thanks restarting worked
This is probably a dumb question... but I'm trying to set a series recording for a show on Pluto "90's Kids 2"... Family Double Dare airs each day roughly 11am-2pm and I cannot get it to record items automatically no matter what I try to set in the series recording. Since every episode has the dumb date of December 1, 1969, Channels won't record more than one episode before stopping. I am able to set recordings by going to the guide individually, but I'm looking for something more automatic. Is there a way to set this to record a series show that doesn't have episode info like this one?
Installed the Jon Maddox container project and its working great. Is there a way to add subtitles?
English is a second language for some of us and having subtitles would be very helpful.
Does the joagomez project include subtitles?
The subtitles are simply a function of the sources in the MP3U file (the MP3U file is just a list of links, no actual content). There's nothing the maddox container can do to add or control the subtitles.
I'm hopeful something applicable will eventually emerge from these sorts of projects:
Channels DVR does not pass the WEBVTT subtitle stream from Pluto through to recordings or clients.
Playing a stream directly from Pluto in VLC here Non-Docker source for PlutoTV m3u playlists and EPG - #487 by chDVRuser
I had to move Channels to a new Win11 server today. I also installed Docker Desktop and reinstalled the Pluto Container.
However, I noticed that the Guide only shows the channels, no guide data. I haven't messed with this container for sometime, so I'm not sure if something has changed?
Don't know what changed, but the guide is now updated/correct. All good!
Is there anyway to get the Channels App on FireTV from dumping the stream after about 20 minutes? It just dumps back out to guide for no reason.
Try running the Channels Beta app and see if that helps.
I know that closed captions can not be recorded from Pluto into Channels. However, could a docker version be built that recorded "Open Captions", where captions were turned on before the stream entered Channels?
@joagomez, just a heads up:
Looks like Pluto is testing requiring log-in for some users. Not sure how this would impact the API, if at all, but wanted to drop an early warning in case it's coming!

Ehh...I only have a few channels using that. I'll just migrate to another FAST source to get them if they implement DRM
No mention of DRM with this (for now), but agree otherwise. The only Pluto station I'm aware of that has DRM is CNN Headlines, but I suppose others on my "Ignore" list could possibly have it as well. Anyway, this article is more warning about requiring a log-in to switch the stations in general.
Guess we'll have to wait and see when/if they go wide with enforcing a login.
I only using around 15 channels enabled from Pluto. Using nocords url source.
And also, about 12 more channels from Pluto CA and UK in the mix to.
Not had any issues with them, so far. Most are just, Top Gear, Star Trek, South Park, and a few kids channels etc. Usual only tune them when nothing else to watch/background noise.
If they go full on, login required, then, i'm sure Channels devs could figure out something to support that perhaps.
ADBTuner perhaps?
Or maybe @joagomez could update his docker image, like he did for tubi (for the SB earlier this year).
Pluto stopped working for me all together recently. 
Would help to know which one of these sources you're using
- maddox container
- joagomez container
- nocords.xyz website Non-Docker source for PlutoTV m3u playlists and EPG
#3 is working for me, which is using #1
And what do you mean by "Pluto stopped working for me" ?
- No channels from the source
- No guide data from the source
- Get error when trying to play channels from the source
