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?
I guess my other alternative is a Zapper Box.
Did you check the box in the Experimental section of the server settings, for local channel support in TVE?
Yes…Actually Fox appears as available but I just get a forever whirlybird.
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:

You’ll also need an HDMI encoder.
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.
Yeah...thats not possible. You would have to seek that out yourself 
I don't think many people want to sort through all those links. Just the ones they want IMO
So, I'm not smart with this at all. Trying to get FanDuel Sports Network South to show up in my guide.
I got all of the NBC networks to show up by copying some of the links in this thread.
FWIW, it's xfinity channel 1250 if that matters at all, but I want it to link to the FanDuel app.
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.
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="ballysse" tvg-chno="6301" tvc-guide-stationid="",Bally Sports Southeast
ballysports://livenow
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="ballysso" tvg-chno="6302" tvc-guide-stationid="",Bally Sports South
ballysports://livenow
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..........
In the latest version of Playlist Manager for Channels (a Streaming Library Manager extension), there is now support for "Stream Link Stations" under Streaming Stations. Check out the details here:
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.
Enjoy!

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?

Thank you!!!!!
It seems that Now TV in the UK has just updated to merge with Peacock. I’m trying to find deeplinks for Android TV (Nvidia Shield) to launch live channels from within the Now TV app. The AndroidManifest.xml from the latest Now TV APK seems to confirm that Now TV is now Peacock under the hood.
Main Launch activity:
<activity android:name="com.peacock.peacocktv.GoogleMainActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:exported="true">
Deeplink support:
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<data android:host="tv.client.ott.sky.com" android:scheme="https"/>
</intent-filter>
tv.client.ott.sky.com is still the host, but the deeplink pattern being:
<data android:host="@string/deeplink_hostname" android:pathPattern="/deeplink" android:scheme="https"/>
suggests that the deeplinks will go like this:
https://tv.client.ott.sky.com/deeplink
This lead me to the Peacock stream link questions and resolution here:
I’m not quite sure where to go from here, but if I change:
https://www.peacocktv.com/deeplink?deeplinkData={"pvid":"04569a08-33e0-3835-9a21-76af2e31fa69","type":"PROGRAMME","action":"PLAY"}
To:
https://tv.client.ott.sky.com/deeplink?deeplinkData={"pvid":"04569a08-33e0-3835-9a21-76af2e31fa69","type":"PROGRAMME","action":"PLAY"}
I can get the Now TV app to open and a message pops up saying “Content is not available”. I assume that it’s because I’m trying to play a US-based show on Peacock from whatever that ‘pvid’ value is.
I’m wondering if there is anything that can be done to that link to tweak it to play a live channel stream in Now TV. Does the Peacock service in the US have live channels, and can they be streamed via deeplinks? If so, does anyone know of any variations in the link above, or any others that launch live TV streams via Peacock that I might be able to test to get a live channel stream on Now TV in the UK?
See:
Amazing! Thank you - that nailed it.
For Now TV users on Nvidia Shield in the UK, I can confirm this works to launch directly into a live channel:
https://tv.client.ott.sky.com/deeplink?deeplinkData={"serviceKey”:"xxxx","type":"LINEAR_CHANNEL","action":"PLAY"}
