Thanks
I've tried adding Gracenote ID information before. Problem was that many of them were not correct with what was actually playing or had generic data and not the actual programming data.
This was a while back and if you have confirmed the data I can look to adding gracenote IDs to the container
what is the proper way to update the docker container i already have installed? i'm on version 1.11 and i want to get to the latest update.
Install Portainer Olivetin and watchtower.
Most of them, I can confirm. Others tho, I only looked up the names using olivetin and found it
I'm looking for a way to record a nightly show on Pluto and was sent here as a possible way to do it. Okay, this is all new to me, so before I sign up and start down the rabbit hole of getting everything working, is it possible to record off live Pluto at a set time each night?
First, welcome! 
Yes. 
Channels DVR offers a generous 30-day free trial so you have time to get things going to try. 
You will find plenty of helpful people in these forums.
I have signed up and installed the server on a windows PC I have running 24/7 (media is stored on a terra master nas I have running)
I found the jgomez177 pluto-for-channels, and now I will show my ignorance. I have no idea how to run the docker instructions.
First step:
Learning how to use Docker is a good start, but while you're doing that, use the easier no-container method described here: Non-Docker source for PlutoTV and Stirr m3u playlists and EPG
All you do is add a new "Custom Channels" source in the Sources section of Channels Web Settings interface. Mine looks like this:
You WILL want to learn how to use Docker containers for other goodies you'll find around this community, and it's easy to get rusty when you haven't for a while. Ask me how I know 
Wow that was easy - Thank you!
@joagomez Ran out of guide data again. No errors or exceptions in the container log this time.
Container stopped updating guide data, but don't see any errors and container is still running

Any console commands I should run inside the container before I restart it?
Just restarted the container. Was using 231MB Ram and 0.45% CPU
2 hours after restarting it's using 257MB Ram and 0.55% CPU. Not much change.
Thinking of running a cron job to restart the container every week or two.
I have the docker working running on my synology but I can't get the custom channels to load the playlist.m3u or epg.xml. I had this running for years and recently I changed my IP address of my nas but I was able to get it running again. I noticed a few days ago that I don't have the 'Record' button for Pluto channels. I tried to setup the playlist and epg again and now I get this message: invalid source url: Get "https://192.168.130.2:8080/playlist.m3u": dial tcp 192.168.130.2:8080: connect: connection refused.
I need help setting this up again.
Updated image (version 1.20) with new monitoring thread to ensure scheduler is running along with additional logs to track status (monitoring thread runs every 15 minutes with scheduler set to run every 2 hours, was 4 hrs)
I would ensure you have the latest image (now 1.20) and ensure you are publishing port 8080 (per your post) with -p 8080:7777 or -e PLUTO_PORT=8080 -p 8080:8080
I just re-downloaded Channels dVR today from their site and uploaded to DSM but it is ver. 1.10. where do I get the latest version from? an not sure how to do the second part. oh I and I deleted the old image in docker container and setup the latest one.
Are there setup instruction that I could use to start from the beginning? I set this up years ago and it worked fine. I have looked all around and tried everything I have seen here but I'm still unable to setup the Custom Channels to point to the playlist or epg. I am a newly
I don’t use olivetin and I don’t think the person that submitted the question does either
