Frndly TV for Channels

I'll give that a whirl.

@mjitkop

I'm not getting it here! I tried in cmd as administrator and still nothing. I guess I'm not understanding "normal terminal" which I took as the Windows cmd window.

I will go through the steps myself too and capture everything in details. Stay tuned for detailed step-by-step instructions to install Frndly TV for Channels without using Docker.

THANK YOU

@RyzenBeast here you go, I hope this will make the whole process much easier:

@matthuisman wants real pings, so obliging :slight_smile:

@matthuisman

not sure where/how/if this plays into anything, but timezone being hardcoded into the auth header... but could possibly cause some gremlins for non-Kiwis?

Sorry. My fault there. I saw guide data and thought it was from frndly. Apologies!

no worries :slight_smile: i need frndly to add it so i can think get the channel id / slug and link the gracenote to that.

By default, without a gracenote you should still get the data that frndly gives but its pretty light in information. So if there is a gracenote that maches - its better to use that

if i were to estimate, they will fire up the link a couple of days befor official launch.
They need to test the link and so on.
I'm sure the digital automation is already broadcasting the stream or at least testing.

I am not getting any channels now.

The Python server is started but nothing is happening:

Starting server on port 8183

I checked Frndly TV directly and no issues.

Is it just me?
