ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

[Njjavier]

Thank you

[Rice]

@m0ngr31 was the fox 4k ever fixed?

[m0ngr31]

Depends on the event, but yes. Some of them are now using chunked mp4 files instead of regular ts segments and I'm not sure that Channels supports that yet

[Rice]

Is anyone getting 4k on the current St. John’s vs Butler game on espn+ FS1 ? It is in 4K on the TVE FS1. I’m only getting the 720. In the short time I’ve had the container going I’ve never seen it have a 4K feed.

[nschaffner]

Yes. 4K on both feeds.

I'm seeing 1080/60p for TVE and getting a Could not parse chunklist properly! error with the container.
EDIT: it was 1080/60p during the ads. It's 4k/30p during play.

[Rice]

Thank you, with that info I have relaunched the container adding max resolution uhd/hdr and 4k hdr is now working

The container documentation states default is uhd /sdr but I don’t think it is

If not set, UHD/SDR is the default.

@maddox

Out of the box, the channels have information for the airing sporting events and art for the airings.

Having a weird issue. I did a test recording for a 4k HDR game today but I have no episode art. Everything else works perfect. Any idea if I am doing something wrong? There isn't too much besides the standard stuff in the Custom channel setup

[Rice]

Same for me as well. Also they don’t get thrown in with the other recorded basketball games

[red_diva]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I've got the channels coming in, but I can't get the guide data to populate. When I go into docker and look at the log, I can see the channels that have been created and the names/programs, but nothing ever populates in the channels guide; It just has generic 1hr blocks. I've attached some screen shots, any help would be appreciated.

[Rice]

Remove environment start_channel 300 and tell channels to ignore channel numbers from m3u and your guide will magically work.

[jxxaxxy]

I don't know if this has changed but I think you need ESPN_USER and ESPN_PASS for environmental so you can login.

They do state to look at your log file for the next information you need to do.

[Mulliganman]

Anyone else having playback issue of the Fox Super Bowl Pregame stream on E+? I can't get the stream to play

[alai]

Same here

[slampman]

yeah same thing here,, exact same message

[Mulliganman]

Here's something else I notice. When I delete the tokens and whatnot, restart the container, i'm not being prompted to reauthorize but it's acting like I have....

The Fox Sports app itself logged in with the same information, plays just fine

[Frank_Monroe]

I wonder if Fox made changes to support game related programming today. Remember, these shows are free to watch without a provider today.

[Mulliganman]

Yeah it'd be about right for them to screw around with this stuff the day of the game. I was hoping to be able to record it in 4K today.

[Frank_Monroe]

In addition, it looks like the login and logout of provider options have dissappeared from both the Fox and Fox sports apps.

[Edwin_Perez]

That is by design they are diabling logins to provide free access to anybody.
