Hi

The epg doesnt work for Pluto. ?

What am I doing wrong?

Your source has been deleted?
https://i.mjh.nz/Plex/

[Richard_smith]

Didn't work either. I was able to add some of the world ones. All the ones on the top page must be out dated. Just trying to get T2

the docker version is working

[Richard_smith]

Too advanced for me. I installed an old Docker version on my Western Digital NAS, but I have no idea what to do with it.

It can't work because it was deleted. That was my initial point. IIRC the guy who manages that site got takedown notices under the DMCA.

[Richard_smith]

Ok. Thanks. I'm sure it's under the US global one, but there is over 1700 channels and the limit is 750.

The file your Plex Source points to was us.m3u8 (see pic below)

It doesn't exist anymore. It appears all the m3u8 playlists there have been deleted, likely a DMCA takedown.

That's why it doesn't work anymore.

[Richard_smith]

hopefully someone can break this into separate playlists or channels can allow more than 750 channels this has over 1800

For that task, PLM is your friend:

[RELEASE] Playlist Manager for Channels [Streaming Library Manager Extension]

There are a lot of fantastic methods for integrating custom stations into Channels DVR, especially from FAST and similar providers like Pluto, Plex, Tubi, Samsung TV+, ESPN+, NFL+, and plenty more! The problem is, they require a fair bit of maintenance. For instance, there are whole threads and tools dedicated just to keeping track of which stations have been added and removed. And that doesn't even get into the redundancy of when each of these services have the same stations, but you have to de…

There’s also a service called m3u4u.com that lots of folks use for this sort of thing but my experience with that was terrible.
