Fixed in prerelease.
Did the version on channel 6725 stop working for everyone or just me?
I still have a custom one set up but no EPG.
thx!
Working fine for me
From the log...

weird
Yeah my 6725 is showing "missing video url". I actually noticed it this morning but decided to give it some time. Figured it was a problem on their end and not a Channels problems. It has been about 12 hours now. I just rescanned my Spectrum source and now it is showing "missing video url" there too.
This manually created one works but I don't have epg for it

It seems like the 6725 does fail but it seemed to work for me because it was loading up the m3u on 6725 failure

Cool. Is that benefit of connection sharing? I don’t have that turned on my system… yet.
Yeah, I submitted a support ticket several days ago, but haven't heard back. So I added the m2u version, which works.
Honestly I don’t know why it tunes the m3u on failure of the tve stream. I have not set up anything special. Not sure what you mean by connection sharing. I do have tve higher priority in sources so channels is probably smart enough to go to the next source down for the channel
My bad. I meant tuner sharing. Anyway… Yeah it makes sense now that I spent 2 seconds thinking about it. Lol. I only thought of priority in a recording sense, not a live sense.
M3U streams are always shared.
I did some comparisons and tweaking to my line
Added
tvc-guide-stationid="121307"
which seems to be correct for CST time zone
Removed
tvc-guide-title="Live weather"
which seems to have been overriding the guide data from the above
Found a jpg that I like better for tvg-logo=
Here's my new line:

Any updates on Fox Weather - Spectrum. Was working fine, but now shows "Failed to start stream for ch6725: TVE: missing video url."

I’ve got the same ongoing problem with Fox Weather using YTTV. And to worsen matters, the Weather Channel app on Fire TV sticks and cube (using Spectrum ISP credentials to log in) has crapped out totally. That’s not a Channels problem, but I’ve become suddenly weatherless.

@Suds just create a custom source and plug in the info from the picture 10 posts up and it will work.

I did exactly that and it worked like a charm. Thank you for that tip. 
I’m wondering why this stopped working with YTTV credentials without having to jump through these hoops.
6725 Confirmed fixed on prerelease v2022.05.16.1458
