Most channels not working

[youarenotme]

Is there a list of TVE channels that were removed?

[chDVRuser]

@youarenotme

here is what it says next to some channels in the manage channels this is for A&E

Which channels are showing errors?
I don't get A&E with YTTV, so can't check that one.

TVE channels previously removed

Continuing the discussion from Changes in channel lineups: I didn't keep track of when these channels were removed, just the fact they were. There were others removed before I started keeping track. If anyone wants to post what they were, I'll add them to the list. 6001 ABC LOCAL DVR Pre-Release Notes - #1942 by fancybot 6987 ABCNEWS-CHI DVR Pre-Release Notes - #1943 by fancybot 6990 ABCNEWS-FRESNO DVR Pre-Release Notes - #1943 by fancybot 6989 ABCNEWS-HOU DVR Pre-Release Notes - #1943 by f…

I went to a&e.com and foxnews.com and can watch both of those

[youarenotme]

Channels that have the error, a&e, history, fyi, lifetime,fnc, fbn, vh1, vh1p

[chDVRuser]

I don't get the A&E Networks channels (a&e, history, fyi, lifetime) with YTTV. Maybe someone else can verify them.

fnc & fbn work for me.

vh1 & vh1p are known issues

VH1 and BET not working with TVE

Both have auth failures, any fix or will they be removed? Logs submitted

Vh1 (tve)?

Is VH1 TVE source a dead stick at this point?

[youarenotme]

I'm uninstalling and reinstalling now will see how that goes

[chDVRuser]

You might want to do this first

@chDVRuser

• Before rescanning individual channels, and before removing a source to re-add, use Update Password under the gear dropdown next to your source in the DVR web UI and just key in your existing Provider password to clear the chromedata folder (likely used with other providers, but known to be used for Spectrum and Xfinity per this post )

[youarenotme]

ok, I uninstalled and reinstalled with the same outcome. then I used another pc to install on with the same results. I tried rebooting both pc's same results then rebooted modem and tried again with same results. Very strange because I can login into any of the websites and watch no problem. I did try the update Password also

[chDVRuser]

Did you try step 12 after doing step 10?
If that doesn't work, then do step 14

Also the following may cause issues.
VPN
DNS filtering (like pi-hole/ad-blockers/etc.)
Not using your ISP DNS Servers.

A&E TVE works fine for me with spectrum credentials on server Version 2026.04.08.2108. Ubuntu server as well.

[youarenotme]

yes i tried step 12 after step 10 and i did do the troubleshooting and submitted it

[youarenotme]

I appreciate you guys helping.

[youarenotme]

what is weird to me is the same channels are missing with 2 different logins. one from Spectrum and one from Directv

[chDVRuser]

Such is Channels DVR TVE.
I once had one DVR server that could not add Xfinity TVE for a week, while another DVR server on the same device could.

What are you running your Channels DVR servers on?
Bare metal or containers?

All seven of my Channels DVR servers run in containers on a Synology NAS.

[youarenotme]

Ubuntu server, used the linux install command from the web site. Don't have docker setup yet

[chDVRuser]

@youarenotme

used the linux install command from the web site

This one?

Did you install chrome, or chromium?

I'm using this one for my Channels DVR TVE docker container for YTTV

Building Your Own CDVR Docker Image with Chrome (not Chromium) for YTTV TVE Support (amd64 processors only)

A number of people have reported issues using the Docker version of CDVR-TVE with YTTV credentials. I've suspected this was related to the use of Chromium (open source), versus Chrome (based on Chromium, but proprietary). After building a custom CDVR container today with Chrome, this does appear to be the case, as I had no issues with TVE authentication using YTTV (family account with no 2FA). The Linux version of Chrome is available for amd64 processors only, so this solution is limited to pla…

Not sure if it works for DirecTV and Spectrum (doesn't work for Xfinity)

[youarenotme]

Yes thats the one I used. I installed chrome. Might have to try some other setup tomorrow.

Getting the same error on Fox Channels, TVE - DirecTV (2026.04.08.2108)

[youarenotme]

I don't know what solved the problem but got up this morning and rescanned the channels and all are now working. I tried that many times last night but it worked this morning. All is well, Thank you all for your help.
