For me I was using an iPad to access the DVR web ui. After entering my username and password I tapped and held the button. Probably about ten to fifteen seconds later a notice popped up on my iPhone, which is logged into YouTube with the same account. I tapped that and clicked the acknowledgment that it was legit, and probably 15-20 seconds after that, the channels started to scan.
I am running Channels DVR Server on my QNAP, not Docker. Running pre-release 2021.08.01.2349. Showing 129 channels for YouTube TV. But not showing TBS,TNT and TCM. Able to log in directly to Watch TCM, but really wanting on Chanels.
When you edit the source and manage the channels and rescan them individually, what happens?

Thank you!!!! I was only doing a total rescan. I rescaned the channels individually and the channels are now included. I went from 129 channels to 141.
Thanks again for the help.

Wondering if there are any updates to share for getting YTTV TVE working on channels again. It seems some on NAS devices and random users are still able to login and make it work. Almost feels like the chrome version might be the culprit but that's just a stab in the dark.

Can't authenticate here also. Windows DVR server here.
It's as though the Channels authentication screen is either not passing the p/w or the Google auth system is not recognizing that the Channels screen is sending a p/w. The email goes fine, unless the Channels log deliberately hides the p/w reference.

I have noticed you can put anything in as the password with the same results. But I have also tried with a different account that has 2FA enabled and I do get a different error on that try.
Same here for me on Windows. I don’t understand why we are not hearing anything on this from the devs. I reported this back on 7/10 to support through email with logs and a complete description of what is happening. My Channels has been useless ever since.
Just wanted to say thanks for Channels DVR YouTube TV integration and authorization for TCM. I'm probably behind the times but I only recently became aware that YouTube TV is an authorized provider for TCM.
Because of that I'm finally able to kill cable. For years I've only had cable in order to watch and record from TCM (no DRM on TCM with Xfinity). Now I have the ability to record TCM regardless of cable provider or without any cable at all.
Perfect!

Still not working on Windows. I installed Channels on Docker yesterday and YouTube TV setup works perfectly fine there. Any update on a fix for the Windows install?
Cancelled AT&TV and got YouTube, cancelled after four hours and went back since Channels would not authenticate.
Getting set to cancel as well. Is AT&TV more consistent?
I want to do that but the lack of Red Zone and NFL network on ATTTV is an issue for my house. I might try Fubo...
Yes. Since Channels will become your gateway to DVR features and recording management, you really don’t rely on quality. The quality comes into play with the TVE. I like things simple, and to authenticate YouTube, just doesn’t cut it. BTW, I came from Hulu Live, to AT&TV because the package they had included HBO.
Is there any update on when the YTTV authentication will be fixed? I am still not able to authenticate YTTV, on Windows server or Pi server. I've tried several chrome, IE, Safari, along with the press and hold. I've logged into YYTV in the same browser, 2FA is not on.
The authentication shows "This browser or app may not be secure." Would be great to know if there is a fix planned.

Agreed. I'm trying a trail of youtube tv now and can't sign in.
I am having same issue with windows. Sure it will be figured out eventually.
I was unable to authenticate too until I turned off 2FA on my google account. As soon as I did that it authenticated right away and did the scan.
I just created another family account specifically for you tube TV that does not have two factor and authenticated with that.
