I've had the same issue today.

Check the XLMTV guide data you're pulling
first line has the timestamp (Unix epoch time) when it was generated generated-ts="1755674545"

If it's been more than a few hours since it was generated, ping Matt and let him know

Anyone else having any issues with the content playing? I have had no issues accessing content until the last few days, but videos no longer play. Any assistance is appreciated.

I am using it through docker, can access the :8182 port through my browser, can access the m3u and epg with no issues. It just creates an error when trying to play videos.

Check your container logs and server logs to see if they tell you anything. You might try to restart the container and see if that helps. They are working for me, but that really doesn't mean much.

Edit: I checked the UK feed too and it worked also.

looks like the user hasnt read the comments above about updating to latest docker
his is using old urls

Nevermind, I pulled via the command line as Matt suggested above. It worked perfectly. Apparently, when I recreated in portainer it was not pulling the latest docker. thx.

hello all. works good for me right off the bat. although im not getting a link for a channel i want. i specifically am looking for channel 1501 STN (Samsung Television Network)

Some Samsung channels are using Widevine and not able to be played back in Channels.
STN is one of those:

It's unfortunate but yeah STN will have to be piped in with a HDMI encoder.

unfortunately i cant even get that to work, I've tried for days. the only way i can get it to display is screensharing my phone to a Onn 4k tv, or a Roku but it looks rough compared to my s25/s8+ tab. when i do the built in app casting most channels don't even play and only show the Samsung TV+ logo. it tries to "load" the show for a few sec then logo forever. and a similar thing happens when i use a usbc to HDMI cable it just tries to load channel a few times then says something to the effect of not being able to connect to channel.

my on only solution-ish that seems to work. the only samsung out of 4 of mine, and some family members that work (tab s8+, fold3, s25U, A23 freebie, brothers s9+) is my S25U, and the solution is to screen view cast to a roku, and that's the only combo that works. otherwise i get a endless loading channel on a tv, the phone says cannot load this channel, or i get a black feed in the video frame. the kicker with the roku is even with the phone and wifi AP a couple feet away, the thing will randomly dissconnect or freeze for up to 5 sec then speed up like 300x to catch back up.
