Frndly TV for Channels

[chDVRuser]

Thanks for the explanation.

Looks like 123651 may be a better match for ION Mystery than 112568

Are you pulling in live streams from Peacock and Freevee? If so mind sharing how.

[warrentc3]

I am not. Just exploring all the avenues of guide data.

Interesting. Can you elaborate a little bit more?

[chDVRuser]

You could try something like what I did to verify the correct stationId

Frndly TV for Channels

@matthuisman StartTV stationid should be changed to 122695. Using the method I described here Picking the correct tvc-guide-stationid for a channel and looking at 16 days of airings (386 airings), stationid's 74916, 109454 and 122772 are identical. stationid 122695 has 11 of 386 airings different. I recorded 3 of the differences and found stationid 122695 has the correct listings. Here's 2 of them from last Sunday.and stationid 122695 on the right side was correct. [Capture] If anyone wa…

should we change ION Mystery from 112568 -> 123651 ?

[chDVRuser]

Don't see why, unless @warrentc3 has a reason.

stationId's 89923, 112568 and 123651 all have the same exact program listings for the next 16 days

[matthuisman]

ok. ill leave as-is on 112568 for now

I think the Heartland on frndly should be reverted back to XML guide data... that's a different Heartland than 78584, which is a country music channel.

[chDVRuser]

Not sure what's airing on that channel (Heartland) as I never watched or recorded it.
If it's episodes of a show named Heartland (2007) which has 16 Seasons, there are a couple stationId's with listings.
I don't know if they're correct for what's airing though.

"stationId": "121952","callSign": "XAZHRT","name": "Heartland","type": "Streaming"
"stationId": "124629","callSign": "XTBHRT","name": "Heartland","type": "Streaming"

Looks like it is episodes of Heartland (2007) airing on frndlyTV, but the stationId listings above don't align with what's airing.

@matthuisman I agree with @warrentc3 that it should be put back to the XMLTV listings from frndlyTV, at least until someone finds an accurate stationId for the channel.

Thanks for this… i don’t have gracenote dev access to peruse. I will do some painstaking validation over the weekend of the guide data and follow up next week.

Neither do I

To find possible stationId's by name or call sign

M3U files - Supported Metadata & EPG Tags

Here's what I do. Bookmark this link http://127.0.0.1:8089/tms/stations/STATIONNAME in your browser after changing 127.0.0.1:8089 to the IP address and port of your Channels DVR Server. When you want to find a stationId, just change STATIONNAME in the url to what you want to search for, like this http://127.0.0.1:8089/tms/stations/news 12 [Capture] If you know the call sign of the station, search for that instead, like this 127.0.0.1:8089/tms/stations/N12NJHD [Capture]

Then setup the potential stationId's in a custom M3U source, adding as many lines as there are stationId's to check

Frndly TV for Channels

Create a custom M3U source something like this #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1 channel-id="Cowboy Way-127279" channel-number="9061" tvg-chno="9061" tvc-guide-stationid="127279" tvg-id="COWBOYW" tvg-name="Cowboy Way-127279",Cowboy Way-127279 http://192.168.1.3:8089/devices/ANY/channels/9050/stream.mpg?format=ts I assigned it channel 9061 and when played/recorded it uses the one from frndlyTV (ch 9050 on mine) Using this example with stream.mpg?format=ts it needs to be Stream Format MPEG-TS

At that point I run a curl/jq script to list what's on each channel from the custom M3U source and compare them.

done yesterday. heartland no longer uses gracenote

[chDVRuser]

Thanks Matt, noticed this morning when the M3U's refreshed,

[warrentc3]

BabyFirst TV should be 50338. That guide data aligns with the guide data present on the frndly site. Callsign of BABY1
119335 does not.

[matthuisman]

have updated babyfirst to 50338. itll be on the next generated json

For about a week, I'm not able to tune any Frndly sources that I try.

I get the following:
Could not fetch playlist: 127.0.0.1:8183 (Timeout) messages, timeout awaiting response headers.

I've removed the docker completely and started fresh with the latest. Channels sees them when I add the source, but I'm not able to watch them.

Any ideas?

[brookz]

127.0.0.1:8183 playlists are there, and I see all available channels and listings within Channels DVR, but no video starts on any channel. I even get a black screen like it's just about to connect, but nothing.

You would need to check the logs on the docker container
