Non-Docker source for PlutoTV m3u playlists and EPG

Looks like it. https://community.getchannels.com/u/jatin/activity

Are you guys able to watch live stream PlutoTV through Channels? I can watch it from their website, however it just repeats the message, "That's a wrap, PlutoTV is no longer available on this device." when watching through Channels.

I tried Reloading the M3U and Redownloading the XMLTV data with no joy. I hope this is user error and we have not been cutoff. Thanks.

BTW, this is hyper recently. It was working fine 3 hours ago.

That's what I'm seeing.

Seeing the same here. What could be the reason for this?

Some of the channels don't play on their website. Just buffering.
Hopefully just their services are overloaded and will come back.

I just pushed an update to my Pluto Docker container that allows for the correct username and password to authenicate the stream and it is working now. If anyone is using my fork, please update to the main repo.. It appears they are now requiring a login.

Just pulled and deployed the main branch. That did the trick! It's working fine.:ok_hand:

Hi all,

Noticed today that all Pluto stations no longer load - standard message on all channels "this device is no longer supported". Configured using the M3U url: https://nocords.xyz/pluto/playlist.m3u.
So does this mean only the docker solution will work going forward?

I would guess YES if this is true

If nocords.xyz doesn't work, it's unlikely the docker version will work as they both generate the same mp3u and playlist files.

The maddox docker container doesn't work, but this one forked from jgomez apparently does

Hi all,

So was reviewing the Bobby_Vaughn update and I'm not familiar with Portainer as I'm running channels on a Synology NAS which has container manager. Is this similar? I'm not a developer but am a quick learner....thanks!

Portainer is just a management layer. it still uses docker/containers underneath. I am going to wait for something official as I'm not really down for a code review at the moment. But I can start a docker instance if necessary, it's just that Hank's solution is so much easier.

Sorry, I meant Pluto Docker. I have been working on the Roku and have it stuck in my head.

If anyone want to try my Windows installer for Pluto, I have one updated to use the username and password. Let me know if it works for you. I only was able to do quick tests.

@Bobby_Vaughn trying your container out and I’m getting this error when using local. Is this expected behavior on the m3u page?


Give me a minute, I have to do help y neighbor and will return in a few. I use the I usually just do the docker run

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --network=host -e PLUTO_PORT=[your_port_number_here] -e PLUTO_USERNAME='your_username' -e PLUTO_PASSWORD='your_password' --name pluto-for-channels rcvaughn2/pluto-for-channels:main

I'll look into doing the same, in case anyone is using maddox/pluto-for-channels...or I'll just deprecate it and refer to your repo.

The most recent @Bobby_Vaughn image appears to be working fine via Project One-Click -- with no modifications required. I just spun it up and tested several channels:

Note that the Action is named: Pluto-for-Channels2 in Project One-Click.

Thanks all for the quick responses...this forum is awesome!!
So Grok helped me get this setup in container manager /synology. It's running now successfully. Sorry if this us already posted, so how do I configure channels to now point to this container for Pluto? using port 7777:7777
