Non-Docker source for PlutoTV m3u playlists and EPG

Playground Custom Channels
#576

Are you using this Non-Docker source in Jelyfin ... if so use the m3u from your Channels DVR sever.
This is the output I get when using M3u from Channels DVR ... Channels DVR adds all that you need ... If not then it is up yto JellyFin....

I am using a docker source of jellyfin, but I am not actually running a channels-dvr container. I am simply connecting the m3u playlist and epg from the nocords site directly to Jellyfin. This is what the output of the direct m3u is for a channel:

#EXTINF:0 channel-id="cars-1" channel-number="0" tvg-logo="https://images.pluto.tv/channels/5c12ba66eae03059cbdc77f2/colorLogoPNG.png" tvc-guide-art="https://images.pluto.tv/channels/5c12ba66eae03059cbdc77f2/featuredImage.jpg?fill=blur&fit=fill&fm=jpg&h=562&q=75&w=1000" tvc-guide-title="Pluto TV Cars" tvc-guide-description="Hit the road with Pluto TV Cars. This is the channel for those driven by a passion for classic cars and modern motors. It’s for the car lovers who will never forget the first time they adjusted their rear-view mirrors and looked out at the open road." group-title="Reality", Pluto TV Cars

Which doesnt have the added tvg-chno variable. So maybe it isnt possible without the channels-dvr server or a change to jellyfin to read channel-number?

Just FYI, since this project is a fork of this: GitHub - maddox/pluto-for-channels: 📺 M3U generator optimized for Channels' custom channels.

I won't be changing the Non-Docker source to add the extra elements unless the upstream repo is fixed.

Also, I don't want to get into a cycle supporting clients other than Channels.

Hello Hank,

I am receiving "Connection timed out Error code 522" when I try and connect over 443 to nocords.xyz -- browser, netcat, anything. It pings over layer 3 in about 5ms. I tired a test connection over a VPN, but that is blocked by Cloudflare.

From what I can tell, I stopped pulling the EPG about 6 hours ago.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot my connection to your site? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Retro

Never mind, it seems to be back up. The website says, "Files last updated: Tue, 03 Jun 2025 12:00:04 -0400". Which is over 9 hours ago, so I'm assuming I need to give it time to update its guide data before I can update mine. Thanks for providing this service Hank!

That server is having issues and crashing unexpectedly. I'm really not sure right now what's happening, but it's crashed twice now. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am trying to figure out what's happening.

I'm getting the error: failed to load m3u: failed to retrieve m3u: GET: https://nocords.xyz/pluto/playlist.m3u: 403 Forbidden
and it's not updating anything. Not sure when it went down but it's not updating anymore.

#583

Looks like you have a colon at the end of the URL. Try removing that. If you still get 403 forbidden, DM me your IP address

#584

Ah it was my vpn on my pc. I disabled it and it's working fine.

#587

The ads are in the actual Pluto content, not in the files you are accessing from nocords.xyz

You can't block those ads.

#589

No.

And EITHER post here, OR email me.

DON'T DO BOTH.

I will now stop responding to your deluge of emails/posts.

#593

So?

#594

No. that's not how this works.
