Fox News TVE Pixelation

Whats confusing is the FoxNews stream doesn't have the "garbage" when using the web player, VLC, or IINA. I'm not saying there isn't an issue, just curious why it only seems to appear on Channels. If fixing that isn't worth the effort then changing the source to Fox TVE auth should be fairly simple.

From where it happening may be a mystery, but I notice its very prominent during Hannity and Watters. Which leads us to the why... no conspiracies, but a coincidence, maybe.. no problems in Plex with the virtual tuner...

I would think they would have done that already.
Look at how long the ch6002 issues have been going on.

FS1/FS2 have also had many issues over the years, these are also being pulled from a different 1080p stream with EPlusTV.

Yes, of course that's what it meant. We have nothing to do with, or do anything in the middle of what comes from the network's site, and what plays back in Channels. There must have been an issue with the source stream.

It's an ongoing issue, as I mentioned it doesn't show up in chrome, VLC, or IINA. The TVE streams hosted by Fox also do not have this issue when using EPlusTV to bring them into channels. Please switch all Fox TVE streams to the Fox.com source if possible, these seem less problematic and are 1080p rather than 720p.

There used to be a way to get the FoxOne channels m3u8 in chrome using an m3u sniffer,
The m3u8 needs to start with "cf" as below
But it works for less than minute in VLC and not in CHDVR either.403 Forbidden, likely times out.
