Provider - Philo

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#90

Hi tmm1 - I cannot use Philo to login with that link.

I'm most concerned about HGTV and Hallmark at the moment.

Still getting "not authorized" - but I can get into them using Philo and the links that have been provided in other threads.

Very puzzling. Updated Win10, Chrome and Channels server (2010.10.16.1640).

Looks like a lot of other members have it working but cannot figure this out.

Any ideas? I'm wondering if it could be a PC issue? Using a Dell desktop machine (Optimplex 790)

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Are you guys getting Game Show Network through Philo and Channels DVR? Also, how about Lifetime Movie Network?

#93

No. I only see Lifetime in my lineup. Have not see GSN either but there is Buzzer which is similar to GSN showing old game shows.

#94

There are also several game show channels on Pluto that you can now add for free.

I keep trying to add Philo as a source and I get the error "no login form found" I see the picture where I would normally enter my mobile number to gain access but the picture isn't clickable. I have already logged into Philo in the same browser (Chrome) on the same computer but that doesnt seem to be helping the situation. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you....I ended up successfully adding Philo as a source but had to use Safari instead of Chrome. After selecting Philo from the dropdown list, I was asked for my Philo email address (that didn't happen in Chrome), I was sent an email from Philo that I needed to click to verify and then the channels from Philo were added.

I thought that the BBC World News stream was encrypted and there was a legal issue in decrypting it.

Yesterday I had an issue adding Philo and wanted to share in case others had the same problem.

Devices:
Raspberry Pi 4 - Running Ubuntu Desktop - Channels-DVR Server
Sony Bravia x950h - Running Android TV - Channels-DVR Beta

I was able to add Philo to the DVR without any issues, and I could SEE the channels but there wasn't any sound ... at all. I was worried that it might be an encoding issue, I had similar issues with my hdhomerun and the atsc 3.0 channels on Plex originally.

I eventually got it working but I'm not sure exactly which step kicked it into working.

  • Switched to the Beta Client (that was the logical first step for the beta features :grin:)
  • Turned on the sharing tuner setting in the TV client and confirmed it was working on my android phone...
  • Disabled Philo, refreshed the source, re-enabled it.

Still wasn't working ...

  • Logged back onto the server and signed back in from the computer's chrome browser itself ... this time it asked me if it was an Android TV device and I think the first time it only asked it it was an android (maybe because I was using it on my phone with that tuner last)

Anyway - after doing that and then disabling and enabling it again on the TV app ... IT WORKED.

Not sure if this was luck or if there is some sort of issue with the encoding if it assumes android vs. android TV? - either way... IT WORKS NOW! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I just subscribed to Philo. A Channels DVR scan of Philo was mostly successful. The only channel that appears to be missing is LMN (Lifetime Movie Network). The scan log does not show Channels DVR checking for that channel. LMN is available on my ATV4 Philo app.

Perhaps I've missed something.
Thanks for your assistance!

There are some channels on Philo that don't support TV Everywhere and therefore don't work with ChannelsDVR. AXS & BBCNews are a couple I can think of. Lifetime Movie Network must fall into that same category

6046 Lifetime network is supported TVE by Philo, but not Lifetime Movie Network (LMN)

I have not seen a provider for LMN for TVE.

Thanks for the replies!

Say wha? When did Lifetime start doing TVE? This will make my wife so happy! She has to bounce out to the Philo app to record her shitty movies, haha. Lifetime was the only "gap" in our usual stuff. Thanks for the info!

Not sure...far as I have known, it has been there since i first setup Philo as a TVE source couple years ago. But...i don't watch that channel, so...not really sure.

Hello, just did the latest Pi and DVR update(pre-release 5/7/1731 and still have issues tuning what appears to be some, not all discovery channels(TLC, discovery, motortrend, etc.). Food network tunes though. Hallmark tunes fine under TVE. Checked Philo streaming via web browser and is working. Anyone else have this issue? I'm using TVE under Philo so not sure it's affecting other TVE logins too. Thanks.

Diving into this further, I think this is an issue with the browser cache(Chrome). I cleared my cache on my PC and could get the Philo login screen. So I'll post in the DVR Pi channel to get the fix for the Pi DVR. Thanks.

I had this issue earlier this week on the Discovery Networks. There was a login form error in the log. Rescanning the channels did not fix it for me. I had to remove Philo and re-add it as a source.

I keep seeing that nickelodeon is not offered on Philo live. I'm watching it right now on philo and it's live. My Channels DVR isn't even scanning for Nickelodeon from Philo. Am I doing something wrong? I just set this up.
