working fine here. It is only a 6 hr guide though.
You need to set the direct url to refresh every 1 hr.

The .m3u8 files appear to be empty.

Matt just fixed it 10 days ago. I can see why he says what he did

I've lost all Plex channels. Is there a new M3U file to get these back?

And it's broke again...

That explains it, they ran out of money. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Just kidding, I know that you meant "it's broken". :wink:

#28

And now it's back. I wonder if they are making changes in the morning and close off the access?

#29

The playlist is kind o ffun to play with but would probably want a stable source.

#30

The m3u has now ballooned over 500 channels with a lot of duplicates. Is there a Docker option for Plex?

#31

Hmmm. Mine's at 444. Using https://i.mjh.nz/Plex/us.m3u8

Confirmed here too:

Ok, I've been using the Plex/all.m3u8. I didn't know there were others. Thanks for the info!

Yea, noticed that the other day, too. @matthuisman, in the "all" m3u, almost every station is listed twice now; started about a week ago. Like @Fofer, I just changed to the "US" one and issue resolved. I know Plex is a POA for you, so don't want to discourage it's existence by complaining or anything!

all.m3u8 adds all unique ids from all playlists (currently CA and US)
CA just enabled most of their channels.

example
USA 123GO!
the ID / URL = 5e20b730f2f8d5003d739db7-63eecb32ac23d1ee072087cb.m3u8

CA 123GO!
the ID / URL = 647f8d22a2fc3fadb4721685-63eecb32ac23d1ee072087cb.m3u8

So it appears they are different streams (I suspect just adverts are different)
{country id} - {channel id}

I have just updated the code that generates the all.m3u8 to use ID by splitting on - and taking the 2nd section. Therefore, both the above would now be detected as the same channel for all.m3u8
Itll just take whichever shows first (USA)

The EPG for Plex has not updated for a few days.

Looks like only the gzipped xml files updated. You can use that one (https://i.mjh.nz/Plex/us.xml.gz).
Index of /Plex/

Never mind, even though the gzipped files are newer, the guide data is stale.
