The issue I have is that Chrome is installed but won't start up. It complains about x server not starting. It is installed (and xvfb) but I can't get them to start.
I have Googled the issue but none of the recommended solutions have worked for me.
I had that problem running Channels DVR TVE in a docker container all the time.
I gave up using docker for Channels DVR TVE
I have heard about that one too. I don't run in docker or use docker at all.
I am doing some more research now since you reminded me that I was having this issue. I hope I can find something that will work.
What are you running Channels DVR Server on?
I have the Beelink Mini S Intel 11th Gen 4-Cores N5095 device with Ubuntu Server on there.
Everything was working fine at some point because I was able to get all the TVE channels to be scanned and working when I first set everything up, Although FOX never was scanned properly. It works via the website directly though so I know it's available to me from my Spectrum account.

I had to remove snapd ....
I did that too. I then installed Google Chrome directly. It's installed, it just won't start because of this error:
[1847:1847:1109/165448.265060:ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(239)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
[1847:1847:1109/165448.266264:ERROR:env.cc(255)] The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.
However, I do have that installed, it just acts like it's not there.

I think i uninstalled Chromium after and then re-installed via directions on the channels docs.

yeah, installing the latest pre-release did not work for me either unfortunately. It doesn't even seem to try scan for local Fox channel. I am now getting a failed: context deadline exceeded for BTN and Desportes

I am not sure when it happened, but I noticed today that the TVE version of my local FOX channel is now there. I didn't manually scan it, just noticed it randomly. I have been updating to each beta DVR update, so something changed.

I just lost FOX using TVE.....I am running 2023.01.11.0120
I checked my logs and around 1/1 I was watching FOX without error....
I'm running 2023.01.14.0039 and still not FOX via TVE. I have DirecTVnow and when I rescan it doesn't even scan FOX anymore
For locals, you need to toggle the experimental Local Networks via TV Everywhere option checkbox About TV Everywhere to rescan then
Open your Channels DVR web admin UI in a browser using Secure HTTPS.
Toggle [ ] Local Networks via TV Everywhere off, then on.
Your browser should ask you to allow location service and then it will scan your locals.
May take a few minutes, You'll see a spinner as it scans them.

@mcouture follow the steps @chDVRuser laid out. I will add that rescanning during prime time tends to have higher success rates. Particularly for FOX.

Ah yes! toggling the local networks via TV Everywhere did the trick. Thanks!

Didn’t work for me unfortunately
If you are not in a Fox Corp owned market make sure you toggle local TVE during prime time or when national broadcast are scheduled.
