Thanks

And

The techzyon links are known to have issues. They are shared playlists that only support a limited number of concurrent users/streams. This means that any arbitrary channel may disconnect when so other user across the globe decides to access the same stream.
The OCI/Docker image that @maddox has provided alleviates this issue for those wishing to use Pluto; an intrepid user could also use his work as a basis for adding similar services (like Stirr) that are not subject to the same limitations as the techzyon playlists.
In short: if you want quality feeds that won't fail at the drop of a hat, pay for reputable services—preferably those supported by Channels. Otherwise, you get what you pay for …
Than ask for the additional information.
I have been using those links with almost no issues for quite some time..including today until the update... no zero channels (down from 260/ 115 respectively )..... while I understand, and thanks for additional information, I believe this is more related to update than loss of stream other side.....aka simple to prove if there is a way to roll backwards to previous version.. then if links work again...we would know....
Do appreciate a Sunday night reply just the same...
If you feel the issue is a DVR server update, you can revert to a previous version. Just manually change the channels-dvr/latest link to point to the version you wish to revert to.
However, to claim without evidence that an update broke your feeds is a bit of a stretch. The forum—and other internet sources—have myriad posts from users attesting to the intermittent quality of the techzyon playlists.
As always, more information and details are always appreciated, because the lack of information does nothing more than foment WAGs.
It did it again?
Updated beta release and all channels gone from techzyon....
Rather odd... just show zero channels...
Using another stream I get 274 but the guide doesn’t show what’s on just the title of channel all the way across...
I had that happen often when I first started with custom channels and Pluto, using those shared links. And everyone explained why. Made sense to me. Then I switched to the Docker method instead, and it never happened again.
Those particular playlists are known to be problematic due to their shared nature. Their usage is wholly discouraged.
