What should we put under limits for these sources? I think Stirr should be 'Limit to 1 stream' ?
Limits should be based on your hardware and/or internet setup.
Unless you have very low-capability hardware or a slow internet connection, there is no real reason to define limits for these sources.

I might be confused but I have trouble playing the same Stirr channel on two displays.
M3U Streams are always shared not sure what your problem is.
What are the two clients and can you describe the problem?

sdust, has your network speed improved at all since last year?
Because if not, that's probably got something to do with it.
Paying the same Stream (channel) in multiple Clients does not require additional Internet speed ... as the 2nd Client should be getting the stream from the server.
@sdust When watching the Same channel on 2 clients you should see this ...
2023/02/08 12:31:02.539879 [TNR] Sharing existing connection to M3U-Pluto for ch9000 TV Land Drama (clients=2, len=0)
Sorry, can not reproduce now. 
Does anyone know if the guide data XML link is working anymore? I'm not seeing guide data anymore.
With the source of:
https://nocords.xyz/pluto/playlist.m3u
and guide of:
https://nocords.xyz/pluto/epg.xml
It works fine
I re-installed my server recently and just re-added Pluto TV and I'm seeing the guide for Pluto channels listed as "Pluto TV Spotlight @ 11am" and "Pluto TV Action @ 11am" etc. There are no specific shows listed for any channel. I don't recall if I should see actual show names in the guide, or is what I'm seeing accurate?
The logos display fine, btw. Thanks for your help.
I see a normal guide with the channel numbers and names on the left and then the times with shows to the right. There are hundreds of channels from Pluto. You server may need some time to populate the guide. If you go to settings, you can see the server activity in the upper right. The speed of your server and network will determine how long it takes to update.
Yes, you should see show names. Try going to sources and hit the gear next to Pluto source and reload xmltv
Then go to the top and watch the activity section to see if it’s downloading.
@paladintom If that does not work, go down to Guide Database, click on the maintenance gear button and choose “Delete and Recreate Database”
Post a screenshot of the settings for your Pluto source. That will let us see if there are any issues with your settings.
My feed for Pluto doesn't have TNT (your screenshot ch 51).
It has Pluto TV Spotlight
You should select;
Options: Ignore channel number from M3U
to let Channels DVR assign channel numbers so no sources have overlapping channel numbers.
Options: Prefer channel logos from M3U.
to get the channel icons from Pluto
they are now thumbnails and the electronic program guide that I have inpluto just gives general category or just name a program, no details. Therefore I am assuming electronic program guide data is not being downloaded, is that correct?
if so, how do I correct this problem?
please frame your response from the perspective of a non-geek person.
