Experimental: Local Networks (NBC, ABC, FOX) in some major metros via TVE

I guess this needs reworded if the 18 stations listed as Fox O&O aren't streaming programming 24/7.
My affiliate station is available for streaming, but doesn't have programming 24/7, only primetime.

Can you submit diagnostics from the latest prerelease

Let me know if you want me to try toggling TVE from "2 locations" (assuming my endpoints are same as yesterday)

What determines the station that is used for the local networks?

Say I have a Channels node set up in New York but the HDHomerun tuners are in Los Angeles. Right now it seems that the local affiliate that is tried for ABC is KABC instead of the New York affiliate. Is there a way to have it use the affiliate for the location where the node exists? The IP address of the node geolocates to New York.

Even though looking at the Q13 site, it shows a 24/7 schedule, TVE goes by the FOX network?

I've made some big changes to the fox.com/live integration in v2021.09.17.0006

Now it will attempt to pull in FOX stations in areas where 24/7 stream is not available.

There may be a lot of bugs still. I am waiting until 8pm tonight to verify if it works.

Gave it a go - getting "TVE: platform response: 403 Forbidden"

Will be great if you can get this to work

EDIT:
Update now receiving:
Failed to start stream for ch6002: TVE: Stream Temporarily Unavailable
So will check again during hours when the stream is available

UPDATE2:
back to Forbidden during time when stream is available..

I now see guide data and a sign off in the guide. Any chance you'll be able to make the 4K games work?

Interesting...

So theoretically it will show the national programming and be "signed off" during the rest of the time?

Very nice! :+1: :clap:

Super! No problem with Fubo authentication. Waiting to see recording at 8:00 pm.

Strange that one of my two Channels DVR Servers using the Xfinity-TVE source picked up my local Fox affiliate channel, but the other server shows this error platform response: 403 Forbidden every time I try to scan it. Also toggled off/on the Experimental Local Networks via TV Everywhere setting.

I made the mistake of rescanning the channel on the server that had it auth's. Now it's giving me the same platform response: 403 Forbidden error.

I'll try rescanning the channel at 8pm when 'WWE Friday Night SmackDown' is airing

Im in Columbus Ohio. My fox should be WSYXDT3 but it's giving me WXIN in Indianapolis. All of my other local TVE channels are correct. When I try to play the Indy fox it gives me a 403 Forbidden error.

I tried rescan and I'm getting 403 forbidden on Fox TVE (Optimum) when I try to tune Big Noon Kickoff.
