Actually, I wanted to see logs from Infuse. I know what SLM is up to 
Yeah, when I did a quick search I saw the user requests for functionality there (and with Emby) and linking to Channels articles about them, such as:
I think there's some slight differences in the implementation, but otherwise a pretty good copy job.
Well...I can't get the logs from Infuse so...yeah
Ah well! Like I said, I'm 90% certain I know exactly what is happening and you are spot on with what you said in the other thread about the Channels Devs needings to update and make some changes to FFMPEG (it's what I sent them half a year ago). Was hoping there was something Infuse was showing that I could point the Devs towards so they can make the fix.
Actually, I believe I really narrowed it down to the forced use (or really, lack thereof in the Apple clients compared to the Android clients) of Libavformat, aka lavf, for demuxing.
https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/3.4/group__libavf.html
For instance, this is what I see on the Android clients:
03-17 19:26:10.185 32497 32539 V mpv : [demux] Trying demuxers for level=force.
03-17 19:26:10.187 32497 32539 D mpv : [demux] Trying demuxer: lavf (force-level: force)
03-17 19:26:10.212 32497 32539 V mpv : [lavf] Found 'hls' at score=100 size=1337.
And this is what happens on the Apple ones:
2025-03-17 14:15:56.458 [u=231.3MB f=1866.6MB] [1.22s] [demux] v: Trying demuxers for level=force.
2025-03-17 14:15:56.466 [u=239.8MB f=1858.2MB] [1.23s] [ffmpeg] error: Not detecting m3u8/hls with non standard extension and non standard mime type
2025-03-17 14:15:56.469 [u=229.8MB f=1868.2MB] [1.23s] [ffmpeg] error: Not detecting m3u8/hls with non standard extension and non standard mime type
2025-03-17 14:15:56.470 [u=229.8MB f=1868.2MB] [1.23s] [lavf] v: No format found, try lowering probescore or forcing the format.
That lack of [demux] Trying demuxer: lavf (force-level: force) seems to be everything. Then again, I know nothing about programming in Apple, so I could be way off base. Still, that is where I'd start!
What I've loved most about Channels DVR, along with SLM, is that it provides one unified interface of new curated content to browse and watch comfortably from the couch without having to bounce around through many apps' screens or maintain multiple queues and watchlists. This has been the "holy grail" for media enthusiasts for a long while and nothing else out there provides such a customizable and personalized interface. And sure, I could use Plex Media Server along with Infuse here, but the idea was that I wanted this particular streaming YouTube content to be indexed, browsable and accessible from the current #1 app in our family, which is Channels.
That said, I understand there's a difference between the ffmpeg on tvOS and whatever is used on AndroidTV, which explains why these links aren't playing on AppleTVs but play fine on Andoid TV's. I'm not sure what it'll take to get fixed, or even if it ever will be fixed, so I'm just brainstorming for workarounds in the meantime so AppleTV users can also take advantage of this great integration and utility that SLM is bringing to the table.
The next idea I had, is inspired by how other AppleTV apps handle external links of this nature, simply as Stream Links. I use News Explorer to follow some RSS feeds. The first time I select a YouTube link, I see this alert:
I click "open" and the video plays via YouTube. When the video's complete I tap back a few times and I'm returned to News Explorer. Just like any working Stream Link.
So then this line of thinking leads to my next feature request. @babsonnexus, can we get a toggle for YouTube subscriptions that allows us to choose whether or not we want the original YouTube link passed through instead, so we AppleTV users can access it as a Stream Link, as opposed to the SLM-ified stream file, that won't play? At least in the meantime.
Because even the parsing of subscriptions and the presentation inside Channels makes it a very worthwhile addition. It helps us to stay focused on the subscriptions we've already chosen and not get distracted by all the other noise presented inside the YouTube app itself.
You can already do this. Just change the Special Action from Make SLM Stream to None and it will become a Stream Link instead of a Stream File.
Assuming a Stream Link with a YouTube address inside is allowed for deep linking, you should be all set!
Great, I’ll check it out when I get home later and will report back. Thanks!
Got it, it's working! I'm playing one MKBHD review now.
I'm curious if it's possible to import the most recent 20 from his whole channel, or if I have to select specific videos and/or specific playlists? Because I've discovered many new videos on this popular channel that aren't assigned to a playlist, but that do appear here: https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd
For any bookmarked/subscribed Channel, you'll currently get up to the 100 most recent uploads that are public (re: not private or unlisted), with some caveats. Complete details on the Wiki:
And also here:
You'll have to select the videos you want and place them in your own Video Groups / Playlists. Future functionality on the roadmap will make it possible to eliminate these limitations, give the ability to do things like sync playlists, or create rules you like you described, but not anytime soon.
Ah, OK, thanks for that clarification. And that roadmap is exciting, but of course I'll remain patient on any movement there. Obviously the ability to "set and forget" a YouTube subscription, so that all new content is automatically presented as browsable and accessible in the Channels app (via regular old Stream Link or SLM Stream) without having to manually add the individual videos we're interested in ahead of time, would be an absolute game changer in this space.
@babsonnexus, thanks for all you do! This is incredible, inspiring work you're sharing here.
I've been thinking about this some more and trying to find workarounds, but to no avail. Basically, we'd need the Channels DVR server to process something like a .strm as if it were a real video file. Actually, if Channels would scan in .m3u, m3u8, asx, and/or something similar where a plantext link can be inserted and processed, and the server just did the same things it does for linear stations with that link, then it would resolve everything. I tested this in VLC and it all worked fine, but Channels wouldn't accept it. Even faking it as something like a .mp4 didn't work because the scanner refused to process the mostly empty file without certain components that identify it as true video.
So, in summary, either the Channels app on Apple TV needs an update to resolve this using existing methods, or the Devs would need to create a way to process linked videos on server so we aren't dependent on the clients at all.
I should probably consolidate my topics:

YouTube is on the warpath! They even managed to partially knock out my tier 4 backup option that force combines separate audio and video together.
I'm hopeful that yt-dlp can find an easy solution, but am concerned the real answer is going to be requiring a login, which I don't relish adding. The timing couldn't be better because I'm like 85% of the way through a major YouTube-related update. I'll see if I can get a more stable workaround up, at least for the live stations.
Just an FYI, YouTube is screwing around with rolling changes and A/B testing, so my results and your results stand a good chance of diverging at any various point. For instance, I just tested Kitten Academy Live and it was working with the tier 4 backup option.
Another short-term (or long-term) possibility for the live stations is that you could switch to using the MPEG-TS option (either manually or using managed Streaming Stations. This method uses Streamlink (no relation) instead of yt-dlp, and it appears to be working with no issues for the time being. I do find it to be a tad slower starting the stream, but compared to tier 4, that's not much of a difference.
Also, SmartTube is having no issues whatsoever, so far as I can tell. I've never been able to figure out how they do it and replicate, though, so maybe I'll take another crack at it.
I'm having a lot of hell with getting stuff via ytdl-sub as I had to use a throwaway account AND a throwaway browser to get my cookies. I think having an account is gonna be necessary ON TOP of yt token origin. Uncle G is fighting us like beavers!!
Clever. He took yt-dlp and took it to another level by minting his own PO token using Android WebView.
I changed the m3u url in the Channels DVR source from this
to this, and changed it from an HLS to a MPEG-TS source and it's working so far
http://192.168.1.4:9001/playlists/streams/stream_mpegts?url=https://www.youtube.com/@KittenAcademy/live
I just discovered that something happened in a recent update to Streamlink that makes it a viable replacement for static videos, too (tested all the way up to Channels)! It used to reject that before (literally, it would return something like "use yt-dlp for that"), but is actually working now! I'm going to add something so users can switch to using the MPEG-TS method instead of HLS, and that should fix this issue.
I'm curious to see if the MPEG-TS method might work on the Channels Apple TV app, which would certainly be wonderful, but I'm not holding my breath because I'm assuming the ffmpeg issues are going to be the same.
Additionally, I've already built a function so you can turn YouTube videos into Stream Links instead while not having to do any of the manual steps. In other words, they'll stay SLM Streams, but end up as Stream Links so they can be used if any method fails or if a user just wants to use the YouTube or a YouTube-associated app (i.e., SmartTube) instead. This is already available in prerelease and I've been testing to good results.
This will be possible in the next release (also available in prerelease), too!
Sweet! Very much looking forward to this, whenever it's ready.
As of v2026.07.28.1543, all of the changes mentioned above and more are ready. Check out the release notes and the Wiki! Suffice to say, the Video / Video Channels bookmarking, metadata retrieval, and playback process has been almost completely revamped.
Also as of this version you could theologically use the Live Stream (HLS) option again, but I recommend sticking with the Live Stream (MPEG-TS) option. It's a touch slower, but much more stable for the long term.
I will be continuing to investigate and develop ways to stabilize and get some performance back, but that's going to put on the backburner for quite a while since all of this is working very well. I'd like to see the helper tools like yt-dlp be moved further along first before I start investing time and effort into trying to work around the current state of things in relation to YouTube.
Thanks, I'll try out the Live Stream (HLS) option again.
The Live Stream (MPEG-TS) option has been working for me, so far
