NBC channel not working in locast

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting

Recently the NBC channel in Dallas from locast has stopped working. It shows playback failed in the firetv app or does nothing in the web player but it works when using the locast app itself. All other locast channels work fine. Here is what the log shows.

I noticed the same problem and have a ticket open with Channels.
You can watch NBC from Locast app directly (although not ideal).

That's correct. The Locast app works but we like to record shows and then watch them later so that we can skip the commercials. At first I thought it was locast because that channel had low signal issues last week and locast acknowledged that they were aware of the issue and were working on it so maybe this has something to do with whatever they did to fix that.
