New to Channels and IPTV - context deadline exceeded on m3u with 42 channels

#1

Hello,

I'm having quite a bit of difficulty transferring my current playlist from Jellyfin to Channels. I first received the following error: Couldn't generate stream playlist for ch9009-dANY-ip192.168.1.166: M3U: Detected MPEG-TS instead of HLS playlist

I finally figured out i needed to change the source to MPEG-TS and one of my 2 machines running Unraid started working!! For some reason, I was still unable to get the second machine to pull over any channels as it would throw a "context deadline exceeded" error even though it was an identical list to the machine now working - 42 +/- channels.

Both machines run fine on Jellyfin... can anyone point me in the right direction of solving this?

The machine that accepted the MPEG-TS setting ran great until i rebooted the system and I can no longer connect to the source and get the same "context deadline exceeded" error on it now...

Many thanks

Alright, I've made a bit of progress but still cannot load an m3u for one instance for some reason - context deadline exceeded error remains. I'm not sure what the cause is but out of luck i was at a different computer attempting to re-add / refresh sources after my reboot failure (this occurred b/c i have selected "old tv everywhere MPEG-TS rewriter" option in order to get my channels to pull in. My previously working instance immediately came back online after re-selecting this advanced option.

That said, it seems to make no difference for my other instance - which i have never gotten to work / gotten past the "context deadline exceeded" error regardless of selecting this advanced option or seemingly regardless of the machine i'm on... I"d sure appreciate some guidance here and am happy to provide any additional information that may be needed!

That error usually means the url is wrong. Maybe IP changed somewhere
