Pluto-Windows_4C Released

Playground Hacks
#239

@Soapm I updated the Linux version to be on par with the Windows release.

  • Brought the version number to 1.2.0 to be inline the with Windows Build
  • Updated to match fixes/changes in Windows 1.2.0 build

Update process:

Stop Service:

sudo systemctl stop plutoforchannels

Download latest Linux release and replace the PlutoForChannels installer in your Pluto folder. The one with your .xml and settings files.

Open a terminal and navigate to the Pluto folder with the PlutoForChannels.

Make it executable:

chmod +x PlutoForChannels

Run the installer:

sudo ./PlutoForChannels --install

Seems to work fine in windows version.

#241

Is there any chance for a TUBI version like this? Not a fan of docker for windows.

#242

I had looked at doing a Tubi proxy some time ago and found it to be a lot more complex than Pluto. I am also busy with other projects at to moment and do not have time to handle another.

@ktjensen2 After looking over some other projects that pull Tubi data in, it might be kind of simple. I'll look into it.

I have a release of the Tubi Windows Bridge available here:

If you are not using the pre-release Channels DVR server, do not use the epg, only the m3u. If you are on the pre-release you can add both to your Custom Channel.

Is this still working for the UK feed? When I try to add the custom channels for UK I keep getting the error "500 internal server error" The US east & west work fine for me. The log shows it requests an m3u and generates an epg for UK, I can't verify that it did so successfully. I am running the latest version.

I'll look into it.

#247

I found the issue and will have an update soon.

v1.2.3 is released with the UK IP fix.

#248

Great! I will try it this evening!
Thanks!

#249

Did that fix your issue?

#250

Yes, that works! Thanks!
It seems like the transition to commercial breaks still act flaky on the UK channels.
I do need to go back and make sure that I am using transport stream setting.

#251

Make sure you are using Mpeg-ts and not HLS in the custom channel settings.

#252

Bobby, should the Tubi Bridge program source also be set the Mpeg-TS? I assume so, since it's just like the Pluto one.

#253

The only reason I set Pluto to Mpeg-ts is because of the way Pluto injects commercials. Setting it to Mpeg-ts allows Channels DVR to remux the stream and helps to overcome some of the freezing Pluto experiences during commercial breaks. Tubi doesn't seem to have that issue.

#254

Bobby, I just installed the newest v1.2.4 version. Does this add anything for use with Channels DVR? I see it generates "vod.json" feed links instead of .m3u, etc. So I would assume this is NOT meant to be an upgrade for people only using it for Channels?

If so, should I revert back to 1.2.2 or 1.2.3 (I'm in the states), or is it ok to just leave this one running?

#255

It's fine to run it, all it is doing is capturing a json file of the VOD Movies from Pluto. I am using it with the Nucleus HTPC. I have not found a way to use it with Channels DVR, but anyone can pull the json and use it in their application. I will add a toggle to disable the VOD in the next release.

#256

Awesome, thanks!

I saw the note on the Github about the "Nucleus HTPC", but I have no idea what that is, so wasn't sure. As long as it'll work fine for my Channels DVR use, I'm happy and good to go.

#257

So the new v1.2.5 version. The ONLY difference between that and say "US-EAST" would be that it provides local area commercials if they are available? Otherwise the available channels, etc are the same?

#258

Correct. Server side ads are now enabled. I was getting tired of the Pluto placeholder commercial on everything. I also added a toggle to disable the VOD
