Everything seems to be working except two channels guide data not pulling into the guide. Dove Channel and Curiosity Stream. Is there a way to create a xml file to put in the source settings. The site shows data in their guide lineup. The Dove Channel from Frndly is not the same as the Dove Channel from the TVE Source.
You are lucky that you are missing the guide data for only 2 channels.
I'm missing the guide data for ALL Frndly TV channels now. 20 minutes ago, I even did "Delete and Recreate Database" in the settings but that didn't help.
Now I see why: the channels are not mapped to existing channels.
--- Update (30 minutes later)
After:
- removing the Frndly TV source in Channels
- removing the Docker container
- installing the latest Docker container from scratch (did it yesterday already but wanted to really start fresh today)
- installing the source back in Channels
- refreshing the M3U in the source
- redownloading the guide data in Channels
It's all good now! 
Just like @kennyb3653, I don't have guide data for Curiosity and Dove.
For Curiosity, it's nothing new for me, I never got it to work.
Thank you. I did it but that didn't help with Curiosity and Dove. The rest is fine.
Not a big deal but some logos are missing for me (just a display issue, the guide is fine). Also, why is there "59" in front of the HISTORY logo?
Some logos appear missing but are white and don't show in the listing.
Have an extention in my browser to set background colors on certain parts of Channels settings, viewing shows the white logo.
I think Dove and Curiosity are not actual Live Streams from the networks but, a live stream of videos, the m3u files show no "tvc-guide-stationid="XXXXX" for these channels. Yule Log" same thing but of course there's no need for guide info for that one.

just added the epg id for Dove
If you refresh playlist - it should grab it
From now on (with latest container) - all new channels are added automatically.
But I still manually need to add the gracenote EPG ids to my online file that the container uses.
Its the right ID for Dove Channel but Its not whats on thier Guide online. This channel on Frndly is not the same stream thats on TVE. I think this stream from frndly is streaming videos from their library. Like Channels DVR as a live channel collection. There are no ads or breaks on this channel.
From Frndly Guide
From Channels DVR guide after inputing station-ID
right, think ill remove the id then.
same issue with curiosity
gracenote dont have epg data for them
are any other epg wrong?
Wasnt there an issue with Local now?
Could you check LMN lines up?
Looks like all the other channel data is correct. I was experiencing some freeze ups on Local Now this morning but appears to have cleared up. I'll keep you informed when they add Military History. I don't see any date when this starts.
the container doesnt do anything in regards to playback.
it simply gives Channels the url to play
"long pauses between items in their playlist."
what does that mean?
Something must have changed overnight. Seems the docker container is not functioning properly. I have included log where I was slecting a channel to watch with a 500 Internal Server Error. I have deleted the docker container, docker image, and started all over with the same results.
PS I can retrieve the playlist but no streaming. So my docker is not blocking the port.

I concure. May I ask what happened. My recordings that ended at 3am did record with no issues, so the problem happened sometime after that time.

the new method I used to find the channel paths stopped working (frndly stopped returning it)
So, I've gone back to supplying it via the external file.
I've also automated this external file to check for new channels every hour.
For channels not found in this external file, there is now a backup method that tries to generate the url itself. It does rely on the docker containers time being correct though. Majority of the time it is.
So, if a new channel pops up, the playlist will use backup method until 1 hour later and the external file has the path it needs.

Thanks for being so fast. Back up and running. And thanks for the work you have done on this excellent "add-on" to Channels. I'm not sure what else to call it.
