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

[daldana7296]

@bnhf .

Here's the post install healthcheck you asked for from our discussion in the PrismCast thread. I'm running Channels in Windows with the server in my C drive and all other DVR folders in my E drive.

Checking if your Portainer token is working on ports 9000 and/or 9443:

Portainer http response on port 9000 reports version 2.33.6
Portainer Environment ID for local is 
Portainer https response on port 9443 reports version 2.33.6
Portainer Environment ID for local is 

This is the part we want to get working first, though there's also a problem with the paths you're using.

Typically, when Portainer versions are reported, but not Environment ID numbers, that means there's a problem with your Portainer Token. I'd suggest going into Portainer, and under the dropdown in the upper-right corner for your Username, go into My Account and delete the existing olivetin token and create a new one. Store it in a safe place.

Stop your olivetin stack, and replace the old token with the new and click Update the stack. Rerun the healthcheck and hopefully you'll see ID #'s where there are none now.

Also, while you're at it, you might try replacing your current values for DVR_SHARE and LOGS_SHARE with the values suggested in the healthcheck. So, it'd be:

DVR_SHARE=/mnt/e/DVR
LOGS_SHARE=/mnt/c/ProgramData/ChannelsDVR

and let's see if that fixes the lack of access to those two directories. Windows can be a bit of a pain when it comes to this whole area of Linux vs Windows paths. But those paths should work on recent versions of Windows 11.

EDIT: Also, please confirm your Portainer environment is named local. People have, on rare occasions, changed that default name -- which is another reason this could be failing.

[daldana7296]

Well, I'm part way there. PrismCast installed and is working, but access to those folders is still not available. I've tried multiple methods to input those values, but the healthcheck still doesn't show them. The container shows the volumes as /mnt/e/DVR/mnt/- for the DVR Share and /mnt/c/ProgramData/ChannelsDVR/mnt/-_logs for the Logs Share.

First, could you just confirm for me that you haven't made any changes directly to the Docker Compose?

And second, could you post your complete list of env vars here (you'll need to make a few manual redactions)? Go into the Environment variables section of the Portainer-Stacks Editor in Advanced mode to grab it.

For example, here's mine:

The site is currently linked to Xfinity perhaps thats why it is opening the HDHR Prime.
Also noticing the timestamps are not matching up.

@TerryD

PrismCast issues hoping you might have suggestion.

Try both the PrismCast URL, and the URL it resolves to in VLC. And, you can also try the URL it resolves to in another browser, as a sanity check. 503 is kind of a weird error, indicating a temporary unavailability, as opposed to a 404 error.

[TerryD]

Well the link plays in Edge with no problem.
Does not play in VLC.

I just now clicked on TV provider Xfinity in the no VNC window and got this on screen.

New bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2026.03.08 ) pushed this morning with Project One-Click support for two new extensions:

More details here:

Channels Source Manager for Docker

After adding all my sources to Channels (HDHomeRun, Sling, Pluto, Plex, Tubi, etc), I wanted a better way to manage duplicate channels and save/hide multiple channels across categories (for example, I don't care about religious or Spanish channels). So I put together this tool to help manage a large variety of sources better. Sharing this here, use as you will. I don't plan on updating this regularly or anything like that, but I thought other people might find it helpful. Channels DVR · Cha…

Channels DVR Collection Manager

Channels DVR Collection Manager Hey everyone! I didn't like the built in Collection tools, I thought it lacked features so i decided to start making my own tool to automatically manage Channel Collections using pattern matching. Check out my github for more info and screenshots! What It Does Automatically adds/removes channels from collections based on rules you create. Perfect for: Sports channels - Auto-manage DAZN, ESPN with "Events Last" sorting IPTV sources - Handle constantly chang…

As always with Project One-Click, it's super easy to add and/or delete a project -- which makes it very nice to "kick the tires" on a project with only a few minutes of work.

All with the new integrated feel of running OliveTiin as though it were an integrated part of the CDVR WebUI:

Project WebUI+: Making the Power of OliveTin-for-Channels and Project One-Click Available Directly in the Channels DVR WebUI

OK, I think we'll move this into an "Beta" status, so that anyone can get in on the fun -- but still revert to the latest tag if you run into an issue. The concept behind Project WebUI+, as mentioned in the first post, is to take pretty much everything that's been done in OliveTin + Project One-Click and add it to the CDVR WebUI in the form of three dropdowns on the navbar. These are now "live" dropdowns, in that active/recurring Actions, installed Docker Projects and available Extensions WebU…

I'm currently setting up a from scratch channels with everything based out of project one click - has worked really well so far - i spun up cc4c and it works great for weather

also installed the weatherstar and it doesn't work - not sure if the issue is connected to olivetin or the app itself

trying to setup adbtuner to work with google streamer and Hulu live. In Olivetin I clicked "

I should add that I'm running channels in a container on a Synology NAS but I didn't use portainer to build the channels dvr container. If I need to redo channels dvr via portainer I can do that if needed.

No need.

I see CDVR couldn't load the M3U from ADBTuner. But, did the ADBTuner container spin-up OK? Is it running?

[rss7]

actually, the adbtuner did spin up! how do I handle the error ? (thanks for the quick response BTW..)

[rss7]

More info. Actually I can see channels dvr via portainer. Its set to host (vs bridge) mode. I remember needing to set it to host mode because when it was in bridge mode all devices on the same network as the CDVR thought they were remote, so setting it to host mode worked. Probably shot myself in the foot by setting CDVR to host mode.

[bnhf]

@rss7

We could try to figure out why that happened, but you could also just proceed with adding some virtual channels to ADBTuner, and then manually add it as a Custom Channels to Source to your CDVR Server.

The end result would be the same, and it'd faster to carry on I would think.

[rss7]

i re-ran the olivetin button and got no errors. Added google TV streamer to adbtuner and added 3 channels and the m3u looks good and I can see these 3 channels on the CDVR guide. The moment of truth - try to tune to ESPN and watch the Google TV device on a TV. Opens Hulu, gets stuck on Who's Watching profile. I manually pick the only profile that's there (because Hulu is too stupid to know if there is only 1 profile who else can possible be watching!). Reboot, tune to live TV on Hulu (since I'm told this will cause Hulu to remember not to ask who's watching". Try again. This time Hulu returns "Oops. There was an error playing this video". and here we go. Spent $100 on the Google Streamer. Is trying to get Hulu Live working w ADBtuner a waste of time because I'm seeing that Hulu just hates deeplinks? This is why ah4c was invented, right ? Is there any chance Hulu Live will work w ah4c and my shiny new Google TV streamer?

Post a complete log snippet of a failed tune in the ADBTuner thread. There are others using ADBTuner successfully with Hulu, so we should be able to get to the bottom of what's going on.
