Frndly TV for Channels

Just tried that and same error. How do I delete everything from the docker container and start that from scratch? Thanks.

Check the Frndly for Channels docker container log.
Did you pass your username and password environment variables to it?

Here's what I use (portainer stack)

docker compose

version: '3.9'
services:
  # GitHub home for this project: https://github.com/matthuisman/frndlytv-for-channels
  # Matt Huisman's webpage for this project: https://www.matthuisman.nz/2021/11/frndly-tv-for-channels.html
  # Docker Hub home for this project: https://hub.docker.com/r/matthuisman/frndlytv-for-channels
  frndlytv-for-channels:
    image: matthuisman/frndlytv-for-channels:${TAG}
    container_name: frndlytv-for-channels
    network_mode: "bridge" # for overriding with xfinity dns servers
    ports:
      - ${HOST_PORT}:80
    environment:
  #   - IP=${IP} # For Geo-locating FrndlyTV to a different area
  #   - KEEP_ALIVE=${KEEP_ALIVE} # number of minutes between auth token checks. Default is 5, 0 to disable. If auth token has expired, it will renew it.
      - USERNAME=${USERNAME} # FrndlyTV username (the email you used to sign-up)
      - PASSWORD=${PASSWORD} # FrndlyTV password (the password you chose when you signed-up)
      - TZ=${TZ} # Add your local timezone in standard linux format. E.G. US/Eastern, US/Central, US/Mountain, US/Pacific, etc
    restart: unless-stopped

Environment variables

TAG=latest
HOST_PORT=8183
USERNAME=my_username
PASSWORD=my_password
TZ=America/Los_Angeles

Logs show a username/password issue. This is the command I am using to create the docker image.

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --env "[email protected]" --env "xxxxxxxxx" --name frndlytv-for-channels -p 8183:80 matthuisman/frndlytv-for-channels

That's incorrect. See Frndly TV for Channels
Should be --env "USERNAME=MY_EMAIL" --env "PASSWORD=MY_PASSWORD"

That was it! Thanks a ton!

Do yourself a favor and install Portainer

You can then use it to install any of these docker containers

Much easier than messing with command line docker

I do have it installed and I have used a couple of the features, but when I opened it up to add FRNDLY, I was lost so I went the other direction. I haven't used Docker all summer because I wasn't home. Trying to get Channels back up to speed, now that I am back home.

I also see now where it shows the env and I would have immediately realized my login/password wasn't showing, along with a better view of the log.

I'm also experiencing many login errors, here's the latest one

You might also try dockge rather than portage. I prefer that myself after using both.

I love this addon. Every station works, I can exclude stations that I don't want, and I even get guide data from the addon where gracenote isn't available. FrndlyTV is a perfect addition to the TV Everywhere stations.

It might be nice to actually have a way of doing my own channel numbering (not just a starting number) but I wasn't attached to my own numbering enough for it to be a big deal.

@matthuisman

Frndly TV (no Gracenote EPG): 6 channels (+1)

+ TASTEMADE

frndly-135

The Gracenote ID could be 107076 if it's the same channel as the free channel that's on channel number 6788.

I watched a little bit of both channels at the same time and it was the same show so I think this is correct.

Channels DVR is able to retry/recover from all of these, except for one. Just wanted to bring these to your attention.

Two new seasonal channels that I'm guessing will be removed after the holidays:

  • ZA Stingray Holidayscapes (frndly-138)
  • ZB Stingray Greatest Holiday Hits (frndly-137)

I doubt that they have any Gracenote EPG but I'm not sure.

@matthuisman See @kyl416's post below for the Gracenote IDs.

There’s several gracenote entries for these Stingray stations. I’ll do some checking and comparing and will follow up here later today.

Use HOL001 (147936) for Holidayscapes
Use SM047D (113306) for Greatest Holiday Hits (Greatest Holiday Hits is a seasonal rebrand of Greatest Hits)
