Samsung TV Plus for Channels [retired]

Everyone is going to have to wait until Matt fixes whatever the issue it.
There are new xml guide files showing up on his server every hour, but the guide data inside them is stale (last updated yesterday)

Doesn't matter if you're using the docker or not.

the problem was the nginx redirect file had a bad entry so the nginx config would not reload.
Therefore, the redirect was pointing at an old commit of the epg on github

Thats why the timestamps were being updated on i.mjh.nz and also the files were updated on github.

Should be fixed now

confirmed working. oddly enough, I did not have to download a new docker container.

The docker container just passes along what is on his website for the playlist and epg.
https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/us.m3u8
https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/us.xml

Yep all Matt's services back up and running

I was doing the same with another channel to get gracenote guide data and it broke a couple days ago.

Matt has changed the stream urls inside his playlist https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/us.m3u8 from https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/... to https://jmp2.uk/SamsungTVPlus/...

So just edit the stream url and
replace i.mjh.nz
https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/US4000033L.m3u8
with jmp2.uk
https://jmp2.uk/SamsungTVPlus/US4000033L.m3u8

Looks like it also changed for his Plex playlist

I changed mine to avoid these issues in the future by just pointing the new channel with gracenote guide data (12001) to the existing channel number (10237) and leaving them both enabled. I set the new channel (that uses gracenote EPG) to a higher channel number than the existing one, so passes would use the new channel for recording.

And that caused other issues. So now using a two source method. Kind of like with Frndly.

No guide data again.

@matthuisman
It's 4am in New Zealand and the Samsung EPG us.xml file on your website https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/ hasn't been updated for 17 hours.

should be back

Looks good now. Thanks.

The Samsung, Plex, and Stirr folders on i.mjh.nz all appear to be empty, viewing in browser window. Attempts to manually download the m3u via browser yield 404.

Came here to say this. My own logs (at least for Plex) indicate 404s started sometime today between 3:50am & 4:50am EST (US), though I'm not sure if that's remotely helpful.

That playlist m3u8 doesn't exist anymore.
Just replace the url's in your existing custom m3u channel with the ones from this new docker.

Seamless source replacement if you have CDVR assigning channel numbers. None of them will change and your favs and hidden channels stay the same.

but you took it out of your github. so i can’t tell if it still hinges on phoning home to you or not.

What? I don't use docker. Those urls are local ip addresses. I confused. U saying can no longer have Samsung Channels unless i use docker?

nocords for Pluto and Stirr still working fine and they just simple m3u urls, but that is different than this Samsung source.
