I understand, but the VPN remotely is for redundancy and is in our location, but on a different connection (DSL rather than Cable). Cloudflare insists it is not blocking our IP but rather the customer. No worries. I can make without. Thank you again!
Any notice any issues with streaming Pluto in Channels of it just freezing, showing the timeline bar, and the spinning circle in it? I click left or right and it resumes, but then freezes again. Recordings are fine, only live is issue.
This is happening alot and during the "We will be back" Pluto screen after the show ends and before the new show is on.
This is happening on my Nvidia Shield tube modal, wired ethernet. Channel 1120 Judge Judy channel. (my mother is watching this channel all day and complaining to me of this issue, i have observed it my self) I have watched for hours other Pluto channels, and not had the issue, but i use a Apple Tv.
EDIT: I am seeing this in the server logs...

Weird. I am playing the channel no issue on my apple tv.
You are not alone....I'm seeing the same intermittently. Maybe Pluto is having some capacity issues with the roll-out of the Google Free Live channels with Pluto (that's not TVE, but who knows how their servers are configured).
Cool news. I'm curious to know if/when these two will come over via nocords.xyz too? Do we have to do anything, or is it automatic? @HankLloydRight
As far as I know it should be automatic as the source is Pluto.
The Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune Pluto channel id's don't appear in the Pluto API (yet).
I think Matt got the channel id's (you can see them on the Pluto website) and used them for his playlist.

Unfortunately it’s not. Matt is using a different endpoint, that’s how his m3u manages to get the Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune channels:
Yup. I get:
{"statusCode":401,"error":"Unauthorized","errorCode":"BearerTokenRequired","message":"bearer token required"}
How does one get a bearer token?
Hmm, is that this? Accessing Pluto data programmatically
Otherwise, perhaps @matthuisman can share information about it.
Wrong Pluto, that one is
I did some limited searching and only found API's used in projects at github
data = s.get('https://boot.pluto.tv/v4/start', params=PLUTO_PARAMS).json()
s.headers.update({'authorization': 'Bearer {}'.format(data['sessionToken'])})
pluto params are just the usual
I just realized Pluto guide doesn't offer the record option on my client. I never checked this or recorded from Pluto yet. So not sure if this is normal or I have a problem. All my other guides have record option.
I'm using the the file and guide setup info from the beginning of this chain. Any feedback appreciated. Thx
If setup correctly you should be able to record from Pluto. Usually when there is no record option presented there is a problem with the guide data. If you are getting guide blocks with one long block with the channel’s name then guide data is missing. Revisit post one and verify the guide data url is correct in your settings. Then choose the maintenance drop down under guide database and select delete and recreate guide database.
Thanks for replying.
I have the following setup addresses:
https://nocords.xyz/pluto/playlist.m3u
https://nocords.xyz/pluto/epg.xml
The guide populates and displays correct show info. And I had already tried reloading guide from the server. I'am using the beta version so not sure if that could be a problem.
Try doing a Redownload XMLTV for the source
Updating to 2023.09.21.2256 did the trick. I should have known better. #1 reboot #2 check for updates.
Thanks all for the extremely quick reply's . Such a great product that focuses on customer experience.
Just in case, always worth a reminder about how recordings work with Pluto:
I got Pluto to work in Channels but where do I get the so-called m3u codes to enter in the Space provided to make these streaming services work. No wheres is there a place to look to add these strings of codes. I see multiple posts with extremely complicated programming strings that are miles long. The streaming services I want to connect to Channels are: Xumo, Freevee, Freecable TV, Tubi, DistroTV, Philo, SingTV. Where is the magic place to look to find out what needs to be entered in the space provided under "TV Anywhere" in the Channels server?
