Frndly TV for Channels

just update the python files to the latest from the github and then restart it

if you had cloned the repo, then just do a git pull to pull in latest changes

Updating my Docker to latest got me WEST.

Thanks!

I swear my old age has gotten to me. 2 years ago I setup frndly using docker on my QNAP NAS. I killed the container and dropped the service after xmas of 23. I am now trying to get it working again and for the life of me I cant figure out where to find the spot to add my new username and password. The container is running on the NAS, I can get to the channel source #1 and #2 via web browser, but I cant figure out where to put in the creds. This is multiple hours of my head hitting a table! Can anyone with a NAS give a guy a helping hand? PLEASE?!?!?

Environment variable in your docker run statement or compose

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?

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.
