@HankLloydRight I've noticed that the Jamie Oliver Channel using both your and Matt's playlist/epg isn't getting season and episodes. Is that because of PlutoTV? When looking at the channel directly in PlutoTV I can see seasons and episodes.
This how it shows up in Channels using either.
This is how it shows up in PlutoTV.
Unfortunately I can't give you a good answer, as my script depends on the original Pluto script by @maddox. And if Matt's playlist is returning the same thing I'd have to assume it was a change on Pluto's side.
It's in the guide data being pulled from Pluto

Looks like some series are like this and some aren't. Perhaps it's a PlutoTV problem that isn't easy to develop around.
Is there a Plex nondocker version as well by chance?
Ahem
I appreciate it. But what is pip install and python? Sorry I am stupid when it comes to all of this.
Just install python 3.11 for windows and be sure to check to install pip in the installation options
Is python lunix or wondows? I apologize for being confused. But this is far beyond my grasp of windows.
It's both. You could use python on both
Did not know that. Thank you.
The Blue Bloods Pluto channel on Channel is stuck on a perpetual loop of the same three commercials, without any Blue Bloods content being shown. But on the Pluto’s own app, everything is normal. Do you have any reason for this happening?
ANSWER;
Pluto is not a native Channels DVR source.
What m3u are you using for your source?
Working great using Maddox Docker.
nocords.xyz only provides m3u links to the content and the program guide. It has nothing to do with the content streaming from those channels.
That has to set a record for the fastest reply for an unsupported 3rd party addon to Channels DVR from the 3rd party developer.
Thanks @HankLloydRight
What's the difference between using the script (Docker container) to generate a playlist instead of using the one directly from the website?
There should be no difference in the end result. But with the website playlist, you don't have to run docker or a docker container locally on your computer.
looks like t: https://nocords.xyz/stirr/playlist.m3u is just returning my Stirr playlist?

Is that intended?
Same goes for the EPG
