Provider - YouTube TV

For you Windows users, has Youtube TV been playing nicely with Channels DVR recently? Thinking of switching back to youtube, but last time wasn't so good with authentications as I recall.

I'm staying withFuBO.
The channels are available on a docker and TVE works correctly.
I still have YTTV setup on ADBTUNER so if I want I can put stuff in place but won't be using TVE.

Anybody else having problems with Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT? I changed my setup and had to rescan channels. Been re-trying for about 12 hours now. Running latest pre-release (2024.04.04.1838) on Synology in Docker container.

These are the only 3 not working. Other Viacom channels (Comedy Central, MTV, VH1) are working. I tried logging into the Paramount Network website with YTTV credentials and that worked.

Getting error below:

mtvn cAccessToken: mtvn refreshAccessToken: POST: https://auth.mtvnservices.com/accessToken/refresh?clientId=cmt-web&countryCode=us: 401 Unauthorized: "{"errorCode":"InvalidToken","userMessageTitle":"Oh no!","userMessageBody":…ge":"Message not available","traceId":"6ddfec2be79245728ae001a4000fcecd"}"

I am having the exact same problem and it likely started on 4/22. Are you still having the same problem? Thanks!

Yes. I've tried rescanning several times, including a few moments ago. Paramount, TVL and CMT still not working. All others seem to be working normally.

Are you on the latest pre-release version? A couple of TVE fixes were delivered this week.

You need to give us much more details to get some help. .

Anyone having problems with Comedy Central today? Yesterday was fine, but today https://www.cc.com/live-tv give a 404 error, trying to watch live tv on a browser takes you to the YouTube tv interface instead of starting the stream on the cc site.

Yep, they've removed the live feed from their websites.
See Lost TVLand, CC, CMT, LOGO, MTV and PARAMOUNT

Recently switched from DirectTV Stream to Youtube TV. I appear to have lost TVE access to the Discovery channel. Gives the following error:
playback info: access.denied.missingpackage: Discovery

Go to the channel under the settings and scan it. Also make sure you're on the latest prerelease

If that don't work, delete and add the TVE credentials again

Switching to the pre released and scanning again did the trick. Thanks!

Hi, I have been using YouTube TV through TVE for quite some time. I have the basic subscription which only supports up to three devices. I have been wondering if I am limited to only three YTTV TVE channels at a time? Or does Channels DVR count as a single device, regardless of the number of simultaneous programs from a provider.

I ask because I just set up YTTV through ADBTuner and I'm fairly sure that each ADBtuner device counts toward my streaming limit. I currently have two devices set up as tuners. I'm wondering if the TVE channels also add to my total instances/devices. :thinking:

TVE access is directly with each network rather than with YTTV

Thanks! That's cool. I was hoping that this is the case. In fact, I just did a test. I had both ADBTuners recording. Plus I had five TVE channels recording and one TVE channel watching from a separate device. None were kicked off.
I suppose the only time I might hit the YTTV streaming device limit would be if TVE channel availability continues to decline, and I have to add more ADBTuner devices.

Just add 4kplus to your account and tuner sharing issues go away (when it becomes a problem)

Does this increase the quality for any TVE channels?

No becuase TVE doesnt interface directly with YTTV
