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+ ?
Hi there,
Getting the video stream isn't the issue.
The issue is being able to decode and work with DRM formats.
The ESPN+ docker doesn't decode video. If they decide to encrypt the streams, we will need to move on.
Thank you for the explanation. I wonder if it’s just a matter of time before all TVE channels move to this format. Anything they can do to throw a wrench in it and control the way we consume content…
It appears that SNY may have gone as well although that could be a geolock thing for me.
