Might have been too many failures on the Fubo server end or an issue with my windows docker desktop. I updated the docker desktop to the latest release then let it rest for 2+ hours and before playing a fubodocker channel. It failed after 20 attempts but didn't force stop the container this time. Then worked succesfully on the 4th attempt when I pressed play again on the client. Changing channels is instant for now...
According to what i have seen online, Fubo had an outage this morning.
Service seems to be normal as of 9:44AM Pacific time.

It appears that the issue that we had of logins taking multiple attempts that was fixed by adding logic to attempt multiple logins seems to have been fixed on Fubo's end. For a while now it has been logging in on the first attempt, like it used to before any fixes were applied.

Is ESPN 4K encrypted? Unsure if its the project or its excluded because it is
EsPN 4k is encrypted.
the HLS channels still work. They just reminded users that have older apps and devices to upgrade. I expect they will eventually add DRM to all channels.
All ABC/ESPN channels have been encrypted for quite some time.

Just checking in with anyone still actively using this project does it still actively pull in most channels? Now the TVE is shrinking looking for easy alternatives.
Channels that are in the clear can still be gotten through the Fubo TV project.
The channels with DRM of course are not available.
depends on the package you choose.
All disnety stuff including ESPN are DRM protected.
Just wondering if anyone is interested in having the option of guide data from an xml instead of GraceNote. Let me know what your thoughts are on it.
Some details:
This would enable all channels to have data and not have the few stations that cannot be mapped just show the filler data that Channels uses. I do not really feel like splitting up the m3u to GraceNote and non-GraceNote as the channel lineup changes periodically, so it would be all GraceNote or all XML data, your choice.
It currently would not have categories or show live, new, rerun information for episodes, but would have the basic guide data for all the channels. I have tested and can get 3 days worth of data. Do not know if I can grab more than that.
I guess no one cares about this, but I got bored, so here it is - the update no one asked for:
V0.0.18 is out
Changelog:
-
Moved DRM Channels to fubo-blacklist-default.txt, which will create a fubo-blacklist.txt file in your Config folder, much like the fubo-gracenote-default.json and fubo-gracenote.json work right now.
-
If the DRM blacklist is updated, your fubo-blacklist.txt file in the Config folder will not be updated unless you delete it and restart the container. The fubo-blacklist.txt file in the Config folder is persistent so that the users can add their own channels to it, restart the container and the guide data will block any new channels added.
-
Added the ability to generate it's own EPG. It has 7 days of data and most items are categorized and have their flags for reruns, new, or live updated correctly. Some will not have this, but most will.
-
EPG data is OFF BY DEFAULT. If you want to turn it on, go to the homepage of the container (http://localhost:7777 or whatever IP:Port you are running it on and you can toggle it on and set a schedule for how often it checks for guide data. The default is off, but when on defaults to 24 hours). Once you turn it on, it will save your choices and be persistent across container restarts and updates. This information is also saved in a file in the /Config folder.
-
New Landing Page. Updated the look and feel of the landing page and added the EPG xml link, the EPG settings and the console log output. This was taken out of the pywsgi.py file and made as it's own index.html.
I know that FASTChannels now has Fubo integration, but I wanted to keep this project alive as well as a simpler alternative for those that do not want as many options as FASTChannels provides.
I hope that everyone that still uses this likes the updates. If it has any issues or you have any suggestions please let me know.
