The custom player seems to be a sticking point for a few feature requests. Obviously there is another elephant in the room when it comes to DRM, but live TV playback seems to work fine when you export the m3u and use it elsewhere. Perhaps the ability to use a different player should be a feature request, so many people can get basic features working like chromecast at the expense of whatever else the custom player does. Perhaps virtual channels?
My point here is that playing anything that is DRMed is a challenge. Not only does there need to be a player of some sort that can feed the decrypted stream to Channels, the key also needs to be known for decryption, in addition to the dash URL. Of those three, I have one. I cannot confirm anything I have found effectively plays the DASH MPD file as I do not have the key for decryption.
I would search the web for drm scripts or drmstuff. I think there is a ton of information there that could help with drm playability.
Again, does no good without the ability to obtain the license/key for decryption.
DRM was not my focus for this project and beyond me at this point.
Between the use of the docker and ADBTuner along with a good Android box and hDMI encoder, most of the content from Fubo can be brought in.
I appreciate what can be brought in with the docker. Vlc-bridge does a great job.
Those of you using this Fubo TV solution... what solution did you choose for the networks Fubo doesn't have like A&E/Lifetime/History etc? Did you just pick up a separate sub to FrndlyTV?
Probably speaks volumes about my viewing habits, but those aren't on my radar.....
I don't watch a ton of shows on them (especially Lifetime) but they would be missed if gone. Also, does the Fubo stream limit matter when using this solution?
can a youtube tv vlc bridge be created?

depends on your package, but i’ve have 5 concurrent going through the container.
i also have frndly… was hard to turn down that annual option.
hls tube
History and Lifetime come in through TVE with Fubo, but I also have Frndly for A&E
The TVE stuff for those channels is quite easily available including A&E plus lifetime etc.
I have 156 channels under TVE on Fubotv.
Nice lineup if you have it all lined out nice.

This is no longer being developed, and was for live-stream videos on regular the YouTube service (www.youtube.com) anyway. It does not, and never, did work on the live TV channels on the YouTube TV subscription service that is at tv.youtube.com.
Does TVE also include the Turner networks? (TBS, TNT, etc)? I see those are missing from the lineup.

FuboTV I don't think offers access to those channels, so would not be available either through TVE or through the VLC bridge. YTTV & HULU TV does offer TVE access to both of those channels

Thanks, I was just asking since someone mentioned that A&E TVE works with Fubo even though that's not in the lineup either.
Hi there,
No Turner channels but most of the other stuff including AMC networks and disney plus ESPN and lifetime even Logo is available on Fubo.

correct... maybe you could create a container for that... search the web for youtubetv scripts or youtube tv stuff. I think there's a ton of information there that could help with youtubetv playability.
i had a script that was great until they change things up.
