I'm struggling installing FruitDeepLinks on my Synology NAS. For those that have successfully installed it, can you help me out?
I'm trying to create a Stack like KineticMan indicates in Portainer. I add the Repository URL and ENV variables, but when I go to deploy I get:
I'm definitely doing something wrong. If you successfully installed on a Synology, send me a note!
It looks like you're trying to use a local build stack. You want a Docker Compose that'll pull the pre-built image for you:

@KineticMan Question for you, I know you said as part of the daily refresh, stale events are supposed to be purged from the database. Just wondering, what constitutes a stale event? I still have events in my database back to February 6th, which was around the last time I tested the Wipe Events function. Should those older events have been purged as part of the daily refresh?
I see the following in the log, but I'm not sure how to interpret this whether it is actually deleting old events successfully or not.
[db-maint] fruit_events.db: size=46956544 journal=delete pages=11464 freelist=0 ratio=0.00
Realized I posted this over in the Prismcast thread not in FDL:
It's supposed to delete events older than 2 days. Looks like I've got a bug in the cleanup portion. thanks - i'll dig into it.
sure. Jean asked me too.
what you guys thinking? have one m3u (like direct/lanes) that also exports that format for ALL enabled services? or have it configurable by service like ADB outputs?
either option easy to add
It could be one M3U, but we need to make sure that every streaming service is recognized by PrismCast. In other words, each service FDL supports needs to have a known working PrismCast Profile and that Profile needs to be registered in the PrismCast code.
I can take care of the PRs to handle that registration, but FDL users need to figure the correct Profiles. When PrismCast gets redirected to an event by FDL, it needs to recognize that site and use the correct Profile.
I'm only using Peacock, Max, and ESPN FDL service filters. So modifying the multisourcelanes_chome.3mu to use the prismcast "/play" endpoint without adding FDL "channels" into prismcast worked easily. No need to add each lane into prismcast for it to work. Maybe my use case is simpler than others...
do you see a need for another ENV Variable for the Streamcast server IP/Port? similar to the CC4C / AH4C env variable
and just so i'm following completly what you guys want.
current export:
chrome://cc_server:8080/stream?url={encoded}
http://ch4c_server:8080/stream?url={encoded}
prismcast proposed output:
http://pcast_server:5589/play?url={encoded}
That part actually makes no difference. Whether you use the /play endpoint, or add them to PrismCast -- the issues are the same. The streaming site that FDL redirects PrismCast to needs to be recognized by PrismCast. The three services you're using already fall into that category, but others supported by FDL are not yet supported "natively" by PrismCast.
This one, but don't URL encode -- it's not needed, and makes it less readable.
Just to emphasize though, anyone using streaming sites not known to PrismCast will experience failures on those sites at this point. We need FDL users to determine which PrismCast Profiles are needed for each streaming service.
Yes.
Got it installed. I was able to pull the container within Portainer from the image link.
Now I need to tinker to figure out how to use it.
I have a direc m3u and xml files imported into Channels DVR as streamlinks, but I have no idea how to use them.
as expected?

[11/13] Exporting Virtual Lanes

[OK] Step 11 complete
M3U would tie into multisource_lanes.xml
Looks good!
Update pushed:
PrismCast output added. Just add to your environment variables PCAST_SERVER and PCAST_PORT and new M3U will be exported during refresh. Multisource_lanes_prismcast.m3u will share the same XML multisource_lanes.xml
Fixed importers to stop importing events older than 2> days. Some APIs return old events for some reason.
Misc bug fixes (admin page locking up with large logs, improved Amazon scraper)
Added experimental support for NESN.
Still need feedback on experimental scrapers - Victory+, Fanatiz, beIN Sports, and Gotham. If anyone subscribes to any of those services and interested, shoot me a note.
Pulled latest update, did a full refresh and perhaps the Amazon part may be broken again? On the filters page, it is back to showing the majority of the events under "Amazon - Unknown".
I don't see any errors in the step in the log, everything seems ok there:
aiv_aggregator 713 playables
aiv_nba_league_pass 279 playables
aiv_prime 160 playables
aiv_tennis_channel 122 playables
aiv_vix_premium 30 playables
aiv_peacock 26 playables

aiv_fox_one 19 playables
aiv_fanduel 12 playables
aiv_amazon_error 7 playables
aiv_max 5 playables
aiv_vix 1 playables
================================================================================
MIGRATION COMPLETE
================================================================================
[OK] Step 7e-migrate complete
well, thats odd... not exactly sure what is causing that.
do you mind doing a "Wipe" from Admin page, then doing a full scrape again and see if anything changes?
Getting the following error when pulling to update:
