Non-Docker source for PlutoTV m3u playlists and EPG

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

lol, it's very weird that it's just...the same exact name as another project.

@maddox I forked @joagomez Pluto one about a year ago with the Username and Password when they first talked about requiring it.

Try using the double quotes

environment:
      PLUTO_USERNAME: "YOUR_USERNAME"
      PLUTO_PASSWORD: "YOUR_PASSWORD"
      PLUTO_CODE: "local,us_east,us_west,ca,uk,fr,de"

Are you going to update your container?

If anyone uses the Windows version, let me know if it works. I just ran a quick test, but I didn't have a chance to really test it out. I will look at both projects tomorrow when I'm not so busy. Thanks.

If you go to the ip address you have it installed on (192.xxx.xxx.xxx:7777) you will see the links to use for the Custom Channels in your Channels DVR source.

I'm testing the windows version now. Seems to be working nicely! I didn't have to provide my username/password.

I was using nocords, but had the "that's a wrap" issue this morning. I switched to your docker, putting in my username and password, and it all worked. Then I shut that down and tried the Windows app - which as I say is working, without the username and password!

Hello Jon, if you don't mind, can you update your Github Repository? I realize you're busy, I rather install something trusted from a Channels Developer. Thank you.

A few days ago, I installed the joagomez version using Project One-Click. It worked fine until earlier today.

I just checked a couple of channels now and is just running this:

I will try the @Bobby_Vaughn version later.

I still use nocords url still. Will that be updated?
I have the jgomez docker too, but only use t for CA playlist for pluto.
I ran update in docker and it still v1.20 updated Jan 18,2025

So, what is now needed for Pluto to work in Channles?
A login to what, i see no way to login.
Never needed a Pluto account, did not even know they had accounts, why if they stream free and i can just google a channel it comes up fine.
I can go their site and not login and watch every channel fine too...

You will want to put them in on the dashboard of the Windows version. You have the token issued, but it will expire.

Got it going with docker run, I needed single qoutes.

Them special characters are tricky in docker.
