ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

Did you go to ESPN and login with that activation code?

Yes and the page refreshed saying that the device is activated.

Try to find the file folder espn_plus_tokens.json and delete it. Recreate the container. Follow the logs to reauthorize and get a new token.

I've seen this happen before when using a VPN

You're right, the computer running this container is on a VPN but I thought that might be necessary to avoid ESPN+ blackout regional issues. I'll set this up on a different machine if not the case!

Yeah ESPN+ doesn't really play nice with VPNs, so I'd try it on a different box if you're able to

yep! That solved all the issues, thanks a ton.

Most importantly, thank you for the amazing work!

Not entirely sure if this should be posted here or a new thread all-together. The problem I've encountered is that when piped into plex via threadfin, stream is dropped when a commercial starts. No issue when played via channels or with vlc via channels.m3u. Appreciate any guidance. Thanks again!

This is most likely caused by the #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY-SEQUENCE tag in the m3u8 file that'll happen on commercial breaks

Plex is pretty suboptimal. Either use channels or nextpvr

Any updates on whether we'll get 4K college football? Or is that something that Fox broke with the API?

Seconded! Looks like chrome capture on HDMI capture may be only way

I just looked at this, and funnily enough it's using DRM

I'm not seeing any upcoming ones on the schedule: https://support.fubo.tv/hc/en-us/articles/360011483011-What-events-in-4K-HDR-are-coming-up-on-Fubo

DirectTv confirms the next college football 4K game is not until October 12th

Inaccurate. 4k on direct tv stream tomorrow

I know a few people get angry about me making requests, but could you write a script to add CBS (not gps) . I know it's already on channels but so is ESPN/fox/abc. It would be nice to have all sports possible not drm'd yet. Maybe just have it play sporting events only? Just a request

I actually looked at this recently. It'd be worth it because there are things it has that aren't on Paramount+, but there was one issue when I was trying to reverse engineer it. I'll keep at it when I get a minute

I'm guessing those are dedicated 4K channels from directtv and not FOX right?

Thats awesome, would it also be possible to create some sort of api or whatever to make guide data for Prime Amazon thursday night football/peacock/netflix tv that I can feed into chrome capture and people with hdmi recording.

They originate from the FOX Sports 4K feeds. DIRECTV doesn't have dedicated channels for each network like FiOS, Fubo and some others have, instead they just schedule the 4K events from FOX Sports, NBC Sports, ESPN, NESN and others on channels 105-108
