Thanks for the information. I currently have it trying every 2 seconds. I will test it at 1 second and up the retries to 20 and it would effectively take the same amount of time if it fails. If it works better I will update the code and push it out as version 0.0.11.
Thanks again for all your help, it is greatly appreciated!
New version 0.0.11 is available. It should now tune to the channel quicker after login. The login retries will happen much faster as I ran some tests and found that removing the delay altogether made the login work more quickly and in my worst test it took 21 attempts to login. I have set the max attempts at 25 for now as well so as not to spam the API too much.
Please let me know if anyone has any issues with the update once trying it out.

Just updated to the latest and now seem to be locked out of my Fubo.tv account.
Could be user error, but would caution others to be careful before upgrading to the latest. Too late to try and resolve now, I will tackle tomorrow.
@jator I'm sorry that happened. I messed around with the code for quite some time and had many failed login attempts in a short period of time. I would have thought if anyone were to have issues it would have been me. I also believed that in the past when I sent too many API calls too quickly they just made it so that I could not use the service for about 15 minutes. Hopefully that is the case for you. If not then I am truly sorry for having to make you deal with fubo support.
Do you happen to have the logs to see how many failed attempts it made before you received that error?
As a precaution based on what just occurred with jator, I have changed the code to reincorporate a delay and lowered the amount of attempts again. Please update to the new latest release, 0.0.12.
Actually I owe you an apology. I pulled up the logs and dug through and found invalid username/password error in their. Went in and realized I missed one of the special characters in my password.
I assumed based on me being rejected by the Fubo Login webpage after not being able to get the docker to login that it was too many attempts (which was true) but didn't consider the attempts was because of a fat finger mistake on my part.
UPDATE
Well, definitely user error last night. However, I uninstalled and reinstalled with correct password this morning (after I confirmed my account was back working via web portal). Installed the most recent updated version and I'm back to the same errors around being blocked (no username password error this time). And no, I don't use a VPN on my NAS.

Update 2
Still locked out of the account 4 hours later. Fortunately most of what I get is through TVE and that doesn't seem to be impacted at the moment. Will wait and see if they reset my lockout after work today, otherwise will have to reach out to them. I'm sure they will ask why did I have so many rapid login attempts. Anyone have a good explanation I can use (not sure I want to advertise that I am using a VLC bridge to pull channels into my DVR software as they will think I am possibly reselling channels, which I'm not smart enough to do even if I wanted to)?

I find the truth is the best policy. If they ask about it, they probably have a good idea what is happening.
Just spitballing here, but if it were me in a similar situation, and I was asked the question, this would be a truthful response, without being unnecessarily specific:
"I was tinkering with some code with ChatGPT to automate tuning into Fubo TV channels on my computer and when setting it all up I accidentally typed in the wrong password in the code so my program kept trying over and over again. I'm sorry about that, I've fixed my mistake, it won't happen again."
Used the online chat and as soon as I entered my e-mail they sent me a password reset without a second thought.
How do I tell what release I have?
Go to the container's webpage on your server. It'll be http://serverip:containerport
(so mine is at http://10.0.1.21:7776)
this is what is looks like, the version is mentioned at the top:
I just lost a bunch of Fubo TVE stations which include all of the ones I care about that did not come through the Docker system.
Is this just me, or are they lost forever?
Did you do any of these steps?
I tried everything. TVE is working fine with Fubo, but doing a channel scan produces a list that no longer contains a bunch of channels that used to be there. If everyone is in the same boat, I can go on to other options. However, if I'm the only one, I will spend more hours looking for a solution.
Some example of channels you lost would help to identify if it's just you or others.

Like @jator said, give us some examples.
Also, for the channels that are missing, if you go to manage lineup from sources and then at the top right of the lineup click scan, it will show you error messages if it can find the channel but is failing to log in. If you have any messages there let us know what the message is and the corresponding channel.
You aren't the only one. Channels like Freeform, FX, and FXX all disappeared from Fubo TVE.
Freeform, FX, FXX and FXM are all still available on my Fubo TVE. Not sure why either you don't still have access or I still do.

I was a huge supporter of Fubo for a long time…
Seeing how they began to roll out DRM last year, after trying to recreate the original container against their new api, I gave up. I went with DirecTV Stream.
WAF didn’t miss a beat.
