Pluto for Channels

[Timbo303]

I didn't want to dox myself so I took out the rest of the link it has clientid and other stuff attached to it.

This link does work otherwise it would be giving you a 403 instead of a 401. Plutotv is adding widevine drm to their stations. I found another one on tv land drama channel.

I've been expecting this since they announced the "single platform" for Pluto and Paramount+.

This project is now archived. Due to how Pluto streams work with authentication, this project's architecture just does not scale appropriately for multiple stream needs.

You should migrate to the FastChannels project instead which handles authenticated Pluto streams better in that it supports multiple streams with a single authentication and a single source added to Channels.

Additionally, it supports more Pluto channels and locales. It also supports a TON of other FAST channel services.

FastChannels - FAST Channels aggregator/manager

FastChannels I wanted to share something I've been building called FastChannels — a self-hosted FAST channel aggregator that scrapes free ad-supported streaming services and delivers unified M3U playlists and XMLTV EPG guides for Channels DVR (and any other IPTV client). Why FastChannels? The problem it solves: Pluto TV, Tubi, The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, Xumo, Plex, DistroTV, and dozens of other free streaming services each offer hundreds of live channels, but they're all siloed.

Because the Channels DVR developers have taken a stance to condone these secondary developers, can we assume that you will roll this into the native Channels DVR software?

Pluto for Channels was never a first party or technically supported project from Fancy Bits.

It's something I made and contributed as a proof of concept for Custom Channels. It was no different or more official than anything else our community has contributed.

Also, I don't know what you mean by "taken a stance to condone these secondary developers".

That sounds like you're using "secondary" as a pejorative and I take complete offense to that.

We've welcomed community involvement from day one with Channels. We built Custom Channels as an integration point FOR community contributions.

It's just these types of projects that it was built for, so that the community can have these types of things. Things we don't have time for or the ability to maintain, while maintaining the core Channels product.

Don't take offense - this user just appears to be special: Cannot tune Fox Sports 1 from YTV - #46 by Kryptonyte

Thank you for keeping it going for this long and helping the community. Your efforts were much appreciated.
