Pluto for Channels

On which client device? Can you submit diagnostics after this happens.

CCWGTV, didn't test on TS4K+, but thinking it might be the same. I've had the same issue on the web in the past, but haven't re-tested that, either.

This is a known issue with the shared techzyon m3u. It means someone else using that m3u tuned into the same station and hijacked your session.

This is fixed in v2021.04.07.1734

Concur, this looks like it was working in a quick test.

Hmmmm... aside from going the Docker route, is there something else I can do? If I switched to the i.mjh.nz one, would it make a difference or would it have the same issue?

Can you share a bit on what this series of changes is doing?

It improves handling of EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY in our HLS client.

I have installed docker and pluto tv. When I reboot my computer, I see that the container is running in docker, but I have to go into Channels DVR and reload the M3U to get the Pluto Channels to populate. I'm running on a Windows 10 PC. Is there something I missing that is preventing Channels from automatically starting Pluto?

I have the same issue. I use channels with emby so I always reload the stream in channels & then update live TV in emby.

I also noticed I’m not getting VEVO 2k channel. I’m getting 295 channels. Anyone else missing this channel?

I'm missing it now too. It was there just a few days ago. Also discussed in the "MTV Classic" thread here.

No longer seeing Vevo2k, but I do have a "007" channel now.

Any thoughts? Not using docker, just pc, all works except recently the stream selected (let’s say 007) plays for about 10 secs Jen gets connection lost error. I can deselected from guide and randomly it will hold on to it... this is specific to Pluto channels (using techzon streams )... when I first added it worked fine.. but guide would have to be manually updated (yes I used refresh every 3/6/24 hrs) well that issue solved on its own but now (say last few weeks) stream issue... I check Pluto tv app and it all works just fine.. any thoughts?

If you’re using a shared playlist found online, chances are someone else is trying to access the same stream, closing your connection when they open theirs. This has been mentioned numerous times in the thread.

You could try the Stylebot chrome extension. It allows you to customize the CSS for any site. Works only locally though and would change only the Web UI. An ambitious user could theoretically change the whole look on the guide.

This will get you a gray background behind the logos, for instance:

.list-group-item.guide-channel-cell {
background: lightgray;
}

I updated to the latest beta version, and can now see Vevo 2k.

I didn't change anything, and that channel came back for me, too. Glad it's working again.

OK, I've now installed the Docker on my Pi (not Channels server) and moved everything to point at that. There was no one else watching anything so I could run the test. When a Pluto Channel (The Pet Collective) went to commercial, it just turned all black and then never came back. Submitted diagnostic 9fad5184-2566-4094-b7d7-c3cbda52fa8b

Update your dvr to prerelease. You're running in bugs that were fixed recently.

Yep, Version 2021.04.20.1934 so far seems good. I was on a version from 2021.04.06 before.
