Aren't these just the NBC local news channels already available on services like XUMO?
Yes, these are just the local news streams and not full NBC programming.
NBCUniversal Local’s FAST portfolio includes 11 NBC station local news channels and four Telemundo station regional news channels (which are powered by multiple stations in each region). The local channels are available on other platforms including Peacock, Samsung TV Plus, the Roku Channel and Xumo Play (operated by a joint venture of Comcast and Charter).

Would it be possible to create a source with Amazon login?
And get back those nbc family channels? Would they possibly populate under Pluto?

Universo wouldn't work because of this correct? It shows up on the guide but I'd figure it wouldn't work. This is what I get on my end,

It is unfortunate to see that out of touch big wigs are trying hard to prevent people from legally watching their stuff all under the guise of preventing piracy. They should take notes from the music industry. These tactics don't prevent piracy, it'll just promote it more...

I just released a script that does exactly what you are asking.
You may want to give it a try:
That's funny... cos I just viewed the MSNBC livestream through Safari (June 11, 2023) on macOS and I know that doesn't use Widevine. Any idea why Safari can view using MSNBC Live: Stream the latest TV shows yet Channels' Chrome/Chromium cannot? @racameron

The NBC streams use DRM.

I was just able to view your link from Chrome using my Xfinity creds. So maybe MSNBC is not DRM or they have removed it just recently? I also checked to make sure HDHR prime was not being used to pull it which it wasn't.
However that's not a channel I watch.

I know this is late, but they have the nbc Universal app that has all the sister channels. It's just not channels dve compatible.
