Introducing PrismCast: Browser-based Live TV Capture for Channels DVR and Plex

Playground Hacks

I noticed there are missing channels, specifically from YouTubeTV - 'Adult Swim' & 'Nickelodeon'.

I've tried to add channels manually and the server side chrome webpage opens and plays, but the ChannelsDVR side view and record do not. While waiting, the PrismCast server side opens and closes a few times and plays each time fine, then eventually just closes and stops trying. (PrismCast is on a different Windows 10 machine)

All the other pre-found YTTV channels work fine.

what should I enter for the manual selection at:
channel key: nickelodeon
display name: Nickelodeon
stream url: ?????? ( tried this --- https://tv.youtube.com/watch/-1-V0jhsLv0 )
profile: autodetect

Doesn't Add channel work?

Go to the Channels tab
Manage Channels > Add channel
Select Service: YouTube TV
Channel Key: nickelodeon
Display Name: Nickelodeon
Stream URL: should auto populate with https://tv.youtube.com/live
Profile: Autodetect
Channel Selector: start keying in Nickelodeon and select it from the dropdown

These exact steps were unclear to me or I missed where it was explained.

This worked to add 'Nickelodeon' channel... but did not work for 'Adult Swim' channel. The "channel selector:" box does not contain the adult swim in it's dropdown box. it is on the YTTV live page listings. (maybe because it has a space in the name)

channel key: adultswim
display name: Adult Swim

For Adult Swim you probably have to wait until it's airing something to get the selector.

Just checked here and it says the channel starts airing at 5pm my time, which is when the Cartoon Network goes off air. I'll check mine again after 5pm.

UPDATE: Yep, once Adult Swim starts airing, it's available to add as a channel. If you have YouTube TV selected for Channel Lineup Precaching and have YouTube TV in the channels Filter it should work for you.

If you don't see Adult Swim in the channel selector dropdown

Force it to rescan the YTTV channels using the API
