ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

Looks dead. I see complaints on the developer's Github page, but no responses from the developer in months. I think it is lucky that it still scrapes guide data and at least makes it easy to see what is on/scheduled. I hope he works it out.

Hi all, I believe I found the cause of this issue which has to do with the Log In button selector when trying to run the streams. I'm new to using this, so I can't speak to how it worked before, but it's entirely likely that the page layout changed over time. I've added a pull request to the main repository here https://github.com/m0ngr31/EPlusTV/pull/24.

This must have been the solution. @m0ngr31 posted an update and it's working well for me. Thanks, guys!

Awesome work finding the login issue. I pulled the latest image and it is working great.

Thanks for digging in and keeping this awesome project going.

Thanks!

Forgive my naivete. I have an existing instance running on Docker. How do I "pull the latest image?"

I can get the streams to work installing with the synology docker application but I can't get it to show the guide data in channels. When I try to add the volumes the thing crashes. I know how to do it through SSH but I'm not home and won't be any time soon so I have to go through quickconnect.

Could someone who has it working with guide data saved on their system please take a screenshot of their volume tab so I can copy it?

Forget all of this. All I did was type the EPG URL incorrectly.

HAHA I was wondering that.

I've only played with docker a little bit, so there may be a better way to update to the latest, but I've just deleted the existing image and container and re-ran the docker run. It seems to download the latest by default unless you specify a specific version.

I am getting an error, "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?." Does anyone have some insight into this?

What OS are you running? If its linux make sure the service is turned on

sudo systemctl start docker

and then enable it to run at login

sudo systemctl enable docker

MacOS on Apple Silicon

Your "Docker Desktop for macOS" is not installed or not running.

It doesn’t work on macOS apple silicon. Wish it did.

I did have this working a while ago. But I can't seem to get it to work. I believe it has to do with the recent changes in synology 7.1 and the /tmp folder access. Trying to figure out how to get around it. Or I am really missing something obvious. It can't create the folders in it. It tells me that it is a permissions issue.

I ran into permission problems on Synology when I was first learning about docker.
On your Synology, use the /volume1/docker directory instead of /tmp
Like /volume1/docker/eplustv

-v /volume1/docker/eplustv:/app/config

Make sure to first create the directory eplustv in /volume1/docker

I missed that. Duh. You are correct.

I know I created a folder in the docker folder for it. I will try to give it a whirl again tonight. Then I will post the error I get.

Getting an Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/app/config/state.json'

Its like it isn't allowing it to write files to that folder.
