I don't think you could add TVE otherwise.
Can you not use an account name without recovery (2FA) options?
If not, guess you're SOL.
Yeah its the tve image. Problem is that it requores you to click an option. Something specific to docker becasue standalone linux works great
Can you do this?
No recovery phone/email/etc.
I can w/Xfinity, but not familiar w/UTUBE

Yep. Just set up another account as a family member without 2FA and it should work
Its something specific to docker... the acct is a family acct with no 2fa. Works fine for tve access on standalone linux but the same acct will not work on a docker container.
Saw this in the other YTTV thread. Might be an issue with Chromium bundled with Channels? @tmm1 Could this be the cause?

so I just signed up for YTTV and I keep getting this "blocked by Google" error. I have tried EVERY browser. 2FA is off and I have tried multiple google accounts. what am I doing wrong?
also I'm using a synology NAS with docker
What cpu version are you using? I couldn't get the ARM version to work, only X64 version.
INTEL Celeron J4125
Hmm, I thought the J series were ARM processors.

does that mean I will not be able to get youtube TV to work on channels?

I just confirmed that the INTEL Celeron J4125 is NOT an ARM processor
Should work then. I don't have an active YTTV account, so others will have to way in. I used Fubo along with FUBO Project for my primary channels and supplement with Philio and have no issues with TVE validation.
I tried to convert an old ARM based NAS for a friend who uses YTTV, but had issues with embedded Chrome and couldn't get it to work.
Did you click on troubleshooting and make sure chrome is updated to the latest version? I think it should be 114 for the built in chrome version. Prior versions would get blocked by google to login if I remember right.
Please try updating to the latest pre-release and try running:
curl -XPOST http://<dvr-ip>:8089/providers/tve/chrome
and then try to authenticate again and let us know if it is any better.

Now having issues with authenticating with YouTube where it tries to "Verify it’s you" and asks for verfication either from gmail app or phone. Could really use manner by which at a minimum could see the number google is needing to authincate prior to it timing out. Google 2FA is disabled. See the following logs:
f3911b35-e28c-415c-9d5c-1d05ec533fad
f97bddab-81d4-4177-94d5-efb132abfc51
sheesh!
I think the issue is that Google has effectively disabled "less secure app" access previous to the drop dead date of Jan 2025

It would seem that Channels just needs to update the login code/capability to use oAuth via Sign in with Google vs simple username/password

Nothing for YTTV will work for sure after the January date. The Channels app needs to be updated to work with google's sign in capabilities (2FA should work then) since sign in with google is done separately and passes a token back. Zoom, Calendly, etc all use the new mechanism to authenticate.
Seems that Channels needs to update to the Google Login times to work. This is not something a user can fix or work around. The app trying to connect in this case Channels needs to me the google login standards and we'd have TVE back for that provider.
"I think the issue is that Google has effectively disabled "less secure app" access previous to the drop dead date of Jan 2025."
This is big.
Lets hope the devs can enable this, may make YTTV easier in the end??
