Frndly TV with Python on Windows without Docker: the easy way

Playground Custom Channels
#41

Hi,
I am getting this after running create_frndly_sources_in_channels.bat

There is a Channels DVR server running on this computer.
If this is the server you want to use, enter 127.0.0.1 for the IP address.

IP address of the Channels DVR server (without port number): 127.0.0.1
Port number of the Channels DVR server: 8089

Which Frndly TV plan are you subscribed to? (Basic, Classic, or Premium): classic
Please enter the channel number to start: 4000

Creating the first source on the server...
{"error":"failed to load m3u: Get "http://127.0.0.1:8183/playlist.m3u8?gracenote=include": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8183: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."}
Creating the second source on the server...
{"error":"failed to load m3u: Get "http://127.0.0.1:8183/playlist.m3u8?gracenote=exclude": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8183: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."}

Refresh the Sources page on the server to see the new Frndly TV sources.

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks for any help you can give me with this

Sincerely,
Michael

Hi @mhowell723. I am the author of this script.
Just to confirm, can you please let me know where you got the script from? I want to make sure you have the right version. :slight_smile:

  1. Download the latest Python installer from python.org.
  2. Run the installer and check the box that says "Add Python to PATH".
  3. Also, make sure to select "Add Python to environment variables" in the advanced options.
  4. Complete the installation.
  5. Restart your command prompt or terminal for the changes to take effect.
  6. Rerun install_frndly_for_channels_no_docker.bat
