Maybe @bnhf could share examples that he implemented in OliveTin with project One-Click. 
Internal Server Error...
Hi All, first time posting.
I just updated to the latest V2025.01.16.1518 but I also saw it in the previous version.
BTW, thanks for this latest update, as it helps a lot when I'm assigning the channels due to the new search function when selected the Parent Station field.
Anyway, here is my issue. I am assigning my channels, and I then save them. I do about 10 at a time.
After it saves, then I click the button to Update the m3u and xml.
It works (spins) for a bit and then it gives me the internal server error.
I'm not sure if it actually crashes, as I just reload the main web page and I'm back up and running.
None of the container logs shows there was an issue, only the screen and the log in SLM (via Controls, Logs).
Below is a part of the SLM log that's of interest.
Note that the only time I get the error is when I try and Update the m3u.
Also note that it does indeed gives me a new m3u as when I load it in VLC, I actually see the increase in the number of channels I had added/assigned.

I just want to say how much I appreciate the detailed documentation you produce for your projects. First rate!
Welcome to the community, @Waffles!
Okay, I see the issue. Your link to the XML Guide Data is a shortened URL to a compressed (.gz) file and PLM is expecting a direct link, looking for the link to end in .gz. This will be fixed in the next release (already tested a solution). In the meantime, you could either:
-
Use the non-compressed/"XML Format" link available at your provider
-
If you are concerned about the size and download time of the guide data, you could use the direct link to the compressed version by getting the "raw" link
-
If you are using Gracenote matching with the Parents, though, you could just remove the link to the XML Guide Data entirely as it is unnecessary
Sounds like a working version of hlstube on steroids.

@babsonnexus - Thanks for the reply and the tip. I was able to get it to work using the uncompressed format. It took 4 minutes to download the xml file though.
The reply will be in two posts...one for the update on pulling the raw xml file... the second post will be a follow-up on the raw .gz file...
Part 1: Here is a portion with the other .gz files for comparison:

The issue is while I don't get the error, the screen never changes from Processing - Please wait while the process completes...
I waited over 10 minutes and then finally just reloaded the page...
@babsonnexus
This is part 2... this is just a fyi in case you see something that either I missed or if something else needs a review.
So, first I tried to use the raw .gz link to the file...
Unfortunately, it still gave me the 500 error...
Here's that part of the log:

Follow up- I guess I didn't wait long enough... I redid the update xml link and left the computer to do something else.. when I returned, I had the console back and below is the log. I guess the previous entry wasn't 10 minutes.

The link in your log to the .gz file isn't the right raw link; it's the Github location link (i.e., how Github renders). You'd need to click on the file and then select "Raw" to get the raw link.
FYI, I also recommend you just turning on MTM Automation instead of continually running updates in the foreground.
@babsonnexus Got it on both tips...
I found the other Raw link and updated my playlist...
I had already set up the automation, set it to run every 6 hours...
I was just doing the manual pull to test the process and trying to make it work.
Thanks again for the assist.
PUT http://<channels DVR IP>:8089/providers/m3u/sources/<name of source without spaces>
Example with IP = 127.0.0.1 and source name = "Test":
PUT http://127.0.0.1:8089/providers/m3u/sources/Test
JSON payload:
{
"name": "Test",
"type": "HLS",
"source": "URL",
"url": "http://localhost:5000/playlists/uploads/plmss_hls_m3u_01.m3u",
"text": "",
"refresh": "24",
"limit": "",
"satip": "",
"numbering": "",
"logos": "",
"xmltv_url": "",
"xmltv_refresh": ""
}
This will create a custom source named Test on the Channels DVR server located at 127.0.0.1:8089 and it will look like your screenshot on your Github:
This is good info, thank! Thus, it will be done:

I've been busy travelling so hadn't checked this out yet. Just wanted to say, this is a great implementation and it's working superbly over here. Assigning new channels is soooo much quicker now. Thanks for this update. Thanks for PLM and SLM and your excellent documentation! You rock!

This is awesome too! Wow, nicely done. I'm migrating over my favorite livestreams, that I previously integrated via the Kister Method. This new SLM feature is working very well and has some more customizability I'm really appreciating! It's certainly a more scalable workflow. One request I'd like to submit would be the option for some streams, for us to be able to turn off the time blocks. These are 24/7 backgroud music, ambient or white noise we'd never record anyway.
So rather than this:
I'd like to be able to make some of these streams appear in the guide as channels like this:
The continuous block helps with a visual cue that this is a 24/7 stream, not intended for recording, differentiating it from other channels with different episodes every hour, half hour, or whatever. Others may feel differently so if we could configure it, per stream, that would be great!
Ah, I was just gonna guess or suggest entering "0" to remove the blocks.
But you're miles ahead of me. Thanks again, times a million!
Where is this note, by the way? I'm not seeing it in the documentation, wondering where it is and what else I may have missed.
It's Channel's documentation, not SLM:
But I'll add something similar to the pop-up note, too, in the next release.
I've only just started, this is what mine looks like:
I don't think my "Test" button is working like yours though. I'm on a Mac. When I paste in a YouTube URL and click "Test," it just opens the YouTube page, as a seperate tab. It doesn't turn it into HLS or stream in a thumbnail, corner or popup. (I did have to allow pop-ups for even that to work, though.) And I tried with Safari and Chrome.
I'm not sure what else to try but maybe this is a Mac-specific bug.
