Provider - Xfinity

Huh? Fix was put up 8 months ago, have you tried it?

https://hub.docker.com/r/fancybits/channels-dvr/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated

docker pull fancybits/channels-dvr:tve

Turns out that xfinity messed up and didn’t have streaming enabled on my account after calling in. They had to do an account refresh and that cleared it all up.

As per my previous responses to you, I already did and did a fresh install on Friday (post 531)

Ahh, OK. So now your web UI Status shows OS as
Linux Alpine
3.14.0_alpha20210212 (kernel: 4.14.24-qnap)

Apologies, I thought you were saying you didn't know how to pull the latest container image.

I would update to the latest pre-release and when you add the Xfinity-TVE source click and HOLD the Login button.

I have this same issue and am not running the dvr in a docker but I am running docker for Pluto. I have tried latest pre-release and holding login button. Still have the same issue. Any other ideas?

Other than deleting the chromedata folder, no other ideas.
I'm sure I'll have some when it happens to me (again).

What does your error screenshot look like?

This was my last issue, Ask me later


So now I login to that account every weekend to clear things like that since I don't know when their later is and there's no checkbox for [x] Never ask me again :grin:

I have this same issue for many (most? maybe all that require login?) channels via TVE lately. I'm running the current version of Chromium available on Ubuntu, and tried with the latest Channels Stable and Pre-release. Channels presents the "no login form found" error, but the HTML and screenshot that Channels logs for the error do show a field for "Enter your Xfinity ID".

While I don't know if Auto Authentication ever worked for Chromium on Ubuntu, it doesn't right now. However, Auto Authentication works fine from my Windows Vivaldi browser. If anyone knows a channel that doesn't support Auto Authentication but does require a login, I'd be happy to check whether or not that channel works in Channels right now. I did try re-scanning a channel, and it presented the "no login form found" error as well, so a re-scan doesn't seem likely to help.

It seems like the only common link here is xfinity not docker, not chrome, not a particular server. I even tried on my windows laptop and it wouldn’t work here. I really think the issue is with the xfinity login screen but that’s just an educated guess. The latest update still hasn’t fixed it.

Can the devs please acknowledge that they are seeing this? I see them active on other conversations but not this one.

I'm wondering if it's Xfinity auth servers.
I logged into my Xfinity account (for other things, not streaming) earlier today and got a 500 error multiple times and had to try again later.

The login works everywhere but channels. Individual apps both atv and iOS, online sites, the xfinity stream app, etc.

To test I just added Xfinity-TVE, no problem.
DVR version 2021.11.23.2219
I already have 2 servers with it working, so added it to my docker container that had only a Pluto source.
Then enabled local networks and got them also.

Not sure what's different for those unable to add it.
I'm on my home Xfinity network using my own account and used a secondary VIEWER only user/pass.

Having the same issue here. Looks like the Xfinity login form has changed (for some). Staged rollout maybe?

It's a little difficult to tell from the screenshot, but the new login form requires username/email submission first, then password entry on the following page.

That was mentioned a couple times before.
If you go to one of the network sites like nbc live in your browser, do you get the same login form?
Mine is still the traditional user/pass on the same page, so it could be a staged rollout, or just something in their random arsenal of bot kickers.

Yep

When I click this link, I see a login form with two fields for user and pass. I'm not getting that other version so I have not been able to test or fix the code.

So do I with Edge and Firefox from my desktop PC.
But from an iPhone with Safari I see just the username field.
Maybe something is detecting "mobile" browser.
User-Agent, cookies, cache, window width, zoom setting, ?

Sucks that a new issue is cropping up. I would like to add though, there's a check by every channel possible to get with our package. First time I've ever had all the channels that are supposed to work actually work. Not sure if anything changed? Hope this sign in thing gets resolved.

The same link gives me this:

It will on a mobile device, but your server isn't running on one, correct?
