Can confirm, Fox local working great again!

#3505

What is the best way to set this up with Channels if only using Fox and B1G+. I want to have the Fox linear channels but also the B1G+ events which aren't linear??

#3506

I assume you'll just have to set up two sources in Channels, one using the EPlusTV linear M3U and the other using the non-linear M3U.

#3507

EIther 2 or 3 sources. If you don't care about TMZ, Masked Singer, LiveNow or other Fox stations that don't have gracenote data then it is 2 sources otherwise it would be 3.

#3508

Gotcha. Thanks guys!

#3509

Should these be set up as MPEG-TS or HLS?

#3510

Set it up as an HLS

Container crashes sometimes. Just copied logs from this one. They are at this link since too big to paste.

Hello,

I recently had my eplus tv channels working but recently nothing loads. On my apple tv I get the ! with the triangle and on the browser I get the following error: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this?

First thing to try is restarting the EPlusTV container. If that doesn’t help, then click the “Rebuild EPG” button in the EPlusTV web interface and re-sync your EPlusTV source in Channels DVR. If it still doesn’t work, then share your EPlusTV container log here.

ESPN hasn’t been supported in EPlusTv for awhile now, since they added DRM. FruitDeepLinks or PrismCast are the recommended alternatives.

what about Gotham Sports?

Fox local is also broken as of yesterday.

#3522

Fox local is working fine here. Just tested.

#3523

Weird, it definitely doesn't work here here's the error in the logs. Same thing we've seen before.

2026/05/07 07:36:52.812710 [ERR] Could not start stream for M3U-Fox ch8210 FOX: M3U: Could not fetch playlist from localhost:8000: GET: http://localhost:8000/channels/8210.m3u8: 404 Not Found

The only error in the container log is 'could not get a playlist for channel.'

#3524

Did you check the container logs?
