Pluto TV Docker Help

Playground Custom Channels
#29

Is anyone willing to help get the Pluto TV setup on a WD PR2100 w/OS 5? I have Docker / Portainer.io installed, but don't know what to do from there. I'm kinda clueless on this NAS stuff.

#30

Yes because if I need to have 1.6GB Mac App just to download like I don't know 100MB image just for download 2MB EPG and few KB of m3u then there is definitely something wrong by desing.
I extracted scripts from docker and run it natively on my server. However my VPS is located in germany and for some reason pluto API gives me now German lineup :expressionless: So if anyone intrested in german lineup for now check here
I probably abandon it altogether with Stirr, too much work then it's worth it.

and for the record I never used in my life tvheadend so not sure where you get info about 38 instances. as a matter of fact TVHeadend webpage seems to be no longer updated and build info displays "failing" so...

  • have installed docker desktop (win10) then it tells me I need to load a kernel Image so I download Ubuntu within Windows but still get same error.. Any chance for a detailed step by step walk though (I get it if not , just asking )

#34

Hard to know without a screenshot of the exact error message.

Perhaps you need to do this: BETA: Custom Channels via M3U Playlists

#35

You need to Install WSL 2 ...

Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend | Docker Documentation

Get it here ...
Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10 | Microsoft Docs

I have docker running now no problem, your image runs and says both files are written, but I can not locate the files.

I am just about there.. everything is working, but I can not seem to figure out how to retrieve (read) the two files (m3u and epg)

#41

The docker container runs a server on port 8080. Did you try this?

#42

yes I did that, tried the ip for windows where I configure and also the IP of the shield that runs the actual server software

#43

Are you sure docker is running ? It is the ip of the windows pc that docker is running on or 127.0.0.1 if you are logged into that PC.

Did you run:
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name pluto-for-channels -p 8080:80 jonmaddox/pluto-for-channels
After you got Docker set up and the image installed?

Holy cow! Until this comes pre packaged I'm going to ignore these threads. I read everything twice. It might as well be engineering a warp drive! :crazy_face:

This was my first docker I setup ever it wasn't that hard maddox instructions are on the money .. I was able to install on NAS and PC.

#48

Seriously. If I can do it I believe anyone can. The key for me was reading and then doing - I still don't understand it but it works flawlessly.
