I did the pre-release a few days ago and the chrome update also (chrome was on version 97.xx)... now all my YTTV channels are getting the 'secure browser' error.
I tried to restore on my QNAP NAS which took me back to release 9/15/23 but YTTV still doesnt work anymore for me. I deleted the tuner and created it new as well as tried to restore.
Anybody seen this error “ Auth failed for YouTubeTV: could not dial” ?
Full log below.
Running latest channels beta on Raspberry Pi.
Trying to login to YoutubeTv.
Verified in support running latest chrome version.

Additional info:
So I then went to Support, Troubshooting binside of the software and it showed the following error
TV Everywhere
Chrome installation is corrupted. Please re-install Chrome.
Click here to upgrade Chrome
So I upgraded Chrome and ran the TV Everywhere login again and it ACTUALLY WORKED! SO HAPPY!
Duplicated your finding.
Chrome corruption message wasn’t showing yesterday. Updated and it worked with 2FA even.
I had been getting the " Blocked by Google: This browser or app may not be secure" error on my RPi4. I moved my Channels server to a Sinology 923+ and have the same issue. For grins I installed Channels server onto my MacBook Pro just to see if it would be different and it worked like it is supposed to.
Is there any way to get that authorization to transfer from my Mac to my Sinology? Any other options?
Getting the same thing no channel will authenticate error unsecured browser
Updated to latest pre stable and rescan and nothing authenticated except the news sub channels
is this exclusive to yttv?
saw same issue on directv source
Yes.
thanks. guess i cant use yttv at all wont even let me add source now.
the dtv issue must be different, discovery not working anymore
After months of no TVE using YTTV credentials on a RPi4, I used your press-and-hold method on an iPhone and it worked.
That didn’t help
You could try running it in a docker container YouTubeTV TVE failing: This browser or app may not be secure - #34 by chDVRuser
or try this fix YouTubeTV TVE failing: This browser or app may not be secure - #79 by eric
Thanks. I tried the 2nd one. It did not work, but I submitted on that thread. We will see if Eric can help me.
Is anyone else having issues with NHKWORLD? Seems like the stream link is invalid (https://nhkworld.webcdn.stream.ne.jp/www11/nhkworld-tv/global/2003458/live.m3u8: 404 Not Found).
Also is BBC America HD missing for anyone else? I can still access it by logging into Watch Live TV Stream | BBC America with my youtubetv login but Channels TVE doesn't seem to be finding it.
NHK is just an extra channel that Channels provide so that'll need to be sorted out. In the interim, you could use the kister method to pipe it in to channels
As for BBC America, there's an issue with AMC owned streams ATM so...yeah. Post logs to the developers via email (or new thread here) and hope and pray that'll be fixed
Update to the latest Channels DVR Pre-Release version and see if that fixes it.
When i use FUBO as my lg in, AMC seems to be fixed on the latest pre-release.
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.
