Provider - Xfinity

I was able to get it working on an Mac Mini and then pulling it over to the Unraid docker via the M3U URL. So it looks like Xfinity does not like the Linuix browser on Unraid. Is that the best way to get around this problem permanently? I don't want to move everything from Unraid Channels as I like the way it works except for this issue.

Thanks for all your help.

I also find Docker XFINITY TVE unreliable ... I did something similar except I use windows ... I had to run Channels DVR TVE on Windows and feed via M3U to my other DVR. I have totally given up on UBUNTU Server and Docker to host my DVR if I want to use TVE.

New user in Houston, TX. Followed info at the top of the post. Used username, not email. 2FA was not enabled anyway.

Have Local Networks via TV Everywhere checked.

After scan there is no NBC listed for local channel.

ABC, CBS and FOX are found.

Any suggestion on how to get NBC to show up?

NBC no longer available.

I'm sorry but that link doesn't really go anywhere (but up to the middle of this log thread) or state that NBC is no longer available.

I can go here https://www.nbc.com/live?brand=nbc&callsign=KPRC, which is linked to XFinity and stream NBC.

I can go here https://www.xfinity.com/stream/live/Watch-KPRC-2-News-at-4pm/7728061817102576105/KPRCD, logged in with my XFinity username and stream NBC.

Thanks. I had not found the Announcements section of the forums.

Nothing beats the tuning speed of a full channel scan. Is anyone automating this somehow? I'm using ubuntu. Any quick and dirty solutions for a 2am full channel scan?

What do you mean by

I'm guessing here, but read this thread from this post Xfinity Cable provider authentication failed - #12 by Edwin_Perez

Yes, that's what I mean. Whenever I do a full scan, it tunes to the channels faster because they have all been authenticated and doesn't have to do that until it expires. I want them to never expire. The tuning speed is much faster after a full scan as opposed to having to reauthenticate channels I haven't switched to in a while.

It only reauthorizes those channels whose tokens have expired, not all of them.
But I get what you mean.

Getting Remux/Probe Errors on the Free Channels like Comet 6751 and Charge 6752 etc...

@chDVRuser do you have the same problem with these channels ?

Fixed with current release.

None of these work for me
COMET 6751
CHARGE 6752
CONTV 6753
TBD 6755

Yeah I setup a pass to Capture Without a trace yesterday and it figures Charge would be broken and that is one Channel I cannot get via OTA.

Not working for me either. Sling user.
"COMET 6751
CHARGE 6752
CONTV 6753
TBD 6755"

I wouldn't care as Comet is OTA, but for some reason Channels insists on ignoring my OTA source and using the 6700 channels.

Channels chooses the higher priority source and the higher channel number when recording with a pass.

Universal KIds Removed .... From Cable Providers.

Last night I started to get auth issue with my xfinity. It started with ESPN then TNT. I ran thru the normal process to debug. Since I haven’t had issues in over a year I didn’t try to update to latest build. This morning I was able to rescan ESPN and its working.

I still see this in the logs.

Do the latest builds address this error and should I upgrade. I usually take if not broke wait and take stable builds. Currently on v2025.04.17.1651

If you're using TVE, always upgrade to the latest prerelease
