Pluto TV On Screen Message "Pluto TV is no longer available on this device"

Playground Custom Channels
#101

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?

#102

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.

#104

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.

#105

Yeah, I don't think that will work very well on his Mac Mini.

#106

I was wondering if anyone here’s tried OrbStack as an alternative to Docker?

#107

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?

#108

Hi Everyone! I'm hoping for some help. I run Channels of a Linux Mint pc (still learning Linux) and I've never run a Docker before. Can someone walk me through how to do that? Pluto is the favorite source of TV in our house.

Thanks!

This video should help:

Once you have Docker properly installed, see this thread:

#110

Thanks for this. I am no Docker expert but am trying, Seems to work and I see the Pluto for Channels web page. However when copying playlist into Channels I get this error

failed to load m3u: open http://127.0.0.1:8080/tuner-1-playlist.m3u: no such file or directory

Any help appreciated

You are using the wrong port number. Try this instead:
http://127.0.0.1:7777

This address exactly without anything after it. That should show you all the available playlists for different countries.

Actually, the port number depends on which version you installed.

You said you were able to see the Pluto for Channels web page. At what address?

#112

Thanks, but get same error

can see webpage at :7777 and :8080

Ok, good. So all the playlists should be listed on the page. Can you show a screenshot?

Ah, ok, this is the version from @maddox.
I didn't install this version.

If you click on Tuner 1, what does it show?

#117

http://127.0.0.1:7777/tuner-1-playlist.m3u

#118

Ok so it seems you did everything right.

I'm not using this version so I don't know more.

Maybe somebody else can help. Best person being @maddox himself.

Thanks for trying!

Docker users should be migrating over to the @KineticMan container:
