That would work for me.
Is there anywhere else to see the number of missed scrapes besides the Duplicate Finder?
That did it, thank you!
U try that beta report in help yet? I haven’t done much of anything with it
NICE!
I didn't even realize it was a link there cuz it wasn't underlined and didn't jump out at me.
New Today and At Risk look correct for today.
Not sure about these numbers (seems too high)
- Now Inactive Today - 445 - Inactive rows updated since 2026-05-02 17:00 PDT, not guaranteed exact loss time
- Returned - 3164 - Previously missing channels back in lineup
Now Inactive Today
Channels that went inactive within the selected window. Timing is approximate — based on when the change was detected, not when the channel actually disappeared.

Thanks for this! I created a custom channel for a free to air HLS stream for BYU-TV. I added it to my family feed. The internal preview worked fine.

Yea not sure how much I trust it either. But decent little snapshot I guess.
The gold standard

Does this mean TVE channels also?
Probably not but that could be interesting. Never tried to see how that even works
As far as I know (I'm not a developer) the existing solutions (CDVR, EPlusTV, PrismCast) use puppeteer, chrome or chromium and I think xvfb.
I definitely understand if you think it's not worth the time and effort.
The non-DRM TVE channels have dwindled in number.
Channels DVR covers most of them with a few exceptions.
Personally, I get the ones Channels DVR doesn't work with using EPlusTV and PrismCast.
Having guide data for these custom channels also would allow recording, which would be really neat to have. 1hr time blocks works for that well.
Time shifting pausing etc is not possible on twitch live streams normally. But having them in channels allows that. Very freaking useful. Annoying that they be the ad interruptions, but that’s a fair trade-off.
I got the guide information to work by adding the Gracenote ID for the Custom Channel in the Channels tab. The "Find" button also works depending on how the channel is named. That's how I got the guide to work for my custom channel.
I am adding 1-hour blocks in next version. Obviously won’t be real EPG data, but something is better than nothing.

Future feature request, to cover various contexts. How about the possibility of custom time blocks, per custom channel? So some otherwise-guideless stream channels could have 2-hour blocks (tvc-guide-placeholders:7200) for example, while others could have 1 hour, or 30 minutes (tvc-guide-placeholders:1800)
This one comes to mind because of things like live concert and event streams...
Obviously, some of these YT streams have guide data on gracenote so I think having the option to add the gracenote id to each of them would be a good idea but yeah
sure easy enough- ill just add to new version

really? i suppose I could then
edit- it should work now as is. Custom channels behave just like normal channels on the admin/channels page. just set gracenote to manual and set the ID

Yeah...some YT feeds are actual channels with guide data on Gracenote (eg. France24, BBC News, Al Jazeera, etc.) so those are handled.
Something like some random dude's gaming channel obviously won't have any guide data 
I'm finding the Channel Changes Report useful to see what new channels have been added and which channels are at risk.
My problem is trying to correlate the data for the at risk channels.
For example, Plex Fork & Flight is listed in the report as missing 1 scrape
It's still in my output feed, but doesn't stream.
I have my Plex source set to scrape every 60 minutes.
The report is saying "Last seen 2026-04-27 14:29 PDT", which is 7 days ago.
What does "Last seen" mean?
Going to the channels tab I do an inspect and see a 404 (not found?) error.
Looking at the Duplicate Finder to see how many scrapes were missed doesn't show any.
Even though the report says 1 missed scrape.
Looking at the Audit for my Plex source shows "RuntimeError" during last Audit 5 days ago
So I ran the Audit again where 404 and 504 errors are shown as RuntimeError

Shouldn't the ones getting a 404 be marked as Dead ?

i watch some pluto stuff, but a lot of their channels are not worth watching over the plex version. pluto unfortunately suffers from random rewind and a few other issues. looks like the ability to fine tune exists now though.
i never got around to fixing my pluto container after they started requiring an account. looks like this is a good option, and i like that it seems to alert you to channels coming/going. good stuff, OP! i'll have to see how the custom sources compares to channels collections.
