The only thing keeping Channels DVR above water for me is the community contribution of the Dockers ... my fear is that these Dockers will go away, or the developers move on and Channels DVR becomes just a plain old DVR.... for OTA.... which there are many.
I don't see the dockers going away.
People like flexibility.
I am talking about Dockers like Fubo Friendly etc ... that is supported by the community. For many members in this Community this has become sort of a hobby and sharpening coding skills. I have been in situations where Community members move on and their projects just die.
The dockers will su\be online as long as DRM isn't part of the stream.

After working great for two years, my Frndly TV now shows zero channels in channelsdvr. Anybody else having this issue? Any suggestions to fix it?

Working here
Did your FrndlyTV subscription expire
Check the container log
Restart the container
Check your ip in the frndly source?
Can friendly be used as a source using the pc client version?
I don’t see it in dropdown but pears that list can be updated?
As long as you have a Frndly account you can use the custom channels tool that is the OP of this thread. Instructions can be found at Frndly TV for Channels or in the first post here or dozens more times through this very long thread. I believe it can also be added through OliveTin for Channels: An Interface for Misc Channels DVR Scripts & Tricks.
Thank you!
Head's up. The Weather Channel on FRNDLY has been acting up today.
It plays fine through the TWC's own app, and YTTV. But, not on FRNDLY's app or website.
Changed my password today and now I can't seem to get the FrndlyTV docker working again. I stopped and deleted the container. Recreated with the right username and password but to no avail:
Error: Failed to get response from url: https://frndlytv-api.revlet.net/service/api/v1/tvguide/channels?skip_tabs=0
Did you create the container using Portainer?
Check the environment variables inside the container to make sure the username and password are correct inside the container.
In portainer, click on the container name and scroll down to 
> ENV
I did not use Portainer.

If you have Portainer running on the same device you can still inspect the container
You can also exec into the container and run the command env

Apparently the issue is special characters in the password.... I removed $ and ! and it worked.
Notice recently that my Frndly channels (not all, ION plus for example) quit providing
CC, but I could still receive CC if I log in directly into the app. Using the Docker method with channels. Any advice, thanks.
