Fox @ 4k HDR

mtnbkr60 · February 12, 2023, 5:08pm

The channel does authenticate when I scan for it. Has the check mark.

Correct. You can watch in their app without login. That has nothing to do with our TVE integration.

Edwin_Perez · February 12, 2023, 5:14pm

Right but I read that you can watch online on their LiveTV site without any provider login.

You can. He just posted that same sentiment.

Unchecking the 4K box got my local working again.

Channels2021 · February 12, 2023, 5:20pm

Probably need the app for 4k/hdr.

Unchecking the 4K box did not get my local FOX working. "403 forbidden"

Channels2021 · February 12, 2023, 5:22pm

Anyone get the new ChannelsDVR 4K implementation working?

This is the free stream for UHD:

Unfortunately they're using a different type of format that Channels doesn't understand.

I have plans today so this is not going to work. You may be able to feed into xteve or other type of ffmpeg based proxy which can convert this type of playlist.

If you make a .strm file with the url I think that Kodi can play it. Probably Emby too.

EDIT: seems video only, no audio. You would need to get the main playlist yourself from chrome web inspector. Or use EPLUS docker with VLC/Kodi/etc

mtnbkr60 · February 12, 2023, 5:26pm

Edwin_Perez · February 12, 2023, 5:32pm

It works on VLC Full Screen. No sound

Channels2021 · February 12, 2023, 5:36pm

4K or 1440?

nschaffner · February 12, 2023, 5:43pm

cyoungers · February 12, 2023, 5:43pm

On VLC:

Edwin_Perez · February 12, 2023, 5:47pm

Do You get Sound ?

nschaffner · February 12, 2023, 5:48pm

sound is on _7 with no video

Channels2021 · February 12, 2023, 5:48pm

Thanks. Did you figure out the audio?
edit.
I see your post. Thanks again.

So You either have sound or great Video not both ... That is enough experimenting ... back to Fox Sports.

Edwin_Perez · February 12, 2023, 5:58pm

I got sound by opening multiple streams ... Opened 2 Instances of VLC.
