No worries, not an urgent issue since it doesn't impact functionality in Channels. Logging in to work now, will check this evening and report back. Thanks again for this awesome solution.
Just installed v4.7.3 - looks good so far. I really appreciate the fast response to fixing issues!
I just did a simple install using:
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --network=host -e FAST_PORT=5523 -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" --name fastchannels -v fastchannels_data:/data ghcr.io/kineticman/fastchannels:latest
waited about 15-20 minutes for initial scanning of channels. now, I am looking around at configurations.
do I need a Pluto account and login? I am previous using "ghcr.io/jgomez177/pluto-for-channels", and I did not need a Pluto account.
Welcome!
Pluto added username/password requirements a few months ago. However, we've noticed they don't actually check if your account is actually valid so you can just type in fake username/password and it seems to work (for now).
I don't see any harm in setting up a Pluto account, so up to you- but at minimum, you must put something in those fields.
is there a way to un-resolve or reset duplicate channels selections to start fresh again?
You could do a bulk selections (select all) and re-enable all channels
all my Pluto TV channels error with : Shaka error 4042 (MANIFEST.NO_WEB_CRYPTO_API): Shaka Error 4042. Web Crypto unavailable (secure context: false; crypto.subtle: false)
Are you using Chrome? Is your FastChannels server on your local LAN? Is this computer you are trying to stream them from on same LAN?
loaded in docker in QNAP NAS. ChannelsDVR is in the same QNAP NAS. same LAN network. other FAST Channels services are working fine (roku/tubi/plex/etc)
Pluto uses aes-128 encryption. Guessing something with the way your setup works prevents secure context between browser and the container. Sorry unable to debug that for you. It’ll play fine on your channels DVR clients though!
Vidaa back to behaving today
Stupid newbie question. I have FastChannels on my Synology NAS docker. How do I update to 4.7. I had to ssh (with much help!) to pull the image as Synology/Mac would not pull the image from Container Manager. Running well. I understand it will not update itself. How do I do this, please explain step by step, I am VERY new at docker (I programed in GW Basic and Pascal many years ago!). Thanks so much.
Feeds saving properly now on 4.7.3
If you wait about a day you can go to your images in container manager and it will give you a link that shows updates are available.
Follow the prompts and it will stop and pull the new container and re-create it for you.
i've done that a few times myself for this project.
Fubo TV just put DRM on all of the beIN Sports & beIN Sports Connect channels.....
I don't have many Vidaa channels enabled, but at least a few of them are working; others are showing shaka error.
Sort of figured the DRM was coming.
Time to either leave the service or use the Prismcast work around.
in my experience, their DRM is just pure crap.
My bigest problem with the technology has to do with the way the ad insertion doesn't play rought.
The stream plays then the ad insertion will start or try to start then it will freeze the stream.
Directv does a lot better job with DRM.
Best of luck.
@rpaulmerrell thanks for the reply. I think container manager on Synology/Mac would not pull the update. I can not connect to that registry, I had to ssh to download the original container. Is this correct? Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Although container manager doesn't auto install the update, it will display an update link eventually.
I usually ssh in and pull latest version and use the duplicate process to quickly update things.
If you have the compose file setup in you rprojects, you can pull the image, delete the container and use you rproject to re-create your container.
If running Docker Desktop for Mac could always install watchtower and you would just run that from the containers to update your containers. Although I install Fastchannels from the Olivetin setup on my Mac mini m2, and also have the watchtower installed, I just run that when I need to update. Not sure about the synology side though.
