Hmmm making me question the logic now since I based mine off of Maddox

#806

I see the issue and its present in the screenshot by as well as the json.

The EPG is marking the episode as type of "live": and the logic does not include Season/Episode data in the XMLTV output when its marked as "Live" because its supposed to be a Live broadcast.
It's noted with the "Live" tag in the screenshot of what is displayed in Channels

The current logic adds Season/Episode data when type is "tv" so will look to change that logic in a future update

Ahh, because Pluto says it's a live broadcast.

That tag as well but also type in the "series"

"series": {
                        "_id": "65666a8a20854800140c4820",
                        "name": "Little House on the Prairie",
                        "slug": "little-house-on-the-prairie-live-epg",
                        "type": "live",

Makes me wonder if anything on Pluto is actually "Live", besides some news and sports channels.

#810

They used to show NCAA Big Sky conference games a few years ago, but sure if anything is "live" now

#811

Updated to check programs marked as Live

Isn't Big Brother live?

#813

I guess I wasn't as clear as I should've been. When I said

"get more show info in the ChannelsDVR guide grid"

I really did mean "in the grid", not above, as your arrow points.

#814

That "live" flag in Pluto's API just means that the channel originates from a linear source instead of something created on the fly from VOD clips hosted on Pluto's servers.

That’s what they changed it to but wasn’t always the case

#816

That is how Channels has decided to display the information. You would need to bring that up with the developers

#817

Thanks, I suspected that but wanted to have someone "in the know" verify it. Having that info in the grid like Tivimate makes scrolling much easier on my eyes for some reason.

#818

Mostly correct, but it depends on the channel

#819

You can combine multiple M3u's into one using an IPTV proxy like xTeVe.

#820

You'd probably want non-abandonedware version of that in Threadfin BTW

#821

Accessing Pluto via Docker. Can get all channels, except CNN Headline News. Anyone else see this and know a solution?

#822

Do you mean "CNN HEADLINES" ?
Works with the jgomez docker container (even though there's no guide data now).
Which docker container are you using, jon maddox or jgomez?
Unfortunately, they're both mixed up in this thread that was started by Jon Maddox.

#823

@joagomez
Your Pluto guide data is stale

Latest start time I see is start="20241024180000 +0000
But right now it's                20241024224700 +0000

Not seeing the issue. But then I did restart all my containers recently.
What do the logs say
