Anyone is welcome to contribute to mlbserver via a pull request at Github!
I will just advise, if you want the guide filled with "off air" entries, it should be optional, and not the default behavior.
Should there be a MLB.CHC channel? I feel like I'm missing some channels. I have 32, is that correct including big inning, gamechanger, multiview mlb network
If you're in the Cubs blackout zone, there likely won't be a MLB.CHC channel during the regular season.
That is just how mlbserver guide data looks in channels dvr web ui guide. It only displays 6 hours at a time in the web ui. If there is no game within those 6 hours it displays the channel name with the date.
This is mlbserver guide data in the web ui.
This is in the app that goes out further than the 6 hours.
Notice the Yankees don’t play today so it displays the channel id
@mexicanmamba There's nothing specific to this container or the alternative one about changing logos. So I imagine whatever you did before (editing the M3U, or doing something in Channels DVR) can be done again.

Thanks for the screenshots. I was not familiar with the Channels DVR guide.
Thank you!!!! Looks like I am blacked out on the Padres.
Thank you sir. I will check that out and give it a try. I had the previous version of the mlbserver working but have not been able to figure out the current recommended version yet.
Though I know your setup is functioning, there are a couple of issues with the Docker Compose you posted:
First, the way you did the above volume binding, is basically doing nothing. Since there's just the one path, you're assigning /volume1/docker/mlbserver/data inside the container to an anonymous Docker Volume. Since that path is not where data is stored inside container, the net effect is zero.
I believe what you were trying to do is:
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/data/mlbserver:/mlbserver/data_directory
Keep in mind on a Synology NAS like yours, the path to the left of the colon must exist on the NAS before you deploy the container. So, make sure /volume1/docker/data/mlbserver exists. This way your mlbserver data will be maintained through updates and such.
Second, this type of assignment while valid, is generally not used unless you know what it's doing. Maybe it's intended, but if not, be aware you're binding port 9999 only to 192.168.7.220:9999. This means the container will not respond on any other interface including localhost -- only 192.168.7.220.
I tried doing the project one-click on olivetin but it gives me these errors, JSON response from http://192.168.7.220:9000/api/stacks/create/standalone/string?endpointId=3: {"message":"failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed: '/volume1/docker/mlbserver/data/mlbserver' does not exist","details":"Failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed: '/volume1/docker/mlbserver/data/mlbserver' does not exist"} false
It keeps asking me to create the data folder over and over

Yes, as I said above, and I know we've discussed before:
This is a unique requirement on Synology, so it's one of those things you need to keep in mind when doing directory bindings. You must create the directory first.
Do you see where it says "A sub-directory name of mlbserver will automatically be used"? That means Project One-Click is taking care of that part.
Your HOST_DIR path should be:
HOST_DIR=/volume1/docker/data
And the directory you need to be sure exists is:
/volume1/docker/data/mlbserver
The beauty of this, is when you spin-up additional containers with directory bindings, you can go to /volume1/docker/data that already exists, and simply add a new directory called mlbserver or organizr, or whatever.
Also note the error message you posted tells you exactly what's wrong. In this case, you've duplicated mlbserver, by adding it a second time yourself.

@tonywagner I understand that mlbserver guide will populate at the time the game starts in channels, but as you see, the guide is empty before it "starts"
not sure about other teams or streams, but mlb shows pregame and post game on game day. so on the mets team channel, the pregame is currently airing like SNY is showing.
although one can start the channel by long press on the channel number to watch, you can't click on the guide like normal since it isn't populated. any way you can extend the guide to include the pregame and postgame?
p.s. I know that I can watch the previous channel, but believe it or not, the team channel has a different commercial bumper and sometimes (most of the time) it doesn't show the sports crawler on the bottom like the linear channel.
thanks.
Excellent use of the 1986 channel number! LGM

Would it work to fill in the gaps with "programs" like the following?
Title: Off Air

I will look into this.
thanks, it also happens that the game yesterday went into extra innings as well.
I think that format would be great! Honestly this is something I have been missing as well. thank you for looking into it!
