I have the guide refreshing every hour. I have 4 sources setup each with 1 stream. Works well for a while then my better half tells me it is broken. I am not sure about the password. It has not changed and don't change it prior to reloading the M3U's. However, I hope I am using them correctly... They are setup as envars in my docker setup.
You may want to switch over to this one. You only need to setup one source and it will auto switch between 10 different tuners. This is what I am currently using and don't seem to have that issue either.
Thanks, I will give this a try.
I installed this version. I read there is a 10 stream limit by default. Should my source be setup with No stream Limit or 8?
I don't think it matters. It is a hard limit and you will only have one source setup for it. I just left my unlimited as it would be rare to have 10 going at anytime.
Thank you for the reply.
The default is 10 simultaneous streams.
You can change it. If you really think you'll be using more than that.
Here's the link in the Topic thread for that project.

This Topic thread is for the maddox docker.
Here are the three currently available sources

I've been having this same issue since updating to the latest docker image almost daily. I either need to reload the m3u or when that hasn't fixed it, i need to restart the server to get it back.

Hi. jxxaxxys post above to switch to the KineticMan docker seems to have solved my issue. It also has the benefit of only needing one source to support 10 streams. Hope it helps you.
Thanks... I'll give it a try.

Are you running the latest maddox docker version?
You have read about the changes to Pluto limiting streams and requiring an account, right?

well i thought changing to mpeg-ts fixed it, but it's still happening -- it survives some commercials and not others. any other ideas ?
That is an issue even on Pluto's own app. The way the inject ads causes this. One thing that may help is clearing the cache on the channels app.
Is there a chance Channels devs will add a working PlutoTV feature straight into DVR settings, without needing to tinker with additional docker images etc?
No. This is an appropriate use of Custom Channels and community contributions.
Thank you for a quick reply. My skills are not so good that I could configure the new PlutoTV configs, used to use PlutoTV when it didn't require auth + docker etc settings.
I guess I'll just have to learn to live without it for now...
I believe in you that you or anyone else can learn Docker! It's not as daunting as it might seem from the outside, especially with the tools we have now to make it easy peasy. If you were able to get Channels up and running, then you already have 90% of the skills and knowledge necessary.
I'll link to the below because it has all the basics:

If you don't want to go the docker route, you can try the Windows installer.
