Frndly TV for Channels

[RyzenBeast]

@mjitkop

The "git clone" command is a shell command so it needs to be run in the normal terminal, not in the Python session.

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.

@matthuisman wants real pings, so obliging

@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?

is the toons channel live on Frndly TV now?

[mjitkop]

I don't see it in the Frndly TV guide at this time.
Officially, it is supposed to start on June 25th.

[matthuisman]

thanks. not sure what im being pinged for ?

[hancox]

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

[matthuisman]

no worries 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

[rpaulmerrell]

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.

[bnanewbie]

I am already seeing this OTA…they are playing a promo video loop right now….

[mjitkop]

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?
