I think I figured out the issue with playback on the linear FOX channels

Is it possible that fox is using their own internal methods to watch videos on their websites, not the same URLs as channels and E+ are using in other words?

#70

It's the same URL, but what I discovered is that the schedule is returning an ID on some of the events ending with _dtc, which are missing when you attempt playback in the browser or Android TV. If you remove that when requesting the playback URL it seems to fix it.

Thanks a lot, please report that to the channel devs and maybe we can get fs 1 & 2 working again in channels.

Can someone who was experiencing issues try this latest pre-release and let us know if it improves the situation?

FS1 not working on FIOS

Looking good so far, updated to latest prerelease and did about half a dozen FS1 and 2 lives and all of them succeeded. This didn't happen before.

#75

I've tried them a few times since updating and all 3 worked every time here. Thanks

#76

Curious if what you changed is different than what I did for E+ :thinking:

It took a hot minute for FS1 to load and there were exceptions all over the logs, but eventually it came back. After that, it and the rest of the Fox Sports stations came back at their regular speed.

And for some reason, it keeps playing the last few seconds of a commercial every time the station is launched.
