Just did the latest pull and it still is showing 1.2.1 is available.
Sounds like you didn’t pull the latest.
Thanks for 1.21. Just pulled it.
Can someone recommend a show I can check for the season and episode number, or how can I check to see the new version number 1.21? Thanks.

Thanks. Price is Right shows Season and episode number correctly.
I figured out how to install Docker and Pluto for channels component but could someone walk me thru how to setup or configure pluto-for-channels-main container once its running on NAS?
Thank you
If you already pulled the container, you can run it with:
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name pluto-for-channels -p 8080:80 jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels
as has been posted by @maddox already and is on the docker hub page as well as the github repo for the container.
https://hub.docker.com/r/jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels
the container requires no futher setup. Channels setup requires you to add the source URLs for the m3u and epg.
I'm logged on to Synology NAS and looking at Docker, the container is already running, do I still need to do the cmd line?
instructions state,
You can retrieve the playlist and EPG via the status page.
http://127.0.0.1:8080
Should that the IP address of my NAS? Sorry if sound confused. Docker container running. Just unclear what to do next?
It runs on port 80 in the docker container. But the run command I posted above maps it to 8080 on your NAS IP.
I would stop the container. Then run it with the command posted. Then connect to your NAS IP on port 8080.
If my NAS is on 8089 should I change it? Thank you
Used Putty to login to my NAS:
admin@Andromeda:/$ docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name pluto-for-channels -p 8080:80 jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels
docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.39/containers/create?name=pluto-for-channels: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.
See 'docker run --help'.
Suggestions?
you set up the container. It should be using bridge network with a mapped port. Then you connect to your NAS IP + the port in your configuration. If you don't know what you are doing, then stop your container in the GUI and run the shell command that was posted. You might need sudo depending on how your NAS is setup.
add a sudo:
sudo docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name pluto-for-channels -p 8080:80 jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels
make sure you stopped the container in the GUI first.
Once your container is running with the above command, you can connect using a web browser to the NAS IP:8080
Thank you, it works! 
Can you advise what I enter for XMLTV Guide data entry box?
You put the epg url there. Set it to refresh every 3 hours.
ex: http://yourip:8080/epg.xml
if you NAS running docker is also your DVR, http://localhost:8080/epg.xml should work too.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I get 403 forbidden when I click on epg or playlist. Some logs:-

Is there any way to exclude certain channels from showing up in the guide on Channels DVR? If so, how do you do that?
In the Channels DVR web admin page, click here:
...and then scroll through the channels and check this icon on channels you DON'T want:
