Of course not. They aren't broadcasting the network channels. I'm sure the sub-channels would love free exposure.
They just added my city.

When did they add Tampa?
edit...channel selection is poor in Tampa. NY/NJ much better.
Hi there,
The channels developers would need access to the API. They could set things up to allow one to log in on channels with login and go from there.
The system would have to follow the availability rules.
Here's hoping for the new year.

I was using a URL for LocalBTV NYC for a while and noticed this morning on my server 0 channels in this source.
The URL was from GitHub and apparently it was taken down. It was good while it lasted.
Did you do it as a text file?
NVM. You're right. They no longer work.
The links to the streams still work. For future reference, if you are going to use a direct link instead of a text file, always make sure to store a copy of the download m3u somewhere.

I have mine saved on M3U4U but they no longer working.
I have my LocalBTV Custom Channel set up to never refresh URL and it is currently showing 49 channels. These channels are working (for now). Is there a way I can download this setup so I can preserve it as a text file for future use?
Copy/paste text from link to text file, source from that new text?

You can find the m3u file in c:\programdata\channelsdvr\data
Cool, thanks. And where is it on a Mac?

Thank you! I don't see any m3u files in this directory. What file name or file type should i be looking for?
Hm maybe I'm confused and was thinking of xmltv files
Can someone post a download link for the m3u file? I searched my Shield but could not find the file.
just an FYI, the docker log in page will direct you to activate as if you were activating a tv.
after activation, refreshes the playlist page to get the elink for channels.
The streams work but you will need to map the channels based on what is available in your location.
The channel stopped playing after about two hours but I'm unsure.
I'm unsure if that is a timer thing but the docker does work.
The docker doesn't bypass the use of your registration details.
sorry slow for me upload code, i start today
