I get a failure message when I select re-pull image after selecting recreate. I stopped the image first.

I go into the stack editor to update the stack

Anyone have any success getting the PBS kids feed this way by finding the channel id?

As of v2025.04.14.1925 of Playlist Manager for Channels (a Streaming Library Manager extension), you can now automatically add all available PBS Stations to Channels DVR. Read about the details on the Wiki, including instructions for those who'd rather manually create and manage their own m3u's instead of letting PLM do it for them:

Please note, this is NOT a replacement for @miibeez's excellent VLC Bridge PBS, but a supplement to it. That tool is still a requirement to use this feature.

Also, to be clear, this is being made available to make sure you can easily get the stations you are legally entitled to have in your market. It is well documented that using cellular and satellite providers messes with geolocations, and this resolves that issue. Please set the other stations you do not need to Ignore! :grin:

There's no geolocation issue I've seen with pbs, you can use whatever stations you want as listed upthread. I have like five of them setup.

So kind of like rtfm, huh? Nice. :rage:

geolocation used to work for my local station based on my Inet IP.
it no longer works correctly since my Inet IP changed.
and I'm not using a VPN.

I'm still confused then, because there's no geo issue with the station specific URLs here. Are you on sat or cell IP?

Edit: nvm I scrolled back and see that you're using the playlist URL. The only change I've seen with specific URLs is the occasional logo update but that's not a playback thing.

Correct, I was using the playlist URL from the container until it gave me the wrong station.
Am now using the station specific URL for my local station.
My TVE ABC station also changed because of my new Inet IP, but CBS and FOX still show my local stations.

Nothing so crass or mean-spirited, let me see if I can try again with a little help...

But anyway, reading the manual would help in this case, too, because you seem to have a severe misunderstanding of what was just released, focusing on an extremely unimportant (and frankly irrelevant) element. If I can redirect your attention to this:

Yeah nothing so crass and mean spirited, and then you link stuff that makes you look like a jerk.

Come on man, there's no call for this. It was a simple misunderstanding or whatever and like you said it was a small point. I didn't even bash you or anything. There's no reason to sneer at those you consider beneath you.

Damn I set this all up for someone that needs captioning.

Looks like I just have to set up a prime and hope I can get some type of signal from an antenna.

Looks like this is broken again, anyone else? Worked fine yesterday. Kinda wonder if this is just an expired cert thing since it's happened before.

I see it too. Same error that was fixed 8 months ago.

Same here, tried building again from latest, guess need to wait on update :frowning:

The developer of the docker will need to apply the fix.
Alternatively you will need to get an alternative source fo ryour pbs station.
