Doing a complete rework of the code - please be patient

Let the fun begin....
Complete revamp of the code
Check plex-for-channels/README.md at main · jgomez177/plex-for-channels · GitHub
Big things to note is
- New web interface
- PLEX_PORT is changed to PORT (for future integration of other projects)
- PLEX_CODE is gone - URL "regions" parameter now used for different geo locations
- Regions can now be integrated into a single playlist - so regions=local,ca would provide a single playlist that integrates the two geo locations
- One single EPG for all geolocations in use
- Updated error handling and other internal modifications

plex-for-channels/README.md at main · jgomez177/plex-for-channels · GitHub is showing PLEX_PORT for the docker-cli
Running
The recommended way of running is to pull the image from GitHub.
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --network=host -e PLEX_PORT=[your_port_number_here] --name plex-for-channels ghcr.io/jgomez177/plex-for-channels

How long should it take until it has todays EPG?
Looks like it fetched tomorrows twice, but not todays.
Ahh, maybe Collect data for 2025-02-15 means UTC time.

Looks like 22.5 minutes
I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for your hard work!
@bnhf, will the Olivetin Project One-Click action be updated to run this new Plex for Channels version 4.0?
May be an issue for one click install if Channels can't access the lineup and EPG as soon as the docker container is created.
2025/02/14 19:50:08.828224 [ERR] Failed to download XMLTV-PlexNoEpg: xmltv fetch: GET: http://192.168.1.3:7781/plex/epg.xml: 404 NOT FOUND: "XML Being Generated Please Standby"
Correct times are UTC - your pull times seem high as mine do not take quite as long, usually under 60 seconds per 100 stations - but their API is very inefficient and seems to throttle as more calls are done. I wish I could find a group API instead of by channel but haven't located it yet.
This is only one that has to be done one-by-one unlike Tubi and Pluto which programming can be pulled in batches

Thanks for doing all the work on this update

Yes, definitely. I've been working on it a bit this morning, but won't have a chance to publish until late today or tomorrow morning.
Similar issue for me. Memory usage grew by over 1GB -- so had to shut it down. Memory leak?
working on it found an issue
@chDVRuser and @bnhf
Can you try the following image?
ghcr.io/jgomez177/plex-for-channels:multi_thread_test
You may want to also add a volume parameter
--volume <your_path>:/app/data
So far, memory usage better. Although the plex and pluto containers use the most.
Have about 4 hours of guide data now.

Don't know what to make of it. I still don't have any guide data past 4pm and it's 12:42pm (20:42 UTC) now. Guess that's because 4pm here is 2025-02-16T00:00 UTC time and is hasn't fetched guide data for 2025-02-16. Wonder when it will?
This image only collects one day of data
I have to go back and fix other items based on the new API collection methods. This image was only to ensure the pulls were much faster and did not generate the same memory leaks

Ahh, OK. Will wait on the new version.
Do you have a temp directory you're using that I could volume map and maybe reduce the container RAM usage?
