ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

Hi there,
in order to record events with channels you will need to setup an add on called Prismcast.

The software is designed to allow for capturing of live tv.
The application does use a fair amount of resources but we have a strong group of folks that enjoy the application.
I wish i had better news.

thanks

Prime is a one off, there's no channel guide for that and I don't know of a solution that can handle this easily.

With prismcast, can you watch the recording on ChannelsDVR while it's in the middle of recording and start from the beginning or do you need to wait until it's finished recording?

The source has nothing to do with whether you can watch a recording in the beginning or the middle. Channels takes care of that.

You willhave to setup all our sources and make sure the channels being used have guide data in channels.
If all goes correctly and you take the time to setup Prismcast and your channels based on your provider, it will be up and operational.
Hardware doesn't have to be purchased and the solution can probably be up and running with your desired channels in a couple of hours based on your level of experience etc.

But like I said, it can't handle Prime. Everything else is fine assuming you can get your local ABC via prism. I can't.

There are other ways to handle Prime video but they are much more complicated.

There was an issue with how the playlist was being parsed. There is a pull request ready for tony to review on github that should fix this issue.

Great! Looking forward to the fix because Prismcast has gotten flaky lately with selecting the proper Fox channel on their website.

Before I stopped the container (because Local Fox fails), this was the status of the Fox One Linear channels.
FAILED: Local Fox, Fox Live Now, Fox Soul, The Masked Singer, TMZ
WORKED: BIG10, Fox Business, Fox News, FS1, FS2, Fox Weather

Would it be possible to split FloSports into categories so that they can be enabled individually? For example, FloRacing is a category on the FloSports site with its own page and schedule, it would be great if I could enable that individually.

I just tested again after the fix and they are all working.

When will the fix be made on the branch that we can pull? Really need to get this because it's no longer working in prismcast. When I check the admin web page on my server it says version 4.15.4 is the latest.

Whenever @tonywagner has a chance to take a look at the PR, test, approve and merge it.

I'll try to get this up today.

and gotham? :grinning:

Thanks Tony!

New version 4.15.6 has the code fixes for Fox locals and Gotham. I wasn't able to test those so please chime in here with your results!

MLB Big Inning is also restored.

Gotham is working! thanks!

Glad to hear it!

I feel dumb because I tried these exact changes like a month ago, but apparently something else about my test setup causes this provider to fail for me (I am out of area, and not a subscriber). But I'm glad it works for you.

Thanks Tony!
All Fox One linear channels are working again for me, including the Local Fox station.
