All is really only needed if you are using a separate manager to sort your channels. If using channels DVR, I would not use it as it is overkill.
1 account should be fine in most cases. If you need more, use a disposable email and create another account.
The extra accounts are available if Pluto ever limits single account access. As of now, they do not.
Make sure you enter the correct m3u and epg in your custom channel in Channels DVR sources. It may take a little while for the data to load.
Bobby, the epg data on this, is just the RAW epg data stripped out that Pluto provides? I used to use the website version for years (nocords) and it seemed to have much enhanced epg data. Am I misremembering? Is there any simple way to enhance the data on your version? Or is mine having some sort of issue? Thanks!
The data is what Pluto provides. I can't remember if Movies provide extra data that I can include, but TV shows have the series and episode data.
Somewhat fresh on my mind from FastChannels-- Pluto does show the release dates for movies in their API. I think I added it to my output somehow too.
Copied the urls from the app.
I just checked again, still no data.
If I open the XML files I do see the info, just not in Channels 
Which regional feed are you trying to use and have you tried a different region to see if that works?
USWest considering I’m in California
Also chose All and Local
All is only for external playlist managers, not Channels DVR. Look in the Pluto Windows Dashboard and disable the feed and re-enable it. Paste the log here. It should look like this:
[20:09:43] Active regions updated: local, us_east, us_west
[20:09:43] [INFO] Regions changed. Forcing immediate EPG generation...

I’m remote right now.
I’ll get that posted later tonight.
In the meantime, I’ve removed the All source from Channels.
Regarding that, what channel managers would be recommended?
Ok. I'll look at it in the morning. If you could, paste the Channels DVR logs related to the m3u and xmltv data loading for the Pluto channels too. Thanks.
Is yours setup like this?
Also, if you type in the IP address on your lan like this:
Does it bring up the server screen and show that it's running?
Setting the Stream Format to MPEG-TS will help if you experience freezing or stutter during playback.
You have the playlist url in the XMLTV Guide Data.
Should be the epg url
http://192.168.1.19:7777/pluto/epg/local/epg-local.xml
Yup! Just noticed that!!
Now we’re rocking. Apparently the copy url didn’t take for some reason and I wasn’t paying attention during the paste.
Guide data slowly coming in.
Glad I could help. It's so easy to overlook the simple things, because people tend to go too deep and over complicate stuff in their minds.
The ALL feed is literally all the feeds. Channels DVR will only load the first 750 channels and ignore the rest. If you want all of them, you would be better off enabling the feeds you want and creating custom channels for each. If you want to use a Playlist manager and select which channels you want in a custom playlist, there are many available online. One developed by @babsonnexus is available here
