Did you run the other batch file first?

Please show the first window (without showing your credentials)

#64

How do I remove my credentials?

#65

Just take a screenshot of the window starting below your credentials.

You can use Windows' snipping tool.

It doesn't look like you ran the new version that I uploaded.

Give me 5 minutes. I will make another update.

#68

I went all the way to the top of the post and downloaded them. Was that correct?

#69

Yes.

I just uploaded a new version of install_frndly_for_channels_no_docker.bat.

Please redownload and rerun.

Great news, that worked! Awesome
Do I have to keep the install bat file running all the time?

Yes, the first window where you ran install_frndly_for_channels_no_docker.bat must be running 24/7.

You can close the other window because now you have the sources on the server. That only needs to be done once.

Enjoy frndly TV in Channels DVR! :grinning:

Thanks and thank you very much for all of your help and patience with me.
You did a great job and I really appreciate your steady response to me through out this whole process.
By the way I don't know your name, can you share your first name?

Thanks again, you are the best!
