It looks like http://nbcsports.com/philadelphia no longer has a stream on the website? It seems to have moved to nbc.com/live which uses a completely different set of servers and streaming methods.
Ah I went to the wrong website. The correct one is Watch NBC Sports Philadelphia live but it seems they may be in the process of shutting that down since its not linked from anywhere. The stream on there seems to be stuck in a loop, as if they turned it off.
I'm removing the channels from the DVR for now (in the latest prerelease). If the stream starts working again on the website we can add it back.
Yeah. Looks like you are correct. The new URL is here:
Hopefully it comes back. If I can't get NBCSP through TVE I might have to look at cablecards or something.

Noticed the same with NBC Sports Bay Area. The Warriors basketball game didn't record last night and I can't watch that channel thru Channels. The stream Watch NBC Sports Bay Area live is working but showing infomercials right now, and it looks like a loop. 
New live stream link: https://www.nbc.com/live?brand=rsn-bay-area&callsign=nbcsbayarea
Any chance this channel will come back? It's one of the main reason's I pay the monthly fee.

The new nbc.com/live streams are not compatible unfortunately. It is not likely that these could be readded, unless they old stream website starts working again.

Are these the same links as what the NBCSports App uses? I was able to log in using that, link my Fubo subscription and watch NBC Sports Philly that way. It didn’t appear to be a loop and it had a guide showing the same programming and times as if I had a Comcast box for cable.
Any way to find and use those streaming links within Channels?
Looks like they are DRM dash streams? That's a bummer, it seems like more and more channels are moving that direction.

This is really bad. I love this app, but this is foundational for me.

The more this stuff changes the more of a legacy product it will be to those that want to have a real DVR solution.
Having issues with Youtube TV and NBC Sports Boston as well. I see on their website that the live stream schedule is just for the Celtics game tonight at 6:30PM and Sunday at 12PM. Is it possible they're only live streaming via TVE the Celtics games and not just a 24/7 live stream? I guess I can check later this evening.
I agree. I do have Youtube TV, but I use Channels to output to TiviMate for multiscreen. Having the Celtics, Bruins and other screens in a multiview arrangement is key and one of the best uses for me for Channels DVR.
Hi there,
I don't know if vidgo offers rsn streams.
would be good to have that new guy create the vlc-bridge docker for Stremium.
We make a mass contribution, and a lot of some headaches will be gone.
We connect Channels to Stremium and let their cloud do all the hard decoding.

Any updates on the NBC Sports RSNs? With the NBA playoffs coming up, I need NBC Sports Bostons feed.

You should probably start planning for another way to watch the playoffs. Since the streams are now DRM protected it is unlikely this ever comes back.

At least for the playoffs TNT/ABC/ESPN are still available

Understandably, it's a cat-and-mouse game, and ABC/ESPN/TNT will be plenty for the NBA playoffs, dealing with going back to the NBC Sports app/web for the rest. I hope something can be figured out over the summer, but if not, it's time to hunt for alternatives again 
Any chance of an open source solution similar to ESPN+ ?
