Canada is available in the joagomez docker
What would it take to add France? Not possible?
France has been included in the latest update - along with optimizations offered up by another contributor stewartcampbell
Wow! Merci ! (Thank you!)
How many channels are you seeing with the jgomez docker? I'm only seeing 428, so wondering if I'm doing something wrong? If it has all of the other countries, shouldn't there be more?
I'm using the container from here
Pluto TV Local: 414 channels
Pluto TV France: 130 channels
Pluto TV UK: 177 channels
Pluto TV Canada: 222 channels
They each have their own playlists + EPG and you need to create separate sources for them.
Thanks, is it a seperate container in docker for each country, or just a separate source in channels dvr for each country. Sorry for all of the questions, I’m not an expert on this, and surprised I even got docker running in the first place!

Ok, and how do I get the links for the individual countries to set up the sources?
I installed docker from GitHub, and used the link to retrieve the playlist and EPG. Below are the links that gave me the 434 US channels
http://127.0.0.1:8080/playlist.m3u
http://127.0.0.1:8080/epg.xml
For Canada Channels, I tried editing to
http://127.0.0.1:8080/pluto/ca/playlist.m3u
http://127.0.0.1:8080/pluto/epg/ca/epg-ca.xml
and then installing a source and I'm getting this error. invalid source url: failed to retrieve m3u: GET: http://127.0.0.1:8080/pluto/ca/playlist.m3u: 404 Not Found
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Try visiting the link page in a browser.
You should use something like 192.168.x.xx:(your-PORT)
for instance for my docker i'm using http://192.168.0.42:7777
Visit the page and right click on the link for the country you wish to view.
I don't use his version, but if I did I would use the instructions here GitHub - jgomez177/pluto-for-channels
and then use the urls the container gives you as pictured here Pluto for Channels - #746 by Rojma
You probably didn't set the ENV VAR PLUTO_CODE=
correctly
And it looks like he just added France Pluto for Channels - #751 by joagomez
I may have figured out my potential issue - I've been running the maddox version of pluto, am I able to have the jgomez version running at the same time? When I go to the link in a browser to try and find the playlists, it takes me to maddox. I also got this error when trying to reinstall
Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/pluto-for-channels" is already in use by container "67b6dce9c8268323864e3c57458f599f9913df24abdfa6e1973dcb09f481f04c". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.
I'm hesitant to delete it so I don't lose my favorites.
Docker basics.
You can't run two docker containers using the same container name
. You need to rename one.
Same as you can't run two docker containers using the same host port
. You need to change one.
Then use a different container name for the new one you're trying to create,
like pluto-for-channels-jg
thanks, got it working now, after I stopped the maddox docker, and started the jgomez. I was able to get the page with all of the different country playlists. The original maddox source that I've had for a couple years still works as well - my guess is maybe that source info pulls from the jgomez docker as well?
How did you manage to get both the maddox and jgomez containers to run at the same time using the same container name?
If the maddox container is stopped, you'll run out of guide data on your custom M3U channel source that uses it.
I think I spoke too soon, I did a restart of my computer, and the maddox docker and channels from that source were no longer there.
But one thing I noticed is the jgomez docker didn't start automatically after my computer restarted - has anyone else experienced this? I thought it was set to automatically restart. The maddox docker always restarted automatically with no issue.
I was able to get everything working and container restarts. But noticed this morning that the guide information didn’t update. I have it set to refresh every hour. I had to manually refresh the guide and it updated. Is there a reason why this wouldn’t happen automatically?
Is there an option to combine playlists of different countries into one?
There doesn't seem to be any option to do it directly in Docker but @joagomez is the best person to confirm it.
As a workaround, you can create a channel collection.
No.
But it wouldn't work if you could. Channels DVR limits the channels per custom m3u playlist to 750.
