Provider - YouTube TV

I ran accross an issue with the chrome used with the standard Synology package install (old version 97 that wouldn't update). I now run mine in a docker containers on the Synology (which uses a newer chrome version 109).

Looks like the devs finally took notice

To note, my second install is on a different Synology but otherwise same environment and was able to establish the TVE on that machine. I won't pretend to understand all the variables, just calling out that it works on one Synology and not the other.

Are they on the same DSM version?

They are not, the one I am having trouble with is a new version of DSM.

Server that isn't working properly: DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5
Server that is working properly: DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 2

Finally able to find time to check. I updated both to the Update 5 version and then tried to rescan channels that I'm having trouble with. On the original machine I am having trouble, still having errors (now says "no login form found") and on the other machine I can rescan and still get access to that machine.

Uninstalled and reinstalled and now getting this error when trying to install YTTV. Submitted the following log: 59d691b7-bfb7-4aba-88f3-ab7befed0dad

May have nothing to do with it, but what is Timezone "-05" ?

We are in the EST, see that on my other server as well.

UPDATE - Was able to get the server working. Had to check "it's me dummy" option in a security e-mail from Google and all of a sudden the channels would start scanning.

"Cable provider authentication failed"

YTTV has been returning this error for many of the Warner Bros. Discovery channels such as TCM, MTV, Food Network, Paramount. I went from 142 channels to 77 channels when I rescanned the channels.

I double-checked that 2FA is not required for YTTV.

if you want these channels, i would almost suggest using Philo for TVE.
Seems like the steady go to

Unfortunately Philo is not for sports enthusiast. Otherwise love their price and stability.

It’d be nice to know if this YTTV fail is permanent.

There's been disruptions in the past. My experience is devs try not to back themselves into a corner by comiting to a solution or timeframe, but they almost always deliver (ignoring the whole DRM thing for now which you can't really blame them as they aren't going to break any laws).

SUCCESS I used my gmail E-mail instead of Username and it verified, took 3-5 minutes but did it.
I just signed up for the 3 week free trial.
I tried adding source with my actual Username and got the failure.
Tried with my email and it worked !!!
EDIT: BYW when using the YTTV app there are 4 pre-selected Multi-screens which work in the YTTV app.
:+1:

Signed back up for YTTV and it connected fine with Channels first time. No issues. Not sure what made mine different but it worked smooth as silk.

Can't login to NFL Network or NFL Redzone. here's what I am seeing in the logs:

here's the log i submitted

de3b9760-4875-40c6-8fdd-c10d7174c4a4

NFL Network stopped working for me as well, so I opened a chrome browser to NFL Network | Watch Live Football Games & Events | NFL.com, signed in with my DirecTV credentials, then rescanned the NFL Network in the Channels admin page and it came back.

Note: I tried the same procedure first in a Safari browser and it didn't work, so go with Chrome.

Has anyone used a friends login to get be able to record outside of there home or is it geo-restricted?
