What crashes? The DeepLink app? That's weird. I've never had that happen, when my link attempts fail, the DeepLink app just sits there. When they succeed, the target app (like PBS or Fandango) either launch, or a permission dialog pops up its first time.
Since DeepLink is a TestFlight beta, you may want to report those crashes to the developer.
I tried a few variations for LocalTV+ and also wasn't successful. Since that app only works in Massachusetts and I couldn't dive in deeper. Maybe someone else will get further along to a soliution.
I have just lost my local Fox station in Tampa to ATSC 3.0 DRM (My antenna can't pick up the 1.0 station) and I can get the local live stream on the FOX app.
I suspect I can use Stream Links to put the local station back on my guide, but I am lost with all the back and forth.
The stream link would need to bring up the fox app rather than play through channels.
If you want to watch fox, you will need to look at some of th eprojects in the group used to bring in content protected with DRM.
Has anyone collected every known and current Stream Link Station in a spreadsheet or something? If so, I'm quite interested and have a plan for it in regards to this:
Thanks, but that looks like its for YouTube Live streams. I'm actually looking for Stream Links, like hulu://watch/9ff633cc-f14d-4a7b-8ca3-3å8ef99def692. I can see plenty of them in this thread, I just didn't know if anyone collected them already?
I'm a bit confused. Here's my dilemma. My cable TV is purchased by our HOA and they didn't get the 4K set top boxes. I was able to get ATSC 3 stations with an attic antenna and HDHomerun Flex (but I can't get any 1.0 stations) and the antenna channels were much sharper and colorful than the cable. One by one, the stations went DRM. I can get the major ATSC 1.0 channels from a different market but they carry different sports teams. My TVE doesn't have local channels. I subscribe to Peacock, Paramount, etc and I can get the local channels (sports on ABC is carried by ESPN App and CBS by the Paramount APP and NBC by the Peacock APP and FOX by the Fox app .....) and I would love to integrate them into Channels. Is this even possible?
Man, that saga sounds really frustrating, to see your TV options get whittled down one-by-one, especially when it’s from new DRM restrictions… ugh
Anyway, the good news is that yes, there are ways to integrate those streams you have via the apps, back into Channals DVR. There are homebrew add-on projects that are designed for this.
Here’s one, using Chrome on a server:
or
For the latter, you’ll need a dedicated Android streamer, the Onn TV box is a solid choice:
There is lots of discussion in this forum about these projects. A great place to start is by installing docker, Portainer, and then OliveTin, because OliveTin can handle the rest (and so much more) very easily for you:
Each path has its own pros and cons of course. I encourage you to try both and see what works best for your setup. Hope this helps, and enjoy-
Unfortunately, unless I missed something, I didn't see anything in that thread than was different than here. I already get the individual app launches; it is just the list of every station for those apps that I'm looking for in a nice, simple, collected format. Since it doesn't appear it exists, I'll have to scour this thread for what I can.
The only way I have been able to get this channel in the guide to watch has been with the FuboTV bridge Docker. Unfortunately the developer that created this docker is no longer maintaining it and the Fubo API has changed (it still works for users that have not stopped the service but new users will not be able to authenticate.)
If you just want the guide info and to open the app for the live stream this is the info I used when it was still Bally Sports branded.
Welp, I went through this entire thread and then some and there is an okay amount of documented Stream Link Stations, but not enough to make the "automatically build stations" component worthwhile to fully develop. That said, I have something else ready to assist with Stream Link Stations that I'll launch soon..........
This, combined with the new function to automatically create the Custom Channel in Channels DVR with a single button click can help make managing these and other stations and streaming playlists much easier. You'll still need to know and get the links like nbctve://live/usa yourself, but that is all you'll need to have and know in order to implement this feature.
Did anyone ever work out how to use the streamlines for UK apps? Specifically NOWTV, ITV FAST channels - they can be opened from TVOS using tvlauncher app so I am guessing there is a way of creating a link? Any super tech people out there that can point me in the right direction please?
