Experimental: Stream Links from the Guide via Custom Channels

Channels DVR Server
#106

Wow! That works even better. Thanks!

#107

May I ask what you did? I must be missing something as I just see "got http response code 503" on all of these channels from apple tv. I also have the NBC app and the streams work fine from the app.

You need the TestFlight beta from getchannels.com/beta

Thank you!!!! I did not have the beta version and now that I do it is working well. Even though like many I am disappointed in NBC, I am also equally thrilled how you so quickly brought in a workaround to lessen the pain a bit.

So, are you saying this method won't work with only the Pre-Release server version? Is that why I'm still getting a 503 error in both iOS and tvOS because I'm not using the TestFlight beta?

Yes

Does anyone know how to go directly to a Spectrum channel? Every number I add to the end of the link, gives a message that I am not subscribed to that channel, and it defaults to the last channel.

I'm not sure how to get these numbers, but this is what works for spectrum app:

  • disney: spectrumtv://watch.spectrum.net/livetv/85?linkorigin=sirilivetunein&idtype=network
  • tbs: spectrumtv://watch.spectrum.net/livetv/340?linkorigin=sirilivetunein&idtype=network

if there are specific channels you want I can look them up

Has anyone got the NBA App opening up on tvOS? Thanks.

  1. This is very cool stuff.
  2. Probably a big ask, but it would make sense to have a way to prevent the DVR from using these as a recording source. In some cases, these links will be the only source of the channel available, so you will get failures. Just a thought.
#117

Sorry, one more thing:

It would make sense to have a way to enable an automatic collection for everything at a source, given this work. Going back/forth and adding to a collection when you make changes to streamlinks is a PITA.

Is there a link for SNY? Or could that be loaded through the NBC app (as a NBC RSN)?

Would this work for MSG?

Believe SNY split away from NBC app when they rolled their own app out.

Better chance to route it through a provider app (fubo, spectrum, etc)

This is one of the more interesting threads.
Trying to figure out where to jump back in
(Is it time to use docker) or can the above be done in webui (windows) played back iOS channels app (tv iPad iPhone)…

Is it possible a short video of it in action?
Or at least screen caps

Then finally compile step by step simple instructions to achive —- this result——(insert video or screen cap)…

If I may this seemed to work (community wise) as envisioned?
An issue, posts
more data surrounding said issue
Thoughts or ideas
Becomes a suggestion
Someone tries it (aka workaround)
Now we are this..

Well done all

Like I said one of the more interesting threads you can watch the evolution happen..

Thank you all

#121

There are screenshots in the first post.

#122

well as Homer would say DOH! thanks and sorry about not going all the way back... :crazy_face:

#123

Try gametime://

MSG doesn't have an app on Apple TV

#124

Would it be possible to eventually update the first post with all known/working stream links for Apple TV? I tried unsuccessfully to create a few on my own.

#125

Worked great! Thanks.
