#492

I'm still having that issue with games other than MLB.
This is the error I'm getting. I don't know how to go about figuring it out. This is what I get from the log files:
2026/04/08 17:25:52.262560 [HLS] Couldn't generate master playlist for ch12703-dANY-ipfe80--e51b-e877-bee-126-Ethernet: M3U: Could not fetch playlist from 172.16.5.46:9999: EOF

Any thoughts?

If you can share your mlbserver container log, that would help.

This was a bug that was fixed back on March 27. Please update your mlbserver image and refresh your M3U in Channels.

(The bug was adding a second “&mediaType=Video” parameter to the stream URLs.)

#496

Thank you, that fixed it. I'm sorry I didn't think about updating it, I believe I updated it in Feb and thought that was the only update.

#497

Anyone having issues with mlbserver today? I updated the image and refreshed m3u but tit still won't load the channels. Below is the container log:

Update: Now it's back after deleting and re-adding the source

The Norfolk AAA game doesn’t start until 6:45 PM EDT today.

Active minor league games are working for me right now.

mlbserver seems to not be serving channels today... the "channels.m3u?mediaType=Video&resolution=best" endpoint seems to only serve big inning, game changer, stream finder, and multiview.

edit - ignore the include teams that was something i was playing with. fixed the correct m3u

#500

all good now

#501

Tony, Enjoyed using mlbserver last year and just bought a mlbteam.tv package today. I pulled latest mlbserver and started up but I get http post failed : 400 - "{\"error\":\"invalid_grant\",\"error_description\":\"The credentials provided were invalid.\"}" although mlb shows me with an active subscription with same credentials.

Does this not work with single team package?

#502

MLB server won't update or run for me anymore. Was working fine until this weekend.

#503

I updated my MLBserver was updated a little bit ago.
Games are playing as long as a team subscription is on your account or you have a valid mlb.tv subscription.

#504

Should work. Your email and password are correct? You could delete your credentials.json file or your whole data folder and restart the container too.

#505

I am using it right now, latest version 2026.4.23. Feel free to share your mlbserver container log if you want to troubleshoot.

#506

I can't even get the container to start anymore or show logs. It says port 9999 unavailable. I deleted stack and container and tried to start over and got his error in portainer:

Failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: ports are not available: exposing port TCP 192.168.150.170:9999 -> 127.0.0.1:0: listen tcp4 192.168.150.170:9999: bind: can't assign requested address

Here's what I enter in the stack but then it tells me another on is running but it's not:

#508

Where did you get this Docker Compose? It has multiple potential issues:

In this form, you can ONLY access this container via that exact ip:port combo, it's not listening on any other interface. Why are you doing this?

Here, since you're not mapping anything to this folder, it ends up being bound to a non-persistent volume. This is the opposite of what you want.

Any reason you're not using Project One-Click to do this for you?

#509

I don't know where I got it but I just went to the github and followed the install and got it running again. Thanks for trying to help me get it figure out

#510

What kind of a host are you using for Docker/Portainer here?

#511

Not sure what you mean by host. To get it running again I followed the github to run as node and then added the container
