ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

[troyhough]

Any way you can add News Nation to the EPlusTV rig? If not, no biggie! Thanks

How Do I add NewsNation to My Channels DVR?

if you are ok with using docker and have a valid subscription, check out the following link.

Newsnation is viewable with TVE (the support tho on their end is just anemic)

Has anybody had trouble with Peacock authentication? I select Peacock in the web GUI, follow the activation link, let it input my code, and then it takes me to Peacock to log in. That puts me in a log in, log out loop, where I can see my account logged in, the page reloads and shows me logged out. Sometimes it happens a couple times, with no input on my part.

[nschaffner]

Yes. I tried setting it up for the first time this morning and I experienced the same thing.

It can be hit or miss. Their website is not great. Try again in a little bit

For NFL authentication make sure you are using a browser where you have already authenticated to Peacock in the NFL.com site (see ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV - #1813 by jator)
Then using that browser attempt to authenticate to Peacock in eplusTV
The Peacock authentication is very moody

[Jean0987654321]

Yeah...I used brave to authencate peacock. It's weirdly buggy that site is...

[cyberskier]

Thanks for that tip. Peacock is certainly moody — going to my NFL account and trying to link it manually gives me the exact same behavior (logging me in and out, back and forth). I’ll try again later.

[troyhough]

Ya that's the problem. Need a different way to pull it in

[joagomez]

Its the Peacock authentication with NFL itself not related to eplusTV.
I've had the same issue when authenticating the NFL app on an AppleTV.
I've had tickets in with both peacock and NFL and they are aware of the issue, but still working to resolve

I'm got this error when attempting to record Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime TV

Thoughts?

Apologies if this has been answered previously. If we have linear channels variable active, there is a separate M3U and guide data listed on the EPlus GitHub. However, the guide data says this isn't needed if using Channels DVR. What is the ideal way to set this up? Do we create one EPlus source with the channel list and guide data for the various events it pulls in, and a separate source for the linear channels? Or do we pull in one source with just the linear channels M3U? And then how do we handle the guide data?

Hope that makes sense, and thanks!

[mjitkop]

Separate sources.

This is what I have for linear channels:

Of course, use your IP address and port number in the source URL.

And the other one:

[Fofer]

Same here. And the one without XMLTV Guide Data automatically gets Gracenote data assigned via Channels.

I then set up a consolidated Channel Collection, by setting up "Automatic Channels" using this tip:

Automatic Channel Collections - INCLUDE sources

This is mostly possible in a round-about way. Under Automatic Channels: Choose sources to exclude: Select all sources except for the one you want to show up in the collection (e.g., Pluto) Enter keywords: Input a single space and press the enter key. It seems to pull in everything under that source with guide data (as I assume just about every program is going to have a single space in it). It’s a pain to maintain, especially if you add/remove sources a lot like I do, but it does work.

I exclude all other Channel Collections except the two created by EPlusTV.

[dkrach]

For those using two sources (one for linear, one for non-linear), are you getting channel logos on your non-linear channels? My guide gets populated beautifully with each channels' logos for the linear sources, but non-linear just say e+TV, wondering if I'm missing anything.

[Fofer]

No, they just get the E+ logo. Because the content is dynamically assigned and doesn’t correspond with any one specific channel’s row in the guide.

[Plasmanut]

I just added the NFL+ with Prime settings, but tonight’s game is only being shown in Channels at 30 fps. Is that typical or did I miss a setting?

[rpaulmerrell]

uunfortunately, the stuff you are seeing is typical.

[m0ngr31]

Yes, the games from NFL+ are only meant for mobile. 720p30

[Timbo303]

Sadly if anyone asks about adding the dtc chicago sports network that ain't happening

Self-explanatory it uses drm: https://d1y8yemyq4lj4z.cloudfront.net/out/v1/f68d44f8c01f4f198626643719368eaa/index.mpd
