Nope. But it’s what fit with the current architecture of the project as explained above. And was able to be done in a short amount of time, and uses state from Channels DVR Server to ensure there’s never conflicts of sessions.
@Maddox Is there any way to get a unified guide? I usually go into the channels web ui and disable any channels I'm not interested in. But it seems like now I may have to do each source manually?
yeah it sucks, lol. This solution is not that great.
I'm going to try to level up the whole project to work more like the other one, and let you filter channels there. But now it feels like I'm doing what I was complaining everyone else was doing!
So maybe @KineticMan's version should be the defacto one. I'd suggest just using that one for now.
Mine just isn't set up for proxying like his is doing. It's going to take a fundamental change in how the project works.

Okay...I must have grown dense since I last set up the original version to run in Docker.
I have the zip file. I have Docker Desktop up to date and running.
I have been out here reading how to make the two work together and I can't figure it out. It just ain't gelling.
Is there a 'walk me through the setup like I'm five' set of instructions? I genuinely must be more stupid than I was, because I had no issue setting this up the first time.
Everything changes yet again soon as I wake up. 
So, the @Bobby_Vaughn Docker is now no longer being maintained (that I just setup yesterday and re-did all my fav etc) due to someone else making a better one??
I am not seeing a obvious thread or link to this new docker by @KineticMan.
EDIT: found the post buried from earlier. Would be nice to have that as its own thread...
Interesting to see Maddox docker do what he last posted about...but, I am not sure I want to setup multiple single tuners and have to deal with multiple channel lineups.
I find the @maddox solution quite a clever approach ... it basically let's Channels manager the streams as individual tuners. I tried it out with setting up 6 single channel sources and recorded 4 channels simultaneously...it worked great. The Pluto-for-Channels web screen is a nice touch.
It would be nice if it was handled similarly to HD Homerun (4 tuners), where we could just indicate the number of tuners/streams at 12 (or whatever) and the proxy would manage the tuners/streams...that would allow a single channel lineup. The interface to manager the tuners is already built into Channels, so it seems like the new proxy just needs to leverage that type of API to the proxy.
Looking forward to what's next on this evolution.

Pretty much all Pluto channels are freezing/buffering in Channels for me, both on Apple TV and Nvidia Shield. During add breaks. Not ever ad the y play causes freezing, but most do.
My mother keeps closing the channel and re-opening it, but that does not seem to be necessary, as after several seconds to 15 secs later of just leaving it in its buffering state, the ad continues to play or skips to the next ad.
I have both servers bypassed unblock/unfiltered for my Adguard Home DNS filtering, so that is not the issue. I was not having this issue before the recent Pluto change.
One server is using the Windows.exe for Pluto, the other the last version of Maddox docker(will be moving to KineticMan one when I have the time to do that.
