Pluto-Windows_4C Released

Make sure your Pluto Channels source has the Stream Format set to MPEG-TS and not HLS

That was it... I owe you a beer! Thanks for the support and app!

What's the new version just released all about, does it fix something? V1.1.9

Thanks!

It is an attempt to improve the commercial freezing. I switched the sid to stay the same during stream recovery.

So this is interesting, at least to me. With Nextpvr and v1.19 all channels I test are audio only. When I go back to 1.17 most channels (except the few already discussed) work correctly. I will test with vlc directly and report results.

This is not the use case the tool is designed for and not expecting you to put time into this. Just reporting an oddity. When I have time my plan is to reconfigure my setup such that streamlink and/or ffmpeg can be incorporated prior to Npvr which "should" resolve most of my stream issues.

===========
As everyone probably guessed, going straight from the pluto portal to VLC works fine. Clearly an Npvr issue. I'll move forward with streamlink/ffmpeg integration and see where that gets me.

Cool, I will give it a try this evening, thanks again!!!

I don't seem to be getting the classic shows with this one, am I doing something wrong?

With the windows version I was getting about 495 channels.
This one has just over 200?

You can select the feeds you want from the dashboard

It's on my headless debian server, how would I access this dashboard? Can I load it on my windows machine?

PS... I have local selected in the website interface, that's all selected in the windows version too.

Local only has a few channels. There are other choices from the dashboard. I'm not sure what you mean by it running on a headless Linux server. This project is a Windows only project. Like I said, open the dashboard and select the different regions you want to watch and make your custom channels in the DVR for the separate regions you wish to watch.

I changed the setting to all and classic is now there, thanks again...

I figured out the anomaly, I use a VPN which connects to a server in Germany. When I select local it thinks I'm in Germany so gives me different channels. Now to figure out how to route the pluto traffic outside the VPN so it will see local as local??? I've got some learning to do.

If you are in the US, you can use the us_east or us_west feeds as well.

I may have to do just that, thanks...

v1.2.0 Released

  • Recording Improvements

Is this a coded message? I went to the GitHUB and it still shows version 1?

Or was this update only for Windows?

@Soapm Only Windows.

I'll work on the Linux version as soon as I have time. I did get a non-Channels version for Windows put out.

@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.

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