Down again? Nothing working here.

Maybe add the container log to the issue?

#289

I don't have a login but I'm sure somebody else does, based on past history she'll get it fixed pretty quick.

It's pretty easy to override the default PBS channel in prismcast to get your local working, I added the details as a comment to the prism thread.

#290

Yep, I quit using the VLC Bridge container since I can get my Local one from PrismCast.

#291

Looks like docker logs have been added to the issue.

#292

I'm considering doing the same. A single channel may be the only Prismcast task my Synology can handle.

#293

From what I can tell, @miibeez hasn't been active on GitLab for over 6 months. I hope that she's ok...

#294

Oh, that's not good but that was the last time we had a problem so who knows.

So based on this post, is there a way to get the actual URLs that we could plug into prismcast to get multiple PBS channels via Chrome? Assuming that PBS feeds is dead of course.

#295

I went to the station website, rightclicked on the video and selected 'Inspect', found the video link, opened in a new tab, and copied the link.

I'm having varying success with Prism in linux so I hope this technique is fixed soon.

#297

Thanks I'm dumb, I already have videodownloadhelper extension installed on Chrome I could have used that lol.

I'll hold off for another week and see if Millie puts in a fix.

So far PBS in prism on Windows has been working pretty well.

#298

From the error logs it looks like PBS has blocked the anonymous login port and enabled DRM across the board. Another casualty to the DRM we want your money machine.

#299

Paging @miibeez

Any fixes?

#300

DRM already was implemented, but the container was working... around... it. I believe it can be updated to deal with the recent changes, but without access to the source code to know how it was done, we're basically starting at square one unless the original developer decides to come back and modify.

I am looking into something, but no promises, especially any time soon.

I think this is dead now, sadly. We always knew that it was a single person supporting it and it looks like she's moved on. Maybe someday we'll get another implementation but right now my local PBS is working fine with prismcast.

I'll miss my other regional channels but it is what it is.

#302

Well if someone can grab the code and see what changed.
Solved pbs on this end. DRM kills stuff all the time.
