Progress looks great.
thanks for showing things off.
Very much looking forward to trying this out.

Getting very, very close! You can now see in the GitHub repo that basically everything is filled in save a preview/help video and some more FAQ / Troubleshooting (less the entire software, of course). I'm feeling really good about stability and ease/options of deployment.

@Rwbisme, I just wanted you to know that Mac-related troubleshooting is driving me 
I kid, it's all good to find these issues in beta and knock them out. I'm hopeful we're within the last few beta iterations before wide release!

We are now live! Please follow the directions above:
And again, I cannot thank enough Alpha/Beta testers (in no particular order), who, without their help, this would not be possible: @jasonmcroy, @mgantt87, @Fofer, @bnhf, @mjitkop, and @Jean0987654321
If you are using Olivetin / Project One-Click, it should be available on there in a short while.
For anyone having any issues or questions, please continue the conversation below...

Trying to set this up, having issues finding the Channels folder thru Docker on MacOS. I have the env variable set to /Volumes/External990Pro/DVR, but it errors out. Trying to navigate to it in the web settings, I can only see internal Docker folders. How do I get the host folders thru Docker?
EDIT to add that my Channels on MacOS is running natively, not in a docker container, if that makes a difference.
Please share the error. Also, let's see a screen shot of your environment variables.
This is expected behavior:
https://github.com/babsonnexus/stream-link-manager-for-channels#settings-channels-directory
No impact, should actually make your life easier than trying to get two containers to talk to each other!
Error:
Environmental Vars:
The error says to set the folder in Settings, but I can't find it. Also the default Channels URL is incorrect, but I can fix that. Not sure how it determined that.
EDIT - Watching the setup video (prior was just reading the written setup instructions) and clicking into /app/channels_folder/ it is showing my folders and files, so it seems the error message is wrong?
Got this working. Pretty sweet!! Combined with the Personal Sections, I can now get AppleTV+ functionality in Channels and see when new streaming episodes pop up (a least it seems that this is now a possibility!) Thanks for sharing!!!

Glad you got it working! Just wanted to point out that there was no error, just info warnings that the program couldn't figure out your Channels folder and URL during installation, so you had to set those manually in Settings as shown in the instructions on the repo and in the video. This is normal and expected behavior, especially for Docker installations.

Congrats on this release @babsonnexus, the work you put into it is great and really appreciated. It deserves to be met with wide acclaim here and everywhere and I’m happy to help with feedback along the way! I appreciate the flexibility you built into the newest version, that makes SLM more scalable and easier to maintain moving forward. I'm still entering my AppleTV+ titles and will certainly have more questions when I move onto the next phase of my movie library transmogrification.
In the meantime, what's the best way to upgrade from the "slm_docker" download running on my Mac now, to the latest release of the Github-hosted SLM? For future updates and for watchdog to be able to handle it regularly? I'm sure that gets handled on this page, but what do I enter? Thanks...

I imagined this last year but had no way to implement it. So you can watch/record hulu/netflix/amazon prime/tubi/freevee/peacock with this and its like cc4c using the host pc & ad blocker. Had no idea this was a thing. Can you just record or can you watch too?
Does directv on demand and spectrum on demand work as well?
It would be nice if we could use some form of scrapper so all of this could be automatic.
New bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2024.09.12) pushed with Project One-Click support for Stream Link Manager for Channels -- congrats to @babsonnexus!
EDIT: A docker-compose for every Channels-related extension – suitable for Portainer-Stacks! updated to include the compose particulars for this project as well. 
In light of the above, should I just run Project One-Click? Will it keep my existing SLM collection in place or should I be handling this beta-to-release upgrade some other way? 
Looks like the only change you need to make is to image:
image: ghcr.io/babsonnexus/stream-link-manager-for-channels:${TAG:-latest}
Stop the stack, change that one line, and you should be good-to-go.
It's exactly as @bnhf said, the only thing that's changed from Beta is the Image location. You will also want to delete the old Image after you upgrade. There is no reason why you couldn't move over to Project One-Click; you just need to point to the volume you already had before. Conversely, you could just export all the csv files, start over, and import those into the new installation to get all your settings, bookmarks, etc... back. SLM is designed to be completely portable, with the application and data being disparate items.
No, not like cc4c.
Stream Links open up the Hulu, Netflix, Prime, Tubi, Freevee, Peacock, etc... stand-alone apps. You see the content listed as regular Movies and Episodes in Channels, but when you click to launch them they open up the app where the content is and plays there. In other words, you leave the Channels app and open the Hulu app and it plays in there.
What you are describing is more akin to PlayOn (recording). This is all about watching without the need to download files! The big thing this resolves is you never need to care WHERE a Movie or Show is anymore; this program takes care of all that for you.
Spectrum on Demand is an available source:
DirectTV on Demand does not appear to be available, but if you look at the FAQ / Troubleshooting section on the repo I explain what you can do about that. There is always the option to use manual overrides, so if you have a link, it will work.
That's exactly what Stream Link Manager for Channels is! You'll definitely want to read the repo and/or watch the video. Or better yet, just install it and give it a try!
