ah4c is not involved then. Put your "virtual encoder" URL (as we've discussed at length previously) in as the Capture/encoder stream URL value, and turn off the ah4c bridge.
That's what I did. I also removed the ah4c server url.
Does the "Test connection" button work? What do the FastChannels logs show when you try to tune?

silly question - what m3u/feed are you putting into channels then if you're using the single port step?
ah4c shouldnt even be triggered if your using this one:
I'm not seeing the #EXTINF info. Here are screen shots of what I did:
FastChannels and tuning works great...just not getting the video back. Since I don't see the #EXTINF data, I can't figure out what number to use (ex: yours is 70092):
oh! you have to setup the camera as a seperate source. that's the missing link. see posts 1, and 2 here for setup. (ps don't disable the source like he recommends - i found it problematic).
edit: here's my setup (on ubuntu fyi)
@KineticMan PR#46 submitted:
I added an option to both DirecTV and Sling to be able to exclude FAST channels. This is done through toggles, and each also has an the option to purge the identified FAST channels immediately, without waiting for them to "age out".
Also, DTV is one of the few (only?) sources that provides correct Gracenote Station IDs via their API, however those IDs were not being utilized. They are now the first choice where DTV is concerned, only dropping back to the community map where they are not provided (this is typically only the case with some legacy channels that only show-up for satellite subscribers).

Well, that fixed the problem with trying to tune with ah4c (so many things to revert after messing things up! 
But it still does not tune a channel. I've tried Espn2 and the app tried channel 881, my directv guide shows it as channel 209. I also tried Freeform, the app tried to tune 4211, my guide is showing it as channel 311.
Weird. Delete and recreate db inside CDVR settings? I’m confused why it’d tune a different channel. Unless you have conflicting names on CDVR?
@KineticMan Do you think Xfinity Stream is in the cards for the FC Player Bridge? My remote encoder and streaming sticks are tuning via the Xfinity app. It works well with ah4c, but the tuning times are far from the best, and could definitely use an FC makeover. 
I recreated the db in CDVR, but no change in channel number trying to be tuned.
@bnhf has said the Directv Stream channel numbers do not match up to the Directv Satellite channel numbers (which is what I subscribe to). I checked the fastchannels.db in \data\docker\volumes\fastchannels_db_data_data and Freeform shows its channel id as 4211 which is not correct for my sub.
Actually that's not quite accurate. DTV Satellite and DTV Stream use the same channel numbers for those channels they share. However, Satellite still has the old SD channels which share the same number as the HD channels.
In addition, there are still some some channels available to Satellite subscribers that have never been available to Stream. Also, some of those channels do not have Gracenote IDs, at least available via the API, whereas Stream has 99% coverage as far as Gracenote is concerned.
Having said all that, it's worth noting that FastChannels does not care about DTVs traditional channel numbers, and in fact they are discarded during the processing of the scrape -- so don't get hung-up on channel numbers.
Assuming it’s the same backend as Cox, I got bad news. They blocked all my attempts to use Linux Widevine (and thus Android). I’ll sure try but outlook isn’t good.
Well I don't understand then why any channel I've tried doesn't match my channel number. I've just tried Fail Army which FC has 1000963 as the channel id and my Directv guide shows it as 4301.
At this point I think it would be helpful if you started posting some screenshots of your FastChannels setup. Obviously, something is very wrong, but without more information on your configuration it's hard to tell what. I'd suggest screenshots of your FC Sources setup for DirecTV, the HDMI bridge, and at least a few pages of your enabled FC Channels for DirecTV.

You will probably have the same issue with YTTV. Google is insane with their Widevine.
Everything looks dialed-in there. At this point, one has to wonder if there's a deeper issue related to you being a Satellite customer. This is probably something @KineticMan will need to look at.
