I just find it odd that this started to occur for the frndly and MLB containers.
yup. dns not resolving. if your using ISP dns - switch to something like 1.1.1.1

Is your NAS (and containers running on it) using the same DNS server as the rest of your home network?
I have everything on my home network using my routers LAN IP address for their DNS Server and my router uses Cloudflare DoH.

Yes everything is running together just different ports. Not sure how I can change my dns settings on my synology.
Change it in Control Panel > Network.
If your main router acts as a DHCP server for everything you can have the Synology get it's reserved DHCP IP address from it as well as having your main router act as the DNS server for your LAN, then set the Internet DNS server you want everything to use on your router.
@chDVRuser I did a restart of my NAS and it its now working, I did not change the DNS settings. I was able to add frndly as a source again. Thank you so much for your assistance and knowledge.

Looks like it updated about 20 minutes ago. I refreshed the lineups and guide data and it looks good!

Getting error "Exception: Unauthorized access" from the Frndly for Channels docker container once or twice a month.
It can happen when Channels DVR tries to start a recording or fetch lineup or guide data.
Appears that Frndly for Channels logs in, but then gets an error that it's not logged in.
I'm using KEEP_ALIVE=0 since I had problems in the past if I don't have that set.
If it happens trying to start a recording or fetch guide data, Channels DVR will retry and succeed.
This one happened on a lineup refresh during the daily morning guide fetch and wasn't retried by Channels DVR, so the lineup refresh failed.
Can this be fixed in the Frndly for Channels code, or can we get Channels DVR to retry the lineup refresh.

I removed KEEP_ALIVE=0 a couple days ago when I redeployed the container. Will see if that helps. Although I think that's the default in the latest version from 2023-04-08 I was and am running.
Is anyone else seeing this?
If the FrndlyTV for Channels container is logged out of FrndlyTV when a recording starts, Channels DVR always has to retry 3 times to get the master playlist.
The first 3 times Channels DVR shows a 504 Gateway Time-out.
Must be that Channels DVR can't get the master playlist from FrndlyTV(akamaized.net), since the container gives Channels DVR a fresh playlist url every time.
Below is a combination of the Channels DVR log, FrndlyTV for Channels container log and the Channels DVR debug recording log.

2024/03/11 15:00:15.763032 [DVR] Recording for job 1710194400-ch9025 from M3U-frndlyTV ch9025 into "TV/fyi every 8 hrs/fyi every 8 hrs 2024-03-11-1500.mpg" for 9m45.40687593s
Didn't help. Still getting the Exception: Unauthorized access
And still getting the 3 retries to record if logged out when the recording starts.
At least Channels DVR recovers from these, except when it happens during a lineup refresh.
I notice interruptions on some recording also when it starts to record.
Thanks. Good to hear it's not just me.
The only issue this seems to cause is not getting lineup refreshes when it happens at that time since Channels DVR doesn't retry in that case.
It does retry fetching guide data and starting a recording when it happens.
I see the same "401" and "Unauthorized access" "logging in" and "Logged in!"entries in my Frndly container log. They seem to be there once or twice each day. I haven't noticed any problems with recordings. I don't see any "504 Gateway time-out" errors in the DVR logs.

Those are all normal. If the container needs to interact with the FrndlyTV service, it has to login to do it.
Thanks. I thought that might be the case. But, wasn't quite sure
Hi all, I am trying to get this working again after a year of not using it. I updated to the latest docker. It produces the proper url sources but the m3u link comes up with Error: "Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"
I tried intentionally providing the wrong username and password in the docker and it still produces the same result. I get no error for invalid username or password. So it seems that its not trying to log in.
Any thoughts?
Check the FrndlyTV for Channels docker container log to see what it says.
