I get BBC World News through Pluto #3 source, and lately I've seen random cases where a BBC News show that I record in the morning will not play. The recording is corrupted somehow, playback just goes to the end and will not play from the beginning at all. You can see the video image onscreen but that's it. Played fine this morning but not the previous two days.
I mostly use DW News as my non-US source so it's not a big deal, but Lucy Hockings has always been my coffee time eye candy lol.
Thanks for this! I got it fixed though. It wasn't an issue with my first foray into docker but was invloved with the mounting on my 2TB USB drive. Channels was still able to access but there was as error with the mount within Ubuntu. I wouldn't have figured it out but after lots of docker troubleshooting and it appearing to be working, I disabled the server and got an error when trying to re-enable. Once I corrected the issue with the NTFS mount (I brought the drive over from windows and have things I don't want to lose) then everything worked fine! Yay!
Newbie question: generally what Pluto channels (or features) are opened up by generating M3U files locally beyond the 395 available through TVE?
Side note: I haven't really waded through everything there, but today I searched for "Cincinnati" in Channels and discovered "TennisChannel 2" in Pluto was providing live coverage of the tournament. I haven't been that impressed with the sports offerings (F1, Golf, etc.) so that was a nice surprise.
Go to pluto.tv and look at the stations. Generally, all of them can be made available in Channels, although a few have DRM. FAST providers like Pluto, Plex, Samsung TV+, Tubi, and the rest are totally different than the cable-like stations available through TVE.
I just had a news item in my feed earlier saying Paramount+ and Pluto were going to be merged into 1 app. This cant be good for us...
The article is an AI written rehash/massive speculation of a talking point from an interview with the new owners of Paramount from a week ago. Discussed here:
Hi... I cannot get the pluto or stirr links to work with tivimate
You should probably ask on a tivimate forum.
Pluto and Samsung TV Plus work just fine for me on TiviMate.
If you're running the jgomez docker version, check the environment variable PLUTO_CODE= which defines what countries will be available. Channels DVR will only grab the first 750 channels.

Okay I do have that enabled, it just started doing this, I have added and removed the source. I installed it from OliveTin. Still no luck.
According to your Custom M3U Channel setting
The Pluto TV (UK) channels will start at 7673 in your guide
Not 7625
If you have multiple custom m3u sources and you use a start channel number in the settings, I find it best to separate them by 1000 to prevent overlap (limit 750 per source).
i.e.
Source 1 1-1000
Source 2 1001-2000
Source 3 2001-3000

Anyone having issues with Pluto not working today? It was working fine overnight but when I went to stream something I just get the "Connection Lost" message no matter which channel I try. I have restarted everything and the standalone PlutoTV app on my Andriod TV boxes all connect and stream without any issues.
Is there someplace to see any errors that are generated to help in troubleshooting the issue? When I look in Docker at the log for instance it just shows Success at the end of loading and no errors.
Not working for me. Have been using nocords.xyz forever...
Edit: Pluto app on Android is not working for me either. "We're having trouble playing this title" error...
Edit: Works now.
I got that the 1st time I tried the app but then it started working (and is still working currently).
Edit: Spoke too soon, after exiting the app it no longer connects so it looks to be a Pluto issue.
Back to working again!
Looks like Pluto is now requiring account log in on some live channels. Hoping for a docker update to allow us to log in.
Some more recent detail to add to what I posted a couple of months ago about this and others started talking about going back six months now...
From the article:
Paramount has emphasized that this is not a full lockdown; unregistered users retain broad access to the catalog, and the restrictions vary by region and device as part of an A/B test. Early feedback... highlights frustration, with many describing the prompts as intrusive pop-ups that interrupt channel surfing. Some report the limitation appearing inconsistently, affecting Roku devices more frequently than mobile apps, leading to speculation about phased rollouts.
Thus, it sounds like it's all still in flux and different depending on who and where you are, which might make it difficult to implement a universal solution. Still, it'll require a way to login through the API, which I'll turn to @joagomez to confirm if its a possibility right now.
