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.
Samsung still working for me. Do i need to change the url in Channels now or something?
I am still using
https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/us.m3u8
https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/us.xml
Edit. Nope. they dead now

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.
so dramatic 
just dont use this. solved!
Everyone else, the playlists are removed.

I still do not get it.. They are free to watch streams are they not? Why they claim a take down? Whatever. Cloudflare i have seen be weird on some things.
The urls still work fine for me. Still get guide data... still refresh even. Must be cached if they been removed. So, assume it will stop working soon for me.
Great... yesterday I lost all Xfinity channels, now Samsung.... the universe does not want me to be watching tv anymore i guess lol 
Guess i gonna have to figure out Docker thing if i want this back...
Question. How much power hardware wise does Docker things need for Channels?
This one, for Samsung, just generates a playlist, that not take much cpu or ram i assume?
But there are other Docker things for Channels is there not? They need more cpu or ram?
Just trying to decide if i need to setup Docker on something that has some decent hardware, or just a old pi SBC would do.

Yes, but their licensing terms probably indicate the streams are only meant for playback in their own apps, and they’re not meant to be available for recording, editing and/or commercial skipping in other apps. Just a guess though. Perhaps one day these FAST (Free Advertising-supported Streaming Television) providers will end up encrypting their streams too

Put it this way. I'm running 9 docker containers, including this one, on my 11 yr old NAS w/2GB RAM.

it wasnt cloudflare, it was a takedown from pluto.
I decided its not worth the risk of hosting the other playlists as well so removed them.
The EPGs are still being generated.
They may be back if I can find a better place to host them thats away from my server for other stuff
But i think i still prefer my plan to have users generate the playlists themselves locally.
Its a lot harder to stop that

Take a few minutes of your time and setup docker and learn enough to meet your needs.
I'm quite happy to generate lists locally.
I even setup docker instance on windows and it isn't a huge deal.
Pluto? Well nocords url seems to have no issues, yet.
Pluto is my main source, (Samsung and Plex have many of the same channels streams) but Samsung has a few channels i like that are not in others.

I installed Docker via DietPi-software UI on my other CDVR server. Ran the pull code and run code.
I got the new urls.
How often does this refresh the data in the xml gudie vs the previous ulrs?
Also, the Channel numbers all changed. Not sure if they will conflict with Pluto or others now.
Both now and before, i had set to use the channel number from the m3u.
Samsung uses 1001 - 4585
Pluto uses 0 - 5264
I find it best to let Channels DVR assign the channel numbers.
It remembers what channel number it assigned to a channel-id, so the channel numbers won't change.
