Pluto for Channels

Put the m3u url in your browser, it will download. Then open it with a text editor and edit it as you see fit. Paste it in the custom channel text pane.

Of course the easiest is to create a channel collection. 99.99999% easier than this.

DUH! Sorry, I didn't even see there was a text field option where the URL goes. Sorry. I think I get what you are saying and will try that out. Thanks!

@maddox Do you think you can add EXCLUDE_CATEGORIES environment variable.

"EXCLUDE_CATEGORIES=Kids,En Español,Music,Gaming + Anime, Etc"
This would be great!

@chDVRuser thats great but the original question for was for their to be a category selector function added to the docker to hwlp with the unwanted programs.

I'm just another paying Channels DVR user, like you. One of the developers would have to do it.
The only mods I've made to my Pluto-4-Channels docker container are for logging and having it loop every hour to fetch the EPG.

Has anyone been noticing issues with the Pluto channels? None of them seem to be working for me anymore.The guide data seems fine but I get unable to fetch playlist when trying to play a channel. I did just add ESPN+ about a week ago but that is the only thing on my end that has changed.

Couldn't generate stream playlist for ch0-dANY-ip127.0.0.1: M3U: Could not fetch playlist: cfd-v4-service-channel-stitcher-use1-1.prd.pluto.tv: Get "https://cfd-v4-service-channel-stitcher-use1-1.prd.pluto.tv/stitch/hls/channel/612fea0e970e6f00083be56b/master.m3u8?advertisingId=&appName=web&appStoreUrl=&appVersion=unknown&architecture=&buildVersion=&clientTime=0&deviceDNT=0&deviceId=a6a4555a-7022-11ee-964a-ac87a301630f&deviceMake=Chrome&deviceModel=web&deviceType=web&deviceVersion=unknown&includeExtendedEvents=false&serverSideAds=true&sid=fb3067d9-1d68-4152-a36c-4dd1dcf7444a&userId=": dial tcp: lookup cfd-v4-service-channel-stitcher-use1-1.prd.pluto.tv: no such host

Your DVR server is having DNS problems.
What happens when you
ping cfd-v4-service-channel-stitcher-use1-1.prd.pluto.tv

Check your DVR web UI Support > Troubleshooting to see if any errors there

Thank you that fixed it. It would have taken me forever to figure that out! Was having issues last week getting my local FOX station to work via TVE so I was trying to mess with that. Changed the DNS back to the default and now all is good.

Any ideas why Pluto for Channels is getting an ssl handshake error during EPG fetching?

Happened last Saturday and this morning, both at 16:00 UTC.
I have it fetch EPG every hour, and these are the only two so far.

I'm hoping to add pluto-for-channels to Channels. I understand the gist of it is going to be like when I added Frndly.tv, but this doesn't seem to be quite as simple. I went to

https://github.com/maddox/pluto-for-channels

and I've gotta admit it wasn't clear to me exactly how to follow the steps provided. They seem to be fairly general in nature.

I downloaded the "Code" and extracted it, but I don't see what I expected would be an "image". Is it the "package.json" file? Is there somewhere I'm supposed to put it so Docker can find it?

I opened Windows PowerShell and ran

docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name pluto-for-channels -p 8080:80 johnmaddox/pluto-for-channels

Not surprisingly, it wasn't going to be that simple. I got the response

Unable to find image 'johnmaddox/pluto-for-channels:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for johnmaddox/pluto-for-channels, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied.
See 'docker run --help'.

I don't remember having to log in to Docker to install Frndly.tv, so I'm figuring the "image" has to be somewhere locally where Docker can find it. Right?

Try that?

Or try this -- much easier:

I thought that's what I did.

I've been using Docker for Frndlytv for over a year. The biggest issue I had in setting that up was getting USERNAME and PASSWORD syntax correct, lol.

I don't know what is meant by "Copy the link on the right side (docker pull jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels)", and I'm certain that is where I got lost. From the drop-down when clicking on Code, there is a URL with a copy button next to it, but it just links to that page on GitHub.

Is there another link you're referring to?

YOu can also do the non docker version that Hank mentioned. It's easier. I moved from the Maddox one to that.
Andyes, I was referring to that post and the pull.Copy the whole docker pull command and then the docker run command

Follow this. Run from a windows CMD prompt (may need an admin CMD prompt), not powershell.

Before I saw HankLloydRight's reply, I changed the port to the one I use for frndlytv and the pulls were successful.

However, it doesn't seem to have completed properly as at the end of the feedback was

...docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint pluto-for-channels (69595319a2f0969974c347e5d3d3bb98f89bfd1a72c6ced28661c3f46c588254): Bind for 0.0.0.0:8183 failed: port is already allocated.

Does this mean I need to insert the IP address of the host PC?

You can't use the same port that your Frndly docker is using.
