Thank you! The new channel is working for me.
I just reloaded the M3U (I use Python)…but I just went to the server and went to the FRNDLY source and right clicked on it and reloaded m3u and the moviesphere channel shows up automatically. I posted several days ago about the new WEST channel and it never comes up…who does what to get the channels to come up automatically just by refreshing the M3U? Whoever does whatever…can they do that for the WEST channel too please? Pretty Please?

Should already be there.
Reload M3U and then Redownload guide data.
The new WEST channel is in my FRNDLY1 or main FRNDLY source. Using python.
Like deb said, it's included in Source 1
you probably need to update the code to get WEST channel...

I just went to get a trial of Frndly to test and it looks like Black Friday this year is 3 months of the top tier for $0.99/month.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have recently noticed FriendlyTv is now listed as a Tv Provider that can be used to "Unlock All Episodes" within the Android applications for the History Channel, Lifetime, Uptv, A&E, etc. I am thinking about trying the python method of importing Frndly, but I am wondering if TV everywhere is now an option. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't see why not. Its up to the devs tho to add it as a provider. Make a new feature request thread and maybe they'll notice

It seems that Hallmark is no longer working through the Frndly tool. All of my other channels with the Frndly source work fine. Did they switch to some sort of DRM? Any workarounds?
I just checked now and it's working fine for me.

The Hallmark Channels have an occasional history of being a little quirky in Frndly. If you wait a few hours to a couple of days they should pop back up. Seems to happen once or twice a year.
Getting unauthorized access on username (email) and password on latest docker and python. Paid Frndly Service.
Guess there isnt enough information to help troubleshoot. I currently use the docker version with no issues. I would assume its your login credentials that is the issue?
There's been another thread where I posted my error message. Hallmark hasn't worked in quite a while for me and some other users.
I just tried Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery. Both came up when using Apple TV and the Chrome browser.
