Fubo TV project

Playground Custom Channels
#253

So the issue is that it it is encountering a stream discontinuity as a result of those ads Fubo is placing.
This basically EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tags and indicates a complete reset of the stream, with a new stream following afterwards. This is something not handled well by streamlink unfortunately, so maybe looking at other alternatives.

EDIT: just looked at some other streams, while they have the EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY-SEQUENCE tag in the HLS, it appears Fubo isn't sending other ad streams, thus causing a reset of the stream. Guess this will need more investigation

#254

Sounds about right from here.
The HLS stream is rock solid.
The local channels that Fubo offers will play perfectly. in Streamlink.
I'm using the PBS docker and obvously becuase it is a continuious stream, it plays.

jThanks for all the good stuff here.

#256

Does this currently work with all channels in the Pro and Elite packages (including locals)?

Xfinity is increasing prices again, so I'm shopping around.

#257

Not ALL the channels (ie. DISNEY) because DRM but with TVE, most of those channels are already there with that anyways

#258

I'm on the elite package.
I'm watching all locals except for ABC through the docker. I can get ABC through TVE.
You won't have Showtime or any of the ABC owned disney channels.
If you want ESPN etc you have to use the App and if you have it setup, ADB Tuner.
I'm ggetting all setup and ready to go for upcoming baseballl season.
I like Fubo TV especially with this great docker.

#259

Thanks @Jean0987654321 @rpaulmerrell

It appears these are the Fubo DRM'd channels

According to Fubo, they're all (except Localish & Maximum Effort) available via TVE using Fubo as a Provider.

Can anyone using Fubo verify if it's true?
If so, those Fubo DRM channels will be added if I also add a Fubo TVE source.

#260

Originally when the docker project was first started, When you came across some of the DRM channels in the docker, it would fall back to the TVE channel if it is set in channels.
If you want to ssee the typical cable stuff, for now it is on TVE.
I use the docker conbined with TVE of course with Logo gone, one has to use the docker version.
I try to use the fubo docker first. if the channel isn't directly available, i will pull it up on TVE.
Once you get this setup, all should be good.

#261

This is correct, using TVE will get those channels of the mouse, minus Localish.

Doesn't work for me.
I signed up for a free Elite trial.
I can play any of my channels on their website.
I installed the docker and setup a custom channel.
I get the channels and guide data, but when trying to play any of them it just says remuxing (for HLS) or transcoding (for MPEG-TS) and nothing plays. Pausing and resuming doesn't help.
No errors in the DVR log or the docker log.
Tried both HLS and MPEG-TS playlists.
:person_shrugging:

I used a url from the HLS playlist and it works in VLC.
Same channel from the MPEG-TS playlist also works in VLC.
Using the VLC integration in Channels DVR I'm able to play a live channel in VLC.

Nothing plays in the web UI player.

#263

Hi there,
Not sure about the player UI but wondering what about when you use a client like apple TV etc?
I'm using Fubo right now on Channels and it is working great.

#264

For some reason the web UI player doesn't like my Firefox browser today.
Disabling extensions allows some channels to play, but not most of them.
The web UI player works in the MS EDGE browser.

So it looks like Fubo Elite and Fubo TVE are working for me. Now to the daunting task of lining up all 389 channels, eliminating dups and ensuring the guide data is correct. And a few recordings thrown in to make sure they work and playback.

The Elite trial is only 24 hrs.

#265

I know you are going to love the combo. If you have Philo or Yttv, they can easily be canceled.
I'm down to two channels for Philo.
Fubo has all kinds of stuff, especially with TVE. IFC may be a problem because someone had the bright idea of adding some sort of audio with graphics during commercials.
Best of luck. Loving the great entertainment.

#266

If it works out I'll dump my Xfinity Triple Play and just use Xfinity Internet.

#267

Need help.

Used:
docker run -d -e 'FUBO_USER=xxx@yyy.com' -e 'FUBO_PASS=' -p 7777:7777 --name vlc-bridge-fubo jgomez177/vlc-bridge-fubo

I get an error message saying "The system cannot find the file specified."

What am I doing wrong?

#268

Yes I did have a password.

#269

Additional info:
Using Windows 10 host
VLC Bridge PBS is working fine in Docker
Upgraded Docker to latest version.

Does your pbs VLC bridge use 7777:7777 if so you need to use different port for fubo

#271

Here is what you need to do if needing to just change the port.
docker run -d -e 'FUBO_USER=xxx@yyy.com' -e 'FUBO_PASS=' -p 7778:7777 --name vlc-bridge-fubo jgomez177/vlc-bridge-fubo
I've had to chhange ports on a couple of dockers when setting them up on my Synology.

#272

I just tried -p 7778:7777 and got the same error message.

In that the message is talking about not finding a file, it seems unlikely that the port is the problem.

#273

Probably your pass has a weird quote or character
