HGTV no longer working

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#1

I have Youtube TV and HGTV has worked and now today it is not working. I rescanned and HGTV has disappeared from the channel list. The logs say

HGTV failed: 403 Forbidden: Access to the requested resource path has been forbidden: [Authorized Networks: None] [Authorized Products: None].

The other Discovery channels are working.

I went to HGTV.com, accessed Live TV and signed in using my Youtube id/pw. This worked. While the show was running, I rescanned. The scan still failed.

Any ideas to get HGTV back?

I'm having the same issue but with Fios as the TV Everywhere provider. The error for HGTV says Google Chrome must be installed in your /Applications Folder. I tried upgrading to the pre-release but that didn't work.

You need to install Chrome like it says

Thanks. Is that a new requirement that I missed? To my knowledge, I never had to do that before. Or maybe I didn't remember. Apologies.

Depends on what you run your Channels DVR server on.

Oh maybe I had been running it on docker before and then moved to Mac. That's probably it. Thanks so much!

That would explain it.

I’m currently having this issue on the official Channels Raspberry Pi server image.

I’ve also upgraded to pre-release but that didn’t resolve the issue.
