In the latest build he changed the delimiter from , to |
So you need to use REGIONS=us|ca|gb
See Samsung TV Plus for Channels
REGIONS can point to a single region or a | separated list of supported regions.
@matthuisman should update his https://github.com/matthuisman/samsung-tvplus-for-channels/blob/master/docker-compose.yml
@bnhf should update his compose also A docker-compose for every Channels-related extension -- suitable for Portainer-Stacks!
Have now updated that doker-compose 
Thanks for letting me know
It works now and regions need to be in quotation marks otherwise these is a bash error:
-e REGIONS='us|ca|gb'
Hi I'm trying to set this up I'm a novice at docker I'm getting the following error: permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Head "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/_ping": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.
See 'docker run --help'.
Any Help would be appreciated.
You need to be the root user to execute docker commands.
Use sudo docker ...
If you're going to be using command line docker instead of compose yaml, you'll need to learn the docker commands. Recommend that you install Portainer CE as an easier (GUI) way to manage your images and containers.
New bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2025.01.27) pushed this morning with updates to Project One-Click related to SamsungTVPlus-for-Channels. The delimiter character used when separating multiple regions for EPG data has been changed from a comma (,) to a vertical bar (|).
Follow the link for a description of a simple process for updating your Docker Compose when using Portainer-Stacks, or using the One-Click Action for new installations:
As a total noob, I'm having issues as well. I've followed all directions carefully and it looks like the docker container is running but once I try to extract the playlist url, I'm getting errors of connection refusal. "local host didn't send any data" Not sure where to go from here.
I would like to know how to set up Samsung Plus channels. I tried the link that Tolli posted but didn't work. I'm not sure how to install it into Channels. Can someone give me the installation procedure? I am still learning how to navigate and set up custom and virtual channels. Thanks
What is the XMLTV Guide data url now for Samsung TV?
Is your link for the playlist or guide data?
So, is it "YourLInk Above/us.xml" OR "docker url.us.xml" ?
@matthuisman
No longer working just now i noticed. no guide data.
It was working fine with url http://192.168.0.20:8182/epg.xml
But now i check the webpage of the container and it now give me:
http://192.168.0.20:8182/epg.xml?regions=us
When i try to change tha tin Channels, it at first gave a malformed error, i think. It went away.
Now it will not load any guide data.
The logs for the container in portioner have this:

I have no idea how to tell what version the container is, last i updated it was maybe a month or so ago?
I thought it used to say on the web page u load to via the urls what version it is.
I re-created the container as i have done before to update it, to make sure it is the latest version.
Still not getting any guide data in Channels
When i open the URL for the us guide, i get this.
This is still working for me using the latest image dated 2025-01-02 18:21:22

When i do a manual refresh in Channels

What does your docker compose or run command look like?
Multiple Regions in an environment variable now need to be seperated with | instead of ,
No idea? How do i find that? I don't use Compose, just normal docker (and use Portainer to view things)(
My notes from when i setup/installed it shows to use this..
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name samsung-tvplus-for-channels -p 8182:80 matthuisman/samsung-tvplus-for-channels
It been working fine for long time. Have not updated since (laast updated Dec 14) , only noticed no guide data this evening. Had data earlier today.
Sorry, just looked at my grid guide and there's no listings!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd"><tv generator-info-name="www.matthuisman.nz" generated-ts="1738690277">
generated-ts="1738690277" means the guide data was generated 11 hours ago.
@matthuisman
Not getting that broken pipe error anymore, but the logs show this when i try to pull data

Yah, it's downloading stale guide data.
