NFL Network Stream not found & unsupported encryption method

Xfinity stream is also working:

Yep. It's working again.

Can we get the channel added back again?

working for me with DTV Stream

And it's back again (for how long this time?)

Working on Spectrum. Hopefully it lasts since I can't get MNF. I will have to watch the replay, hopefully no spoilers!

Working here on CoxTVE

HULU Live TV is showing NFL network here.
working last i checked.

Nice to see NFLN working again. At least we have options when it doesn't tho

Something is up with NFL Network again. This morning, it failed to record:

Even odder, I'm not sure why it thinks it tried again after the failure and created a zero-byte file:

I can stream with no problem at https://www.nfl.com/network/watch/nfl-network-live. I also rescanned NFL Network and it worked successfully. However, when I go to play, it still errors out:

Yep, I get connection to tuner failed when trying to play live and recording not found when trying to play Chiefs replay from early this morning.

Looks like the website url to get to the live feed changed.
It's now at https://www.nfl.com/network/watch/nfl-network-live
And after I link my Provider, the video doesn't load. Just a spinning circle. Even after refreshing the web page. Using Firefox.
Just tried using MS EDGE and it works at their website.
Now working with Firefox too.

Channels DVR still doesn't work.

Same on another dvr server

It appears its drm'd again. Not sure why they go on and off with the drm.

Doesn't appear to be DRM. What makes you think it might be?

It depends on the user agent Channels is using to authenticate and get the stream. Last time I saw this occur, users were getting the same reported error "Unsupported encryption method". Just checking now, when you use a regular browser on your PC it was pulling a drm dash stream vs hls. Today it's not, but I am wondering if when this happened previously, Channels switched to authenticate and get the stream from an iOS user agent in order to get the HLS version. If you do that today you will get a drm HLS version. Obviously, some speculation on how they are doing things but I have a feeling it's erroring out due to this.

I checked while streaming at their website using Firefox and didn't see that.
When I try to record with Channels DVR it fails "Stream unsupported due to encryption method: SAMPLE-AES" and I see this in the debug recording log.

Went to watch the end of the NFL game on the NFL Network, and I get the error message "Connection Lost (-17). The connection to the tuner was lost. Press play to try again". I went to the Fire TV NFL app and was able to watch there.

Tried removing my source (Vidgo), and readded it to Channels, shows the NFL Channel in the source list as being available, but when I try to tune it in Channels, I get the error.

Is Channels having a problem with the NFL Channel?

Im seeing it too, as well as the redzone.

I think others have seen it the past week or so. The nfl network has been making changes all year. Check this thread out….
