LOCAL STIRR MODULE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

Yes, this happened a few months ago. The raw data from the Stirr server has some formatting error that the Stirr GO program can’t parse. Last time it took 3 or 4 days to wait for Stirr to fix the problem.
I don’t know GO so I’m unable to debug and fix the code to handle the parsing error.
I took a quick look and made some fixes here: https://github.com/robbiet480/stirr-for-channels/pull/3

I put your changes in, and it's working again. You're best, thank you @tmm1!
The Stirr links on nocords.xyz are now back up, and hopefully much more resilient to upstream errors.
In case anyone wants to dig or debug further, here's the stations/data that it was erroring out on:

Cache fill complete, loaded 110 channels with 2292 programs in guide
2022/07/11 09:30:33
Update. I just checked all those URLs and they work fine (not 404).
I re-ran the Stirr GO program and this time it returned no errors.
So whatever is happening on the Stirr end appears to be intermittent with these URLs.
Whatever it is, Stirr is now up again.

Thank you for your help with this. I've got guide data on both Pluto and Stirr. Love this solution much better than the Docker version that would quit intermittently on me on my Windows computer and also much less strenous on the CPU.

- For Pluto Playlist: https://nocords.xyz/pluto/playlist.m3u
just found this. awesome.
feature request: enable "prefix" and "padding" parameters to adjust the channel numbers dynamically while still referencing the original channel-number.
PoC:
This is just a wrapper around your m3u (cached locally for 30 min as well):
https://jeremy.kister.net/cgi-bin/channelsdvr-plutotv.mpl
the default is ?prefix=8&padding=4
this makes all pluto channels 5 digits in length and all start with an 8:
- 0 -> 80000
- 12 -> 80012
- 123 -> 80123
- 1234 -> 81234

Thanks
It’s already set up for that.
I believe this should work (I’m on my phone right now):
https://nocords.xyz/pluto/custom.php?start=80000
edit: Yup, that works.

well, that behavior is a bit different - it starts numbering at N and increments 1 for each channel.
this one keeps the original channel convention but just pads it. I like this because it matches with the native channels and the pluto.tv website. so the ST:TNG channel on their site is 270, and with this it's changed to 80270
so the last channel # in mine is 83415 (my prefix + match pluto's 3415), the last channel in yours is 80337 (because 337 available channels).

That does sound nice. The mismatch otherwise can be confusing.

Ok, I've changed the code to re-use the original channel number.
The link and parameters remain the same:

sweet that's exactly how i need it. thx!
You're welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I hope any other custom users aren't surprised by the change (for the better).
edit: The only difference is that the custom link adds the channel number to the starting point. So if you specified start=80001, then you'd get channel number+80001 in the m3u file.

What should the Options be set to ??? Prefer or Ignore channel-number from M3U??
Thank you...

Ignore, usually.

If you are using the custom.php version, then you want "prefer".
If you choose "ignore" I think Channels DVR will (or may) assign alternate channel numbers if there's a conflict.

I tried it last week and only got as far as one station assigned to "0", my OCD couldn't handle it being before my OTA channels

Oh wow! I'm very new to Channels, loving it. I have no clue what the hell docker means or is. So I tried adding the regular m3u for Pluto. It worked, but it has no show info, and couldn't record, so coming across your post here I figured hey, this is exactly the process I just did just with a different url address! I can do that! So I deleted my Pluto source, added it again with your url address. Works amazingly!!! Has all the show data, show posters, record option!. Wow!
Thanks so much for doing this!
