The container is holding on to old stale guide data!

Two symptoms

  1. Increasing counts of airings and skipped (stale) airings

  1. Increasing container memory usage

Here's the oldest airing in the XML guide data. Time corresponds to the first fetch when the container was started.

Thanks, forgot to purge old data and just piling on...
will correct that

#620

@joagomez Is PLUTO_CODE=all correct to explicitly set it to "all available"

Edit: Never mind, I see it now in the docs -- temporary brain freeze.

I saw the documentation, but there's also supposed to be an "all" option. Usually something like that can be set explicitly, rather than only in the absence of other settings.

#623

Where did you see that?

#624

Looking at it again though, maybe it's a comma separated list that includes everything shown in the doc, as opposed to something like "all":

PLUTO_CODE=us_east,us_west,local,ca,uk

Or some subset of the above? Not sure why you'd want all of them, but maybe one region and local?

#625

Doh, I see it now, it's a comma separated list shown right in the default box in the docs.

Because v1.04 Last Updated: Feb 23, 2024 is hard coded in the included pywsgi.py

          <section class="section">\
            <div class="container">\
              <h1 class="title">\
                {provider.capitalize()} Playlist\

Well now ‘all’ option would be way too logical
Of course I made all as default as that’s the way I did it initially

#628

shhh - quit finding my mistakes! :slightly_smiling_face:
No seriously though appreciate all the feedback and that folks are actually using what I put out there

Does the Pluto for Channels have the additional URL parameter for the gracenote=include/exclude or is that just available on the Plex and Tubi for Channels dockers?

#632

Not at this point

#633

I don't think it would do any good, since the EPG comes from Pluto and none (if any) of their channels have a gracenote station id.

Gracenote does have accurate listings for many of the channels that originate from linear streams, including the Nickelodeon Pluto and CBS News channels, but not the self programmed "stitched" channels that are created via VOD clips like MTV Pluto, BET Pluto or No Parents Allowed. Gracenote does have placeholder entries for some of those "stitched" channels, but the listings are just generic blocks of the channel's name.

Trying to build a custom channel for local WeatherNation on Pluto. I can browse and create a channel but it needs text characters entered. F to go to fullscreeen and M to unmute audio. I can create the channel in Channels but can't eliminate the guide on the bottom of the screen. It doesn't seem the Orlando WeatherNation is on any of the Pluto sources. Below is the working stream.
