Samsung TV Plus for Channels [retired]

Playground Custom Channels
#92

Looks like all xml files at his site are up to date Index of /SamsungTVPlus/

#93

Same here. I'm using these files directly and all appears to be working fine.

#94

I just set this up and its not working for me. Guide has the channels listed with no programming. I tried the direct urls and also the docker version and same result with both.

#95

I confirm, no details in the EPG.
This happened recently and @matthuisman had to do something to fix it. Hopefully this can be fixed too. :crossed_fingers:

Samsung TV+ with guide data is working for me right now. Using these URLs directly:

https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/us.m3u8
https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/us.xml

#97

i suspect every so often there is a program title or something that my script doesnt like. seems ok now again so can't catch the error. ill update my logging to keep old logs so hopefully next time we have issues I can see what it was and fix

#98

The url for the guide data has guide data. Channels is just not presenting it in the guide for some reason.

#99

It is displaying guide data on all of my clients, AppleTVs, MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad.

It's displaying guide data for me now. However, earlier today It was missing for me as well. The funny thing is, guide data for Pluto TV was missing during the same time.

Send diagnostics from the app when it happens. The apple apps can be picky about character encodings as well and fail to load data because of it.

@tmm1 I've got no guide data for Samsung for all of my clients as well as the server guide. I just submitted diagnostics b9482bf3-471f-4805-a20d-c71492c552ca

The data is there when I visit the url, channels just wont display it

Seems to indicate the data in the xmltv file is out of date (for past only)

I just submitted a case on github for @matthuisman . I am using the docker method but my epg.xml matches the online version 100% so i think something must be going on...

The docker just downloads the online version

#108

Is anyone else having a guide problem besides me? I compared my cached copy to the one online and it is stale. Unless I am doing something wrong

I just checked and my guide is also empty.
I'm using the URL in the custom channel (not docker).

I have been having guide issues for the past two days. It's not just for Samsung TV. Pluto TV is also not working. Both worked for a short time yesterday. Then they stopped working again overnight.

#111

Mine's toast. Win10 server, no Docker.

[edit] then 5 minutes later after I turned off the guide data refresh as a test it's working again.
