Frndly TV for Channels

Ok, I deleted the existing container and redid it from scratch. The container/script did not like special characters in my password, so I changed it to something that allowed the docker script to complete without error. I am up and running. Like I said, my aging brain! Thanks guys!!!

From the URL @tmm1 posted it looks like you can create an application which uses a compose yaml.
Sounds like that's how to use a compose statement (yaml) to create a container.

Pardon the layman's question....If I understand correctly, I would goto the terminal and run git clone GitHub - matthuisman/frndlytv-for-channels: Frndly TV for Channels. Is that right? If so, when I run that it says zsh: command not found: git

How is the command not found if it is running and I have the 56 stations already, just trying to add the West channel. Am I missing something?

I sure appreciate the help. Thanks Scott

Did you install git?

Did you install FrndlyTV-for-Channels originally using the Python method or Docker?

Looks like he used Python
Non-Docker Frndly for Channels - General - Channels Community

Frndly added MovieSphere Gold today. How long do the new channels usually take to show up in the container?

Moviesphere gold gracenote id: 185303

The channels show immediately.
But for them to get mapped to a gracenote - i need to be advised the new gracenote ID and add it to a file https://i.mjh.nz/frndly_tv/app.json that the docker container uses to get those mappings for your locally generated playlist

@matthuisman Have we mentioned lately that you are AWESOME!!!!

It will now show up in your gracenote channels.
Either refresh the gracenote source playlist (Reload M3U) and redownload the guide data, or wait for tomorrow morning when Channels DVR refreshes them both.

Thank @matthuisman

Working with the Python method.

Thank you! The new channel is working for me.

I just reloaded the M3U (I use Python)…but I just went to the server and went to the FRNDLY source and right clicked on it and reloaded m3u and the moviesphere channel shows up automatically. I posted several days ago about the new WEST channel and it never comes up…who does what to get the channels to come up automatically just by refreshing the M3U? Whoever does whatever…can they do that for the WEST channel too please? Pretty Please?

Should already be there.
Reload M3U and then Redownload guide data.

The new WEST channel is in my FRNDLY1 or main FRNDLY source. Using python.

Like deb said, it's included in Source 1

you probably need to update the code to get WEST channel...
