What you've been able to do so far has been great! I really appreciate your getting this working so quickly before Pluto pulled the plug on the old way.
IMO, setting this up is just as easy as using the nocords site.
Hey, I just appreciate the help. Trying to bug track by myself is hard to do. My grandbabies are with us until late in the day so we are watching kids shows and can not change channels. Testing on a tablet or PC is frustrating. Thanks for your help.

That was my intention with it. I wanted a simple, easy to handle way to view Pluto. Thanks.

This is also a possible alternative way to do this , deal with multi-stream / tuner(account) conflict
That would basically be having the docker version with single sign in installed on different ports multiple times with each having its on user assigned to it.
Pluto for Channels updated to support more than a single stream:

Thank you! I'm a new channels user, got Channels all set-up with non-docker Pluto, then Pluto stopped working. Family not happy!
Just loaded Docker for the first time and and got Pluto for Channels running with 4 tuners. So far so good! Happy Family!

Anyone else not getting EPG through on the Windows Proxy version? I started to get listings through yesterday and after restarting the app, but they disappeared and even after restarting the server I can get anything on the EPG side. They all stream fine though.

@MCal27 check your port number and make sure it lines up with what you have on channels. Also, post in the Pluto Windows forums so I don't miss the posts.
When in the Guide, I used to be able to select News and was able to see the related channels
Now I only see the few news I have on my Homerun Tuner - Nothing for Pluto
Is there something I need to reset ? (EPG was refreshed)

It's been ages since I set this up. I've included a screen shot of the old settings. Can I just update some fields in this setting with new ones? If so, what would the new settings be?
Which of the three Project "flavors" of Pluto for Channels are you using?
maddox docker Pluto for Channels - #1002 by maddox
> GitHub - maddox/pluto-for-channels: 📺 M3U generator optimized for Channels' custom channels.
KineticMan docker Pluto for Channels - KineticMan docker
> GitHub - kineticman/pluto-for-channels: Forked from jgomez177/pluto-for-channels.
Bobby_Vaughn windows exe Pluto-Windows_4C Released
> GitHub - nuken/Pluto-Windows_4C: A native Windows Pluto playlist proxy.
See the post I made right after yours for currently available sources.
TL;DR nocords.xyz is no longer available Non-Docker source for PlutoTV m3u playlists and EPG - #733 by maddox
I was hoping not to install docker etc, but just substitute working settings for
Source URL - https://nocords.xyz/pluto/playlist.m3u
Guide data - https://nocords.xyz/pluto/epg.xml
Is that possible yet?
No, the Nocords method is now dead, and will stay dead. Your easiest solution is the above. It's very easy to do, I did it myself. See the links above.
Please switch to this thread if you decide to use this solution, and want to ask anymore questions: https://community.getchannels.com/t/pluto-windows-4c-released/
I don’t use docker, is there a way to fix this without running docker? My Channels Server is a Mac mini.
Read my post directly above yours, and use that. It's very easy, I did it myself. I did it on a Windows 11 running my Channels though.
Yeah, I don't think that will work very well on his Mac Mini.
I was wondering if anyone here’s tried OrbStack as an alternative to Docker?
Just wondering for the power users,
Starting form the beginning using channels
Step one add a source.
So first a provider
The box that pops up has a dropdown of providers
And below that you add your username and password
Would it be possible to add Pluto as a source then add your username and password just like, we do for tv anywhere but have it work like that?
In fact going further would that same idea work for any other items with username password (Netflix, hbo max and so on?)
One would have to have a log on (for paid services no cheating) for Pluto or heck Amazon live tv and so on…
Just saying perhaps instead of three choices ( home run / tv anywhere / custom channels) there could be a forth choice with these that require log on which then could be put back into the grid even if by choosing a program it opens the respective app (Netflix Hulu etc…) channels becomes the base app to launch other apps and collates schedules /grids /shows….
Thoughts?
