1080i essentially the same source/quality as OTA antenna. NFL sunday ticket cbs at least. <9mbit average bitrate or thereabouts

With regard to codecs. I think ATSC3 has the best quality iirc, but its roughly the same as online, perhaps a bit better from what I have read, and ATSC1 has decent as well. YoutubeTV is notorious for being one of the worst codecs with their proprietary VP9 codec.

Fox broadcasts in 720p so that should be the same. CBS games will likely be 1080p as no one streams interlaced.

As far as I am aware, its a faux progressive, software done, so definitely not true 1080p. But close enough I guess.

It is only NFL. It works by logging into Prime through NFL.com.

Are the MLB or NBA games supported in this docker?

MLB from MLB.tv is supported and for NBA games it is network dependent. Whatever networks are on the config webpage would have the ability to stream NBA games that air on said network.

NBA has their own league pass, afaik they dont split games like nfl sunday ticket. MLB.tv only gives one free game a day so HBOMax/Prime/Peacock & Maybe Netflix may be best for this - I am working on it. Going to release code to github soon and record a video if it in action.

For the NFL provider in EPlusTV, I understand the resolution is limited to 720p.

I am not sure about the Paramount provider.

Does it make any difference if it's from NFL+ Premium or NFL Sunday Ticket? or are they both 720p?

No difference. Everything through the NFL provider in EPlusTV is 720p.

Confirm it's 720p. Quality is OK, not great on large screen TVs.

FWIW, NFL Network and NFL Channel are 1080, but only 30 FPS through EPlusTV using nfl.com integration.

is the Sunday ticket also 30 fps? I don't want to bug the person that has it for TVE and explain I would not be using a login/location lol

As I understand, the only way for EPlusTV to pull live games via NFL is to get them in 720p (and apparently at 30 fps). It is probably pulling NFL Network the same way. Perhaps a different method could pull NFL Network at 1080p but live games would still be 720p30 regardless. I can investigate if anyone want to loan credentials.

Through the EPlusTV NFL provider, all games are 720p 30 fps, regardless of how you authenticate (NFL+, link Amazon, link Sunday Ticket, etc.).

I have 4.10.4 and have gone through all the steps I've seen on here several times. I've reauthenticated countless times but still see this in the logs for espn+ channels. Other networks and linear channels work fine.

In this case I have my channels starting on channel 551 and am using the channels as stated

Any thoughts would be welcome.
