Hallmark on Philo TVE: Could not fetch playlist from crownmediaingest.akamaized.net 404 Not Found

Channels DVR Server
#1

Running into this issue with trying to stream Hallmark. Worked a couple of weeks ago. Client doesn't seem to matter.

I've updated the DVR server, make sure my Linux server is up to date, did the troubleshooting steps through the DVR to confirm no Chrome errors. I've signed into Philo to confirm login is working. Even removed the source and added it back to Channels Server, again logging into confirm. Everything seems to be working but Hallmark.

Question: Is it normal to have the channel appear when the TVE provider is scanned, but then get a 404 when trying to stream? Or is Hallmark just done for and I should remove from the list?

Any other suggestions would be super helpful.

Thanks

Just referencing here a couple of related threads. I am now using the Frndly TV for Channels approach from mathuisman to stream the Hallmark Channels. I have been using this solution for a while to stream the GAC channels so it was an easy update on my end. just adding that I too was using Philo to stream Hallmark through Channels but haven't been able to since March.

Other thread I responded onto confirming my current workaround: Hallmark TV app going away 3/31/26 - end of access via TVE? - #7 by Kryptonyte

Thread w/ matthuisman indicating Frndly may be going to DRM as well at some point: Hallmark not working in Frndly
