Pluto for Channels

1 Like

Trying to build a custom channel for local WeatherNation on Pluto. I can browse and create a channel but it needs text characters entered. F to go to fullscreeen and M to unmute audio. I can create the channel in Channels but can't eliminate the guide on the bottom of the screen. It doesn't seem the Orlando WeatherNation is on any of the Pluto sources. Below is the working stream.

I clicked that link and got "The Truman Show".

Likely Geo Locked. Works for me. But you can see the problem. Guide and muted audio.

Tnx!

Did you get the latest Pluto update?
The version I have here is 1.07

I don't think Jim_FL is using it yet. He's talking about the Pluto website.

All is now resolved. Moved to Docker and now have Orlando WeatherNation. It was in the "local" EPG.

Thanks for the pointer. Just have to delete the old non-docker channels.

Glad to hear you got it working.

For others wondering about the joagomez docker local EPG

It seems local uses geolocation. This seems to provide the local WeatherNation for Orlando. Otherwise, all other channels seem to track.

Yep, and you might also get CBS News Orlando?

There is no such thing as CBS News Orlando. CBS News only has local streams for markets where the network owns the CBS station: NYC, LA, Chicago, Philly, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Miami, Sacramento and Baltimore.

Pluto has a deal for Cox's news streams, so they should get WFTV's news stream.

You're correct. I forgot about the list of cities here Live news stream: Watch CBS News Live – free 24/7 online streaming news from CBS News - Free 24x7 news stream

Yep, Orlando, WFTV, WSB Atlanta, CBS Miami... More than I could ever watch.

Thanks all for pointing me back to the Docker.

Now at v1.08

Package pluto-for-channels (github.com)

Works perfectly. Just remember to restart Channels Clients after loading latest docker.

Thanks!

@joagomez Is there a difference between the files generated by your docker container and Matt's hosted files?

The hosted file is provided online and most likely won't have local content.
Matt has to make sure to add and remove channels manually.
If using the docker container, you won't have to rely on a remotely hosted file to get your Pluto TV.

Ya, I mentioned the files specifically because I already know the benefits of selfhosting.

i try docker pull Package pluto-for-channels · GitHub and receive in synology ssh and receive Using default tag: latest
Error response from daemon: Head "https://ghcr.io/v2/jgomez177/plex-for-channels.git/manifests/latest": denied
I am really having trouble understanding how to load github to synology containers. Would prefer portainer access but cant figure that out either. Are there are basic instructions on importing github packages to synology containers? I have been searching for hours
