I am using Watchtower to update my docker containers on my Synology. I noticed that my jgomez pluto container has not updated in quite a while so I checked out the logs and found the below errors. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Unable to update container "/PlutoForChannels": Error response from daemon: pull access denied for jgomez177/pluto-for-channels, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied. Proceeding to next.

Could not do a head request for "jgomez177/pluto-for-channels:latest", falling back to regular pull. e[33mcontainere[0m=/PlutoForChannels e[33mimagee[0m="jgomez177/pluto-for-channels:latest"

I also tried command line and ran into errors:

If you were running with the image from Docker Hub, that was removed and he's now hosting at GitHub.
Not sure why your pull from GitHub failed, works for me.

You can still use the Maddox Pluto for Channels container, the Hank Lloyd Right website source or the Matt Huisman website source.

_Mike · April 21, 2024, 1:29pm

I made a dumb mistake. I forgot to enter sudo - i to run it with higher privileges. I was able to get the newer version using Terminal once I did that.

radioboy · June 25, 2024, 2:36am

Anyone having trouble getting the Pluto guide to display? I can see it's still pulling/running... but nothing shows up in Channels. I haven't changed my configuration.

chDVRuser · June 25, 2024, 3:03am

I'm seeing 24 hrs of listings using the maddox container

radioboy · June 25, 2024, 3:04am

I see it on the XML, but not within Channels... it's the oddest thing. I haven't changed anything so I'm not sure why the sudden lack of guide info.

chDVRuser · June 25, 2024, 3:08am

Try a Delete and Recreate Database
Settings > Live TV & DVR > Guide Data > Maintenance dropdown

radioboy · June 25, 2024, 3:10pm

Thanks, I'll keep that for the future... but a reboot of my NAS seemed to do the trick!

oxon · June 27, 2024, 9:11pm

Coming across an error and wondering if anyone else has seen it. Not much luck so far searching for it. It looks like one channel on Pluto where I had a pass set up is getting an error of 'could not fetch playlist...no such host'. Pass has worked on this channel as recently as a few days ago and recordings for other Pluto channels are still recording properly without error. Tried deleting and adding the M3U and Guide links again. Also tried stopping, removing, repulling, and rerunning through docker. Thanks!

MikeBear · June 28, 2024, 9:09pm

Can you just click on the channel LIVE from the guide, and will it play that way? If not, there's something wrong with the .m3u link. Try the link in VLC Media Player, and see if it'll play there.

oxon · June 28, 2024, 11:15pm

Hi there! Recordings (despite the error) and attempts to view the show live all result in a 30 second clip of a different show (but always the same clip and show).. Other channels from the same source play as expected. Could you clarify which m3u link (master one in the source settings, the url in the error log, or another)? Master did play something. Second said there was no playable media at the url provided..

chDVRuser · June 29, 2024, 2:05am

Which Pluto channel are you having an issue with

oxon · June 29, 2024, 2:51am

It's the Dora TV channel in the kids sub-category.

chDVRuser · June 29, 2024, 3:06am

Playing here using maddox docker source

oxon · June 29, 2024, 3:33am

Hmmm. And it appears to be showing the show that's listed (and not the same 30 second clip on repeat)? If that's the case, I appreciate you checking. I'll have to try removing everything and adding it again to see if I accidentally did something along the way.

chDVRuser · June 29, 2024, 6:15pm

The url for that channel as found inside the playlist.m3u

Download that playlist.m3u and open it in a text editor
Use this url I highlited in VLC

Also check what the channel plays at https://pluto.tv
If it's bad there, contact Pluto

oxon · June 30, 2024, 3:58am

Thank you for the clarification. I was able to locate the line on my end and it looks to match up. It won't play, saying it may be unsupported or corrupted. The channel does work on the Pluto site and app. I appreciate you taking the time to help. It's more a mild inconvenience than anything, so I'll try playing around with things some more later to rule out something I'm doing or accidentally did. Take care!

Fofer · June 30, 2024, 4:12pm

A fresh install, Pluto local is up and running via docker, thanks so much @joagomez!

I just noticed that when using this handy bookmarklet for channel management, the default format .m3u is not showing category tags:

They showed previously though, when I'd been using the nocords.xyz and i.mjh.nz methods.

I was able to get these category tags to display however, by switching from the default .m3u to the "maddox compatibility" .m3u instead.

Just curious but what's the benefit of the default or i.mjh.nz m3u over this one?
