Provider - Spectrum

Pretty sure the users having an issue are having to re-auth the channels after their tokens expire (every 7 days for Discovery Network Channels using Xfinity)

Just to close the loop, I think I was having a password issue. I changed it, updated for my Spectrum source, and had to rescan discovery channels and now all is good! I also moved to the latest pre-release, 2024.01.30.0358, but that was probably not necessary. Thanks all.

Is there a list of spectrum channels that support TVE to use in Channels DVR?

Does this help?

Blink once for Yes, twice for No :laughing:

I don't have a Spectrum sub any longer, but if someone here did and they were willing, they could kick out a quick Excel spreadsheet for you based on this:

Has anyone had experience using Spectrum TV Stream with Channels DVR?

I've been using Spectrum TV Choice for the last year and have had no problems, but that's because I thought it was the only way to get TCM. Turns out that's not the case. So I could definitely save money if Spectrum TV Stream fills the bill.

Thanks!

I am having an issue setting up tv everywhere with spectrum. I use my id and pw - which I can log into spectrum online to watch tv but when I put it in channels - it errors out. Same thing happens if I try Philo, but philo has a weird log in so I can work on that later but would love to get Spectrum step up

Is Spectrum TVE working for everyone? I’m getting a lot of inconsistencies. Most channels work on their TVE website such as C Span but I get an error under Channels. https://sp.auth.adobe.com/adobe-services/session: 401 Unauthorized: "Data not found”

CNN consistently goes out on both Channels and their TVE website.

Any thoughts?

It’s not working for me either. Channels is able to get the stream but it never gets past the default ‘commercial’. For instance, ESPN shows the ESPN logo that it does when there isn’t a streaming commercial. Other channels give a stream is currently experiencing an issue screen.

I thought I had figured it out when I launched Chrome and tried TVE directly in the browser. I got a message that indicated Chrome was out of date. I updated Chrome. Restarted my Mac and no luck.

I’ve tried updating Channels to the latest pre-release. Updating my Spectrum credentials. Rescanning. Removing and re-adding the Spectrum TVE source.

Nothing works. Channels seems to think it’s tuned the channel, but it isn’t quite tuning it.

It’s not a spectrum issue.

Same issue here. ABC is just a logo for my local ABC station. Spectrum is my provider.

Having same isssues just started yesterday for me

I tried deleting the Spectrum source and re-adding it. I get the following error: authn: POST: https://sp.auth.adobe.com/adobe-services/session: 401 Unauthorized: "Data not found” and I can’t add any channels.

What type of issue is it… I’ve tried every way to fix the problem but I think it was Disney cause I’ve noticed it’s there channels that are on permanent commercial lockdown but could be wrong.

Disney basically disabled their TVE feeds (including the entire ESPN complex) last week. Nice of them, eh?

Channels 6984 - 6991 which are all of the ABC national feeds have stopped working for me. I don't know when this started, but I have used them in past. I tried rescanning the Spectrum TVE source, but they still show up as valid. They all get a 404 error in the log when I try to watch one:

They don’t work for anyone. Disney DRM’d them. Update to prerelease and all the drm channels will be removed so you can’t try to authenticate the drm channels . This is not a Spectrum issue, it’s a Disney issue and has been beaten like a dead horse all over the forums. ABC, Disney,ESPN, and all the rest of the Disney owned channels don’t work in channels dvr via TVE anymore.

Are Weathernation and Aljazeera down too? I never watch them but was just trying all stations to see what still worked and found these two as non-working.
