Fubo TV project

Playground Custom Channels
,
#457

I just found this project and loved the idea as a very happy Fubo customer. I deployed it in Portainer with the following compose file:

version: "3.9"
services:
fubotvpr:
image: jgomez177/vlc-bridge-fubo
hostname: vlc-bridge-fubo
container_name: vlc-bridge-fubo
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /home/user/fubotvproject:/app/Config
ports:
- 7777:7777
environment:
- FUBO_USER='USER'
- FUBO_PASS='PASSWORD'

The deployment worked fine and the logs just say:

⇨ http server started on [::]:7777

I was under the impression the logs would list all the available channels in our package.

It seems it logs OK but pulls nothing. When I try to curl the M3U file I get nothing either.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Here's a full list of docker-composes suitable for use with Portainer-Stacks. Much better to use one that's already tested: :slight_smile:

EDIT: What do you see in your browser at http://<yourdockerhost>:7777?

The log won’t list the channels. Simply review the playlist for available channels

Thank you. Certainly better than coming up with a new one, but I have not seen any obvious discrepancies from what I wrote. In any case, I tried with their script and same result.

Here is the result of curl -o - http://localhost:7777

Fubo Playlist ul{ margin-bottom: 10px; }

Fubo Playlist v1.16

Ao it seems to assume the two M3U lists are there but when I try:

curl -o - http://localhost:7777/fubo/playlist-mpeg.m3u or
curl -o - http://localhost:7777/fubo/playlist-hls.m3u

I got the same reply:

HTTP failure 400: {"error":{"code":"INVALID_REQUEST","message":"username must be in a valid email format","lc_message":"Something went wrong, please try again later"}}

My mistake was that I had quotes around the values of FUBO_USER and FUBO_PASS in the compose file. I now get the lists. Thank you.

I found the mistake, thank you!

#462

The collection of docker-compose files I created is designed to reduce/eliminate the need to modify the yaml at all. All variables should be put in the environment variables section of your Portainer-Stack, where quotes are not needed or desired.

I see that FUBOTV price is now close to $100 was going to recommend it to a Senior but way too pricy, My Cable Plan is Cheaper ... Charging for regional sports now.

If you can get cable for under $100, you are very lucky. In Massachusetts, the cheapest package you can get with only 1 TV and minimal recording is around $150, and most people pay around $200 with no premium channels.

#466

Do you rent boxes ... I got rid of all my boxes and use my Firesticks ,,, to watch Cable and record to the cloud. There are many ways to cut your Cable bill.

#467

The minimum Verizon plan comes with one box. In my area, you really can't get under $150, and you only get that by giving up a lot of channels you may want to occasionally watch. It does include their slowest internet, for which I pay $40 per month.

Even with streaming instead of cable boxes (add $20), a decent selection of cable channels (with no premium channels) plus fees and taxes will run $183, and that is the price only for new customers. After the initial period, the price goes to $203.

I'm having a problem with Closed Captions on the Fubo VCL Bridge.

All the channels seem to work fine except two of them. Food Network and Travel Channel do not have CC when run through the VCL Bridge, but all of the other channels do have CC.

I also get CC on Food and Travel when I go through TVE.

What makes these 2 channels special?

#469

Nothing makes these channels "special." The container simply provides what is shown in any web browser. When I went to fubo.tv in a web browser and went to Food Network it showed that "subtitles are not available." The next time after going back later subtitles were available, thus appears to be something on their side.

Keep in mind the stream from the docker comes from Fubo, while the TVE feed comes from discovery.com, so different feeds with different streams

Thanks for the explanation. I just checked, and the captions are back.

Was there a update on fubo? I can't seem to get it to stream but when I login to site it works.

#472

Working as expected here.

#473

The docker is working perfectly with the service.
Just replaced my Synology drives and fixed up my network configuration. Much nicer!!!

Message generated by watchtower overnight, has this project died?

It looks like @joagomez's repository is gone from Docker. I wonder if Fubo issued a C&D or takedown notice?
