I default to HLS.. May I ask why you'd want MPEG-TS?
The Stats when playing things from Fast though, like Pluto, says its a mpeg-ts stream though. Is it supposed to say HLS?
I'm bringing in an IPTV stream and channels doesn't seem to work unless I switch it to MPEG-TS.
I just read one of the streams, it ends with .m3u8, that's HLS so why are both channels AND Fast unable to play it?
Considering the quantity of channels and sources, is there anyway to add a Channel Numbering option? For example, Pluto is 900, TVE, is 1000, etc.? I think right now they call get pulled in in order but there's no way to break them apart.
got ya.. i suppose I could add an override if you preferred your feed to be MPEG vs HLS.
sure there is -- use the feeds function. Again, I HIGHLY recommend using custom feeds instead of the default output feed.
as example, here's my production feeds:
No it's an issues on my end, the m3u8 works fine in VLC, doesn't work in FAST as play here or full screen.
just so i fully understand-
this is a custom playlist you are pulling into FC, and the stream won't play in the built-in web player, and only plays on Channels if you set the feed to MPEG-TS?
They've had the Star Trek channels for a long time. The last series they added was ENT. Still odd they don't have DS9, not that I'd watch it anyway. TOS is always on in the background when I work from home. We had it on TNG last night in memoriam.
I thought for sure the next one to go was going to be Shatner. 95 and still going. Stewart passing first was a big surprise, but I forgot that he had Alzheimer's and LBD.
I can't play it in FAST in any way.
I can't play it in Channels with HLS.
I CAN play it in Channels with MPEG TS.
When I plug the m3u link directly into Channels as HLS, it fails.
When I plug the m3u link directly into Channels as MPEG TS, it works.
Everything works in VLC, it's an .m3u playlist with m3u8 links.
I am trying to understand why channel guide logos show up on Apple devices but not on ONN-Android devices. Just throwing this out in case someone has already resolved this. Otherwise all other guide data is correct. Thanks!
Well, I just confirmed it's all MPEG-TS, not HLS... so there you have it. Is there an option to default to MPEG-TS in both FAST and Channels?
Are both clients on your local network?
Not currently, but Ill add to next version. Easy fix

Both are in my RV using TailScale. Guide is updated as expected. Everything except logos are there.
Anyone else here playing around with Spelunkr.tv?
It's awesome. It's basically a “nostalgia generator” cable box TV simulator with all sorts of interesting and weird videos streaming free from Internet Archive, categorized neatly.
You can view it on the web. And they have an app for Android TV here too: https://spelunkr.tv/apk
I was playing around with Claude and building my own tvOS version but then also came across this container:
I thought it would be great if Spelunkr could be inluded with FastChannels too! How awesome it'd be to include this content in Channels DVR. Thanks for the continued excellent work and consideration 
Don’t you guys have enough channels yet? 
I’ll take a look! I have a feeling it’s one of those quasi-live projects where it just serves up static videos that plays VOD files but not a real stream.
