I pulled snippets of code from ustvnow and xumo mostly. Though I reviewed all that had source code available, then used anything as needed with additional code needed to pull from the fubo APIs

@joagomez do you think you can do the same thing for hulu tv and or tablo tv. Tablo tv is open source and have and available API

Curious if anyone has installed this on an ARM64 based platform? I'm trying to install on a Synology DS220J and I get an error when running the installs script saying it's trying to install an AMD64 version on the ARM64 platform and it errors out when you try and run it (It shows installed in Docker).
So have been succesful in installing in X64 versions of Synology, but ARM based versions I've not been able to. joagomez has been very helpful but we've hit a wall at this point. Posting the error message I get after the program starts and runs for a few minutes before exiting. Any insight from those much more tuned into programing language than I (it's a very low bar.....)

Got this setup and running in QNAP's Container Station on my TVS-h474 this morning (it has an Intel Pentium Gold G7400 chip). The hardest part was re-learning how to tell QNAP's Container Station to port forward. Would have been way easier, in retrospect, to literally just use the Docker command line to create it. Alas. 
I am noticing that the 4K channels don't work (they work, except all they show is "this content is available in 4K, but you can't show it" (or something like that).
I also had trouble mapping the main NBC station to guide data. It wanted to auto-map to "CREATE" and even after searching it took a bit to find just normal NBC. Alas, all good now, I think (though once I figure out which NBC affiliate it is pulling down, I might try to map directly to that... what have others done?).
Thanks for creating and evolving this! GREAT stuff.
I noticed the 4K stream issue as well. This appears to be because the way I pull the streams from the Fubo API is web based and that those streams can't show the 4K. I've tried different browsers but still have not found one to utilize a 4K stream.
As for the NBC and other affiliates, Fubo doesn't have a mapping between the two. I suppose I could try based on callsign but haven't worked on that yet. When I developed, it was me playing around so never really tried or worried about the affiliates other that the ones I received. However with more using it, may be something I look at in the future.

Since the NBC stuff is also removed from TVE guides (near as I can tell), I wound up putting in my zip code and selecting the local Xfinity guide data for my Fubo-VLC-Bridge Source. That gave me what I needed, and now I have the (correct for me) WBTS listing.
if anyone wants a discount on the first month of Fubo TV or even YTTV, please direct message.
I can hook you up you can't have been a customer before so make sure to use a new address an fubo is still letting people enjoy the 7 day trial.
Oh yeah if you want some of the sports stuff if you use the docker, you don't have to add the sports package.

Do you get Bally with the docker method or is it DRMed?
Bally Sports is not DRM.
If you want to save some cash during startup let me know i will drop a code to get you going.
The discount and trial are stackable.

Just confirming you mean that the non-sports upgrade still has sports channels available (like NFL Channel, just not redzone)?
