Thanks

Is there any way using this to grab a steam from an archived game and get it into Channels? I want to record the stream for a game that I forgot to record live. Any ideas?

In theory yes but i tried this with mlbserver and it didnt work for me :frowning:

Help me out here...(. I am running the matty8199 container, and it was working great. If I use the new url in the M3u, it fails. I inserted the following into the custom channels text:

#EXTINF:-1 CUID="MLBTV.NYY" channelID="MLBTV.NYY" tvg-num="916" tvg-chno="916" tvc-guide-stationid="136223" tvg-logo="https://content.sportslogos.net/logos/53/68/full/1256.png" group-title="MLBTV",Yankees
http://192.168.2.206:5714/mlb/stream.m3u8?teamId=147

What am I doing wrong?

Do I need to edit the container run command to map port 5714?

Stream spelled incorrectly?

Edited post.

If the container does not specify a port, then it needs to be 5714. Though 5714 is the port specified in MLB Server by Tony Wagner. Looks like you are mixing the two up and trying to get it to work. Right now I think the one by Tony Wagner is the only one that is working.
What are you using for the container? Portainer? Unraid?

What I would do is use my m3u as text in channels and do find and replace on the ipaddress

first off, @tonywagner is the man!

He did go back and bring the mlbserver code up to snuff. Though i’m not sure how long he’ll go maintaining two codebases with very similar functionality.

There are a few side quests i’m working through, like scripting the download / strm file creation + nfo file creation of condensed games, highlights, fast cast, etc.
Some xmltv objectives. Image caching.
Wrapping my arms around gamechanger / multiview.
Will share once i’ve got something concrete in any matter.

Would be really cool if there was a json hash table object file for mapping team id to gracenote id and applying the tvc-guide-stationid tag on matches. Kinda like how the fubo/plex/tubi containers were done.

Thank you. Got this installed, however when I try to log in, it gives me an error. The page isn't working right now, localhost didn't send any data, err_empty_response.
I tried adding the login information myself in the server settings, but that didn't work either.

Never mind, I updated the stack and was able to login. Now I'll try setting it up in channelsdvr.

I’m not sure by your post but it reads as you are just trying to use a different url with the matty8199 container. This new m3u uses an entirely new and different docker container. Did you setup a new container with Tony Wagner’s mlbserver container?

This appears to be working for me.

Side question, is there a way to set up a channel for MLB Big Inning?

@slampman

I'd like to add this extension to Project One-Click. Is the one you referenced the one to add? I see mlbserver has also been updated -- would that be better?

OliveTin-for-Channels also includes static-file-server, which allows files to be hosted on a URL, which should make for easy updates to the M3U.

Any thoughts you have on best implementation would be appreciated...

The old original mlbserver (GitHub - tonywagner/mlbserver) has a Big Inning channel, both in M3U and XML.

How would I pull this into the M3U list at the top of this thread?

For the original mlbserver, Big Inning will show up in the default M3U/XML endpoints:

http://your.mlbserver.ip.address:9999/channels.m3u

http://your.mlbserver.ip.address:9999/guide.xml

Those endpoints will include every non-blackout MLB game, Big Inning, Game Changer, and minor league affiliate games for your favorite MLB team(s) as defined in the mlbserver settings. (Edit to add: MLB Network too, if your account is entitled to it.)

There's some more documentation on your mlbserver home page, in the "Live Channel Playlist, XMLTV Guide, ICS Calendar" section. Hover over each option for a description tooltip.

http://your.mlbserver.ip.address:9999/

@tonywagner im running mlbserver via node.

any idea why the MLB logos arent being generated/why the below url is provided as the source? minor league teams and Big Inning, game changer, and multiview sources are all good.

here's a sample of the XML:

Looks like @tonywagner forgot to include them into the m3u. It's not the worst thing in the world but you'll have to do a guessing game to figure out which feed is which on the channel collections

If you look at my m3u at the top of this thread, i have the urls for logos...
