[RELEASE] Stream Link/File Manager for Channels [Streaming Library Manager Extension]

Playground Stream Links
#402

Ah, I see, you are talking about in Channels. By default, Channels shows in order by station number. So you can either (a) manually change the station numbers in PLM to get the order you want or (b) [much easier] use a Channels Collection:

You can just add all from each source...

... and then sort alphabetically.

image

Just remember when you get new stations to also add them to the collection. You can also always check by running the report/query Channels DVR: Stations by Channel Collection and filtering for ones with "No Channel Collection Found":

I see this in my log, is there something I should change?

Oh, interesting, I hadn't considered a situation where you'd have bookmarks but not end up with any Stream Links/Files. This is now fixed:

#405

I have been using the STRM option for creating video links to some YouTube material and after an update of either Portainer or SLM itself, when I play a video through channels it only allows me to play it the initial time and if I attempt to play again I get a recording corrupted (-16) error. Any advice? Thanks.

This is not a noted or personally experienced behavior. Please provide details from the logs. First, repeat the actions and then get the info from the client logs:

Then, do the same and get details from the SLM logs:

If you aren't comfortable posting your logs here, feel free to PM me. Either way, please remember to put logs inside a Preformatted Text block.

This feels most likely like a local issue, either network or Docker, but I'll take a look.

EDIT: In prerelease testing, I have been able to do something like this using Tubi, but YouTube and Twitch don't cause me the error.

#407

Is anybody else getting 500 errors when adding labels to shows/movies?

It seems to error out when I try adding a custom stream link too. Bizarre

#408

I can't seem to replicate, everything is working for me:

image1920×885 158 KB

Is there something else in the logs from before there, like something that mentions a specific line of code?

Or could Tailscale be pointing somewhere wrong? What happens if you just use localhost or the ip address directly? Or are you using this remotely (haven't really done too much remote testing)?

#409

Same results really with my local ip. Haven't tried localhost (but I doubt it would work). Maybe I need to do some maintenance?

#410

Found this on top of my logs. Maybe something?

#411

I took a different approach and deleted the stack and was going to re-install to check if I did something wrong, then I saw this on the GitHub site For SLM Streams

WARNING: Currently, this is only working in Android/Google TV Channels DVR Clients and other third-party tools like VLC. There is a bug in the Channels DVR Apple TV client that must be resolved by the Devs there.

So, could this be one of my issues? I am using Apple TV as my client’s. Will re-install soon and also attempt the YouTube videos via a google client I could hookup, but it is strange that it initially worked with make STRM, but also I notice when receiving the error (-16) if I continue to attempt to play it will eventually play the video, then revert back to the error with a later attempt.

#412

It is. Basically, I figured out that if you try to import metadata (and particularly labels) from Channels and you don't have any (or any valid ones), it can corrupt certain data files, resulting in the errors you were seeing. This is now fixed so it won't happen again, but you might have to do a quick manual fix to reverse the damage. Details here:

I'm not getting anything like that in a new installation, but I'm not sure if something was moving too fast for you. That could happen if the Settings file doesn't exist. Even if the thread does start before the file exists for some reason, it will correct itself anyway once the file is created (it's constantly checking).

#413

This is your issue; as the warning says, Apple TV clients are not supported at this time. It's up to the Channels Devs to fix something related to ffmpeg in there, which I know they are hesitant to do because it could impact a lot of other functions. Sorry, there is nothing more I can do to work around it; I beat my head against a wall for weeks trying to find a way.

Still not working. Although, this time everything else works but setting the label :rofl:

Did you do the manual fix to get the headers back into the label files as shown in the link above?

Yep...and each file has their header rows so yeah :man_shrugging:

SLM deleting episodes it should not. The issue started with v2025.05.16.1232

The first delete in the log is correct. It then goes on to delete episode 11 for other shows even though they exist. See this log info:

Thank you for looking into this

#421

This is not an SLM issue; SLM is working exactly as expected. The problem lies with the metadata on JustWatch, on which SLM is dependent. If you follow the Troubleshooting / FAQ directions, you would see that those episodes are missing links to your streaming services. For instance:

Given the very specific pattern of episode 11 on Netflix, I'm fairly confident this is a temporary issue and they'll have it fixed by tomorrow. But if not, follow the directions from the link above to let them know.
