Project One-Click: All-in-One Installations of Docker Extensions and CDVR Custom Channels

Playground
#553

In the interest of making sure no issues have crept into the OliveTin EZ-Start process on a Mac -- I stepped through it this morning -- and everything worked as expected.

I also had Portainer and OliveTin previously installed on this system, and here are the steps I followed -- so you can compare them to what you did.

In Portainer, I stopped the OliveTin stack, followed by removing the OliveTin Stack.

Next, for good measure, I deleted the OliveTin image in Portainer.

And, from the Mac Terminal, I stopped Portainer and then removed Portainer:

slayer@mac-mini-m2 ~ % docker stop portainer
portainer
slayer@mac-mini-m2 ~ % docker rm portainer
portainer

Finally, I deleted the Portainer data volume:

slayer@mac-mini-m2 ~ % docker volume rm portainer_data
portainer_data

From there, I followed the steps as detailed here, making sure to check for successful execution of each. When configuring the OliveTin env vars, I used the defaults, with these exceptions specific to the Mac:

HOST_DIR=/Users/slayer/data
DVR_SHARE=/Users/slayer/channels-data
LOGS_SHARE=/Users/slayer/Library/Application Support/ChannelsDVR

With Portainer and OliveTin reinstalled from scratch, I successfully added Pluto and Multichannel View to test Project One-Click.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with the processes, either EZ-Start or Project One-Click.

Thank you. I'll try all of that and post the results. I likely won't be able to get to it until Wednesday, though.

I followed the steps to the letter and got all of the way to Create an Olivin Stack but got the following:

> JSON response from http://192.168.150.242:9000/api/stacks/create/standalone/string?endpointId=:
> {"message":"Invalid JWT token","details":"Unauthorized"}
false

I confirmed prior to starting the Portainer and Olivetin install process that Portainer was removed following the steps you gave me. I also entered the three envir variables you gave me using my local directory.

I believe the issue has to be with the password you're choosing when installing Portainer through EZ-Start. If you're willing to hang with me, this is something I'd really like to get to the bottom of, both for your benefit and potentially future users.

If you try to access Portainer, does it accept the password you used in EZ-Start process, or is it asking you to create a password? If it does accept the password you used, and you look under the admin-My account dropdown, do see an Access token named olivetin?

#557

I use lastpass password manager so it's just logging in under the password I created months ago. There's not an olvetin access token.

#558

If it's a throwaway password (i.e. is a password you don't use elsewhere), would you mind sending it to me via PM? I'm virtually certain the password is at the root of this problem now, as it sounds like you've been consistently using it.

If you send it, I'll do an install here myself with your password, and figure out where things are going wrong...

#559

PM sent. Thank you.

For anyone following along on this issue, the cause appears to have been related to password length. The Portainer default minimum password length is 12 characters, so you want to be sure to conform to that requirement when spinning-up Portainer using OliveTin EZ-Start:

I'll add a check in future versions of OliveTin to confirm a minimum length password is being used.

New bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2025.09.13) pushed today with support for TV-Logo-Manager. More details here:

This update includes numerous enhancements to ah4c deployments through Project One-Click. Spinning-up an ah4c stack for DirecTV in particular, should be especially quick-and-easy for any of these devices using the STREAMER_APP and M3U_NAME values listed below:

FireTV, ONN or CCwGTV streaming sticks:

STREAMER_APP=scripts/firetv/dtvstreamdeeplinks
CDVR_M3U_NAME=dtvstreamdeeplinks.m3u

Osprey streaming boxes:

STREAMER_APP=scripts/osprey/dtvosprey
CDVR_M3U_NAME=dtvosprey.m3u

Here's what the Action looks like. Data required for each field is described, but in addition to the couple of values above, you'll need the details (IPs or hostnames and URLs) for your streaming devices and encoders:

screencapture-htpc6-1337-2025-09-13-08_00_51
screencapture-htpc6-1337-2025-09-13-08_00_511920×2651 384 KB

With the proper data entered, this Action will spin-up the stack, and add the Custom Channels Source to your CDVR Server. Assuming you've already activated developer options, and USB debugging on your device, installed the DTV app, and logged in -- approving the ADB connection on each device is about all you should need to do, before you can try to tune to one of the channels in your subscribed package!

failed to load m3u context deadline exceeded? I didn't do anything

#566

I'm not following. What are we talking about here?

#567

All of my custom m3u playlist say that now?

#568

Maybe the LAN IP address of your Docker host has changed?

#569

It hasn't?

#570

Running portainer and everything was setup by your script?

#571

@bnhf Any chance of making one change to your EZ-start?

I'd love to easily install everything BUT the channels DVR server on a PC in my house, to account for MacOS vs Windows + a GPU. I'm hoping this could be accomplished via a single parameter that would change whatever localhost item you use (assumed) to a parameter you could enter. Am I off base?

#572

There are two versions of EZ-Start (3 for Windows). They all use a temporary installation of OliveTin to install everything else.

In each case though, you can choose what you want to install after you get the EZ-Start version of OliveTin running.

You can install Portainer, the full version of OliveTin, and anything supported by Project One-Click -- including CDVR Server. Your choice, once you have Portainer and the full version of OliveTin running.

#573

Thanks! Understood. I guess I (badly) assumed that given the purpose, you would default to a localhost address for the DVR. If not, great!

I'm doing this strictly as a CC4C endpoint to test ESPN+
