Working for me on my ipad.
As others have mentioned getting response code 503 on apple TV.
NBC APP is installed on apple tv and live streams verified working.
Edit: working in TVOS for me

this is a great feature and i know its in its infancy but this should be fully developed in the GUI to be marketed as a differentiator between other similar software just like streamlinks are. just my two cents.
Without being able to get ahold of the tvOS ipa file it's all just a guess. You can get the iOS ipa by using Apple Configurator and examine the contents. That's how I found that it supported the url schemes youtubetv and vnd.youtube.tv which both work on iOS. It's possible that the tvOS version is a separate app or just doesn't support the same (or maybe any) url schemes. Given that it doesn't integrate with the TV app it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't bother to support them on tvOS.

Similarly I would love to see a small visual notation on these channels in the guide, because after the first launch, I’m not seeing an alert confirmation anymore, selecting a live show just immediately launches the NBC app. It’s a bit jarring if you’re not expecting it as you’re jumping around from live show to live show. So it would great to see a visual indicator separating these types of channels from ones that play directly and normally within Channels DVR.

You need the beta apk or TestFlight ipa, as the feature was only added yesterday.

Success!
After updating the Beta app on my server, my iPhone, and my FireTV, I am now able to go directly from Channels to the NBC Streaming App. It's a little clunky on their end with the buffering, but this is about as seamless as I could expect.
Sadly, it doesn't enable live recording or any other DVR functions (like pause and rewind), which seem almost out-of-reach for these channels at the moment.
Thanks!

Well I got hulu to open up. I don't know if there is a better way than what I did below. I went to the website and got the address from it and put this in. You still have to click on the profile when it first launches. Let me know if this is just the wrong way to do this.

Update. This seems to play just the single episode. Once it switches it then points me to on demand with same episode I think. So no go on this.

Ive got things working. I especially like the new icon change in the guide. Great idea.
My RSN appears to work in the NBC app.
Will those also work with streamlinks?
If so , Is it possible for someone to give me the EXIF syntax for NBC sports boston? Anyone figure that one out?
I dont know the spellings for that particular channel.
That channel is working for me in the nbc app, so Im hoping to put it back in channels with the streamlink.
Thanks

In the iOS NBC app can you watch it, then click the share icon and share the link here?
While watching I used the share sheet and messaged the link to myself. This is what i got..
Check out @nbc Live
However, this only opens the app and doesnt jump to the channel I was watching.
Edit: interesting find. I turned of blocking on my pihole, and the link that was generated worked once.
Heres what i got after regenerating the link:
Check out @nbc Live
Edit: only worked once lol
Thanks for the notes, I'm learning a lot! Just curious, but how did you get the "GIBoX-XF5i0" for CNBC on YouTube TV? I'd love to experiment with other channels and apps to see how this all works, even with the caveats you've laid out.

Not sure if that would work.
Like nbctve://live/rsn-boston
I don't know about logo or guide data. But did it at least launch the channel.

Just start playing the live channel on the YTTV site and what I assume is their channel id shows up in the URL. Like https://tv.youtube.com/watch/GIBoX-XF5i0

If you would like your new Stream Link powered channels to slot in where they were as TV Everywhere channels, you can use this template. This will preserve the channel numbers and IDs, so that they'll show back up in the Channel Collections you had them in before:
