New channels install not getting same block of channels and my existing on TVE

I have fios, TVE on my original channels install shows me 160 channels, I'm trying to bring up another server and its limited to 145 channels.
I compared the two servers, and its pretty much one solid string of concurrent channels that aren't being picked up now.

Any idea what this could be? I spot checked a few of these channels on my existing channels server, and they tune and stream for me.

A little more data, when I open this in settings and tell it to scan with the channels up, they showup in the list with an error next to them, "no login form found"

let me check this thread and try, but to answer... I just installed brand new ubuntu OS installs on two little dell optiplex boxes, and brand new channels installs w/ TVE, and they are both doing the same exact thing.

I get the same error rescanning an individual channel

Running channels 2023.05.28.0643 on Ubuntu 23.04.

Just updated this second to 2023.05.30.0452 and I'm still getting "no login form found" when I scan an individual channel.

my tve_chrome.log has a lot of repeating lines, ill paste the tail end:

I have removed and readded the source several times with no change, looks like the place login "happens" with this channel block maybe moved and needs to be updated? Idk

Try moving on to other things. This is probably on there end. Check again in a week.

This persists

What version of chrome ?

Those are all WBD (previously Discovery) networks, and all essentially use the same authentication. The problems could likely be linked to authentication consolidation with WBD and tied to the Max roll-out.

(Authentication with those networks has always been finicky in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised to see WBD go the way of Comcast/NBCU, rendering those networks unusable within Channels, too.)

looks like it was my chromium, i updated it on this box and now i get those channels for some reason.

I always update channels, and never remember to check chromium

Thanks!
