So with the change of user and password. Each device can only have one active channel. The project hard coded 12 different device IDs so pluto thinks you have 12 different pieces of hardware. Also don't forget to set each one to 1 stream limit. Otherwise Channels DVR will try to use the first one for all.
ohhh, ok, got it. Thank you again!!!
sorry, does that mean i have to set up favorites for each tuner? I have a lot of favorites.
nvm. i just figured it out — I do.
You will want to use. Prefer channel-number from M3U on each one. That way it thinks they are all the same. Otherwise you will get as many duplicate channels as you created. Like 4 or 5 Pluto Horror channels.
I have switch mine over to this version though. Does the same thing but handles all the Client ID on the container side and you only need to setup one Source.
I can set this up by creating a new container in docker, right? I had a lot of problems trying to use the CLI. I did see kineticman/pluto-for-channels in the registry. I think I will try this tomorrow as long as i don’t have to use the CLI.
Yes you can just search for it. Use port 7777 (Unless you have something else like Tubi that might use 7777 already) for the local port and create the two environment variables like you did before. Then you should be able to open the webpage like the other one.
well, i assume thats right.. open up Chrome and go to 10.0.0.139:7777 and tell us what version you are running
It was v1.22 but now it can’t connect to server
[edit] seems ip address had changed to 10.0.0.169 for some reason and it is working now. Thanks!
Assuming you have Docker installed this should be a one-liner install (change username/password)
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped \
-p 7777:7777 \
-e PLUTO_USERNAME='[email protected]' \
-e PLUTO_PASSWORD='yourpassword' \
--name pluto-for-channels \
kineticman/pluto-for-channels:main
Yes that’s what I used. See above seems to be working now, thanks
You might want reserve that ip address on your router so that it doesn’t change
Yes I thought that was the case, turns out my Mac had switched to another wireless network I have running for a different part of the house, so back to the original one now.
Is anyone else seeing duplicate channels on your Channel Collections? For example, I have two Pluto sources setup now. So also, I have double listings of each channel - usually a 10000 channel number range and another in the 20000 range.
On the two pluto sources you setup you have to tell it to use Prefer channel-number from M3U. Otherwise channels will duplicate the channels numbers so they don't overlap.
Thanks for the Docker Video. Got it installed and Pluto up and running.
