Mystery Alley TVE ch6093 Not working

Noticed today that 6093 Mystery Valley was not working.
This could have happened after I installed the Stable Release.
I did just install the latest beta release and no difference.

2024/09/05 17:43:41.620687 [HLS] Couldn't generate stream playlist for ch6093-dANY-ip127.0.0.1: TVE: Could not fetch playlist from linear-293.frequency.stream: GET: https://linear-293.frequency.stream/dist/studio/293/hls/master/playlist.m3u8: 500 Internal Server Error

I thought it was strange that channel showed available with guide info, since I quit using Xfinity TVE and got a Sling Free account. It appears in the TVE channels for my Sling Free, but I get the same error trying to play it. Thought that given the channel number it wasn't a free/FAST channel
Ovation's Mystery Alley

Is this the channel? https://ovationtv.com/watch/?live=mystery-alley Which shows an error in the player

Yes, this channel comes as part of a group of "extra" TVE channels that Channels adds when you run a TVE scan for your source. I have a Sling Bue subscription, but also had them with Sling Free.

What I meant was the channel number 6093 is in the range of TVE channels, not the free/FAST channels that start at 6700. Doesn't matter since it doesn't work.

The "watch live" stream on the website hasn't worked in a couple of weeks. I check periodically since I keep getting recording errors on my passes.

It's just a spinning circle (loading) on Plex. They must use the same url.

When I checked the Mystery Alley channel in sources, it "scans" successfully. However, when I try to watch "Live" in the client, I get a "500 Internal Server Error".
I went directly to the Ovation / Mystery Valley website which is apparently free but it's GUI is whacky. If I try to watch it "Live" I get Error code 232011.However, if I click "Start Watching", the video comes up.
The website claims that you can download the Ovation App from the App Store but the app does not exist.
Meanwhile, (it seems) all the programming that is on the Ovation website is available on Amazon's "Freevee" channel "On Demand" but with commercials. This includes Murdoch, The Librarians, etc.
I would prefer to watch without commercials but it seems that's the way of the streaming world now.
