Is anyone having issues? We have tubi, pluto and a localbtv m3u custom channels and all three quit working for some reason...Even our Frndly Custom channel quit working...Curious if anyone else having issues.
Are you still having issues?
I just checked and Pluto, LocalBTV, and Frndly are all working for me.
I don't have Tubi in Channels. How did you get it?
I believe you're both saying that you have integrated LocalBTV into Channels as an m3u source. Please advise how that's done. There are community stations on LocalBTV that I cannot get with my HomerunHD. Thanks!

On the Settings page of the server:
Choose:
Make it look like this:
full URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iptv-org/iptv/master/streams/us_localbtv.m3u
Leave the XMLTV Guide Data blank.
After that, you will have to manually map the guide data for all the channels you are interested in:
Click on the "+" button to the right of a channel to enter the call letters of the channel. Before you start typing for the first channel, click on the gear icon and select "Search All Lineups" (you only need to do this once, this choice is remembered until you change it):
Then type the call letters of the channel and pick the right one that matches. Repeat for all the channels that you are interested in. Not fun but I don't know any other way and that worked for me.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the step-by-step. Got the m3u file to load, but it seems to be NY-Philly stations, not Los Angeles. See screenshot. Any ideas on how to get the Los Angeles stations to populate?

I haven't seen that available as an XML feed. It's worth mentioning that many cities (including LA) don't include the major networks, even direct from LocalBTV. You can log in via the app, or website, and see what channels LocalBTV offers in your zipcode. If an XML feed with other cities exists too, I'd love to know about it!
Sorry, I don't know about other links for other areas.
I guess I'm lucky to be in the NYC area for this to work for me.
There is the other thread that you already know about from which I got this LocalBTV URL.
You might have better luck asking there.
The LA market is available until they figure out things and start blocking people.
I've been using some links that are now displaying error 503
I would suggest using Youtube TV/TVE for main networks.
LocalB TV stuff is available here.
