Coming across an error and wondering if anyone else has seen it. Not much luck so far searching for it. It looks like one channel on Pluto where I had a pass set up is getting an error of 'could not fetch playlist...no such host'. Pass has worked on this channel as recently as a few days ago and recordings for other Pluto channels are still recording properly without error. Tried deleting and adding the M3U and Guide links again. Also tried stopping, removing, repulling, and rerunning through docker. Thanks!
Can you just click on the channel LIVE from the guide, and will it play that way? If not, there's something wrong with the .m3u link. Try the link in VLC Media Player, and see if it'll play there.
Hi there! Recordings (despite the error) and attempts to view the show live all result in a 30 second clip of a different show (but always the same clip and show).. Other channels from the same source play as expected. Could you clarify which m3u link (master one in the source settings, the url in the error log, or another)? Master did play something. Second said there was no playable media at the url provided..
Which Pluto channel are you having an issue with
It's the Dora TV channel in the kids sub-category.
Playing here using maddox docker source
Hmmm. And it appears to be showing the show that's listed (and not the same 30 second clip on repeat)? If that's the case, I appreciate you checking. I'll have to try removing everything and adding it again to see if I accidentally did something along the way.
The url for that channel as found inside the playlist.m3u
Download that playlist.m3u and open it in a text editor
Use this url I highlited in VLC
Also check what the channel plays at https://pluto.tv
If it's bad there, contact Pluto
Thank you for the clarification. I was able to locate the line on my end and it looks to match up. It won't play, saying it may be unsupported or corrupted. The channel does work on the Pluto site and app. I appreciate you taking the time to help. It's more a mild inconvenience than anything, so I'll try playing around with things some more later to rule out something I'm doing or accidentally did. Take care!
A fresh install, Pluto local is up and running via docker, thanks so much @joagomez!
I just noticed that when using this handy bookmarklet for channel management, the default format .m3u is not showing category tags:
They showed previously though, when I'd been using the nocords.xyz and i.mjh.nz methods.
I was able to get these category tags to display however, by switching from the default .m3u to the "maddox compatibility" .m3u instead.
Just curious but what's the benefit of the default or i.mjh.nz m3u over this one?

Discussed earlier in thread (channel-id differences) starting here Pluto for Channels - #667 by radioboy
Ah, I see. I've just noticed the same issue when I was building new Channel Collections, so I changed back to the default .m3u. Less confusing for me. This loses those category tags, but they weren't as important. If there's a way to add category tags in a future update, I'd love to see it, but I'm making do without them for now. Thanks!

I don't know why the category tags are missing as both channel lists are using the group-title tag unless @kman0 is using other identifiers in addition to group-title (I don't use that bookmarklet so can't speak to its use)

It appears the problem was on my end, and it was only temporary. I just checked again, along with the bookmarklet, and now the group-title tags are displaying properly. Thank you!

Can you, please, give detailed info, how to make @joagomez work on Synology. I am using @maddox docker but don't find @joagomez (want to replace @maddox with @joagomez)
Thank you

Are people having issues with the guide data for the Britbox Mysteries channel using the docker container?
I'm using nocords.xyz for the guide data and the programs and timings for the Britbox Mysteries channel have not been correct for a couple of weeks. Thank you.
Is this still updated and valid? It was last updated Nov 2022 says releases.
How does this compare to the nocords non docker URL method for getting playlist and Guide data?
Same channels or any difference? Same length in guide data?
The Pluto for Channels is still being updated.
The bigest difference with the docker is that playlists are generated locally.
I've been running it for a good long time and it works great.

For the maddox container, the playlist and EPG are cached in the container. The container pulls about 24 hrs of EPG about every 3 hrs. Not sure about the joagomez container or the nocords feed since I don't use them. Although the nocords feed should be the same as the maddox docker, since that is what powers it.
If you installed portainer it's easy to setup using the docker compose Pluto-for-Channels (jonmaddox) found here A docker-compose for every Channels-related extension -- suitable for Portainer-Stacks!
You have it backwards. The jonmaddox container is the source for the nocords website feed.
First post here Non-Docker source for PlutoTV and Stirr m3u playlists and EPG
You can either run the jonmaddox container locally, or get the same data from the nocords website feed.
