just pushed 1.3.1. this fixes the caching issue with 1.3.0 and also fixes the suspended game bug from the other day (and weather delayed games still work).
what i'm working on right now and hope to have ready for tomorrow: free game of the day. the EPG will mark which game each day is available for free (always at least one, but sometimes more than one)...and you'll be able to watch those games with a valid mlb login (even if you don't have a mlb tv subscription). i won't know for sure that this works until tomorrow so i can test it with tomorrow's free game (angels/twins), but i think it should.
what i'm working on for some time this week hopefully: big inning feed. still no promises on this one, but i think i'm pretty close. the issue is that it's not live again until monday, so i can't test anything until then...

you can reproduce it if you go to the my.channelsdvr.net url since that will send you to your server with their ssl cert.
if you go to your server locally without https, lets say by ip, you will see the issue.
just pushed 1.4.0, which includes the free game changes. if you have valid mlb login credentials but no active mlb tv subscription, you can still now use this to watch whatever is the free game of the day (which will be indicated in the guide).
if you do not have a valid mlb tv subscription, any games you try to access other than the free game of the day will show a message on screen that you are not entitled to view the stream.
i have updated the first post in this thread to reflect this.
ugh. looks like i broke doubleheaders...game 2 of mets/braves isn't working. trying to get this fixed ASAP.
edit 1: found the issue, fix coming shortly.
edit 2: just pushed 1.4.2 which will fix this issue.

to be completely honest, no, because i don't know how much longer i'm going to be a channels user. i'm having major problems with locast, which is the primary reason i use it...if i can't get them resolved, i may have to start looking for another solution.
i'm hopeful because the devs are very responsive, but i need to get that resolved first before i put any more work into this container.
Yeah I was reading that yesterday, hopefully they can get it sorted for you. There is another docker container locast2tuner which you may have some luck with, it loads your Locast channels as a custom m3u and works quite well.
Thanks for your work on the MLB project, it’s the reason iv started using channels full time
I use https://github.com/wouterdebie/locast2tuner similar to Elliot.
Locast had some under the hood changes this week which also broke locast2tune... all is well now though.
TVE and the community are great.

i saw that, but i'm not familiar enough with rust to do a rewrite on that. i need to be able to change any instance of hls.locastnet with lax.locastnet in order for it to work...
that being said, if you'd like to help with that it'd be much appreciated...but please go to my other thread if you have any suggestions. i don't want to clutter the mlb thread...was just letting everyone know why i hadn't gotten much done on this lately.

Unable to get guide data, schedules to display.
In the process upgraded to channels-baseball 1.4.3, no changes from behavior of 1.2.2
Docker image is running, if I go to [ipaddr]:8080 I see the playlist and epg, both appear correct. (right dates, teams) Looking at the guide in the web admin console shows the channel numbers with correct teams, then long empty guide data bars., no information. Same for Channels client on Android TV.
If I look up a came on MLB.TV and tune to that IN CHANNELS, it works. I see the content. It's like nothing is really broken but getting the guide data into Channels.
I deleted and recreated the custom playlist, no change in results.
Anything I've missed?
that's a channels issue...if you can see the epg and m3u from the docker container, that means the data is there...it's just not getting to channels for some reason.
Kind of what I thought. Makes sense.

shot in the dark: is it possible your disk is getting full? i have all sorts of issues as my DVR drive starts filling up until i clear space...
yeah, that's definitely not it. I'll let the devs weigh in here if they have any ideas...
Thank you so much for all the work you have done on this!
I held out for a long time because I was a little intimidated by Docker, but I was able to get this up and running on my Synology NAS in less than an hour.
My only question, as a Docker newbie, is what is the process that should be followed when a version upgrade is released? Do I have to re-run the docker-compose, or is there a quicker upgrade path?
Thanks!
