Still not getting a working stream. I get the channel in the guide, but it says it can't find the server.
Does that url play in VLC? Maybe it expired.
Probably easier to use via Pluto
True, but I wanted to bring in this one channel only instead of the 300 auto adds to the guide.
Just copy the one entry from their m3u then
And if anyone is curious what that would look like it is...

Make sure to map (manage lineup) the one channel to This Old House.
Yes it is over kill on the guide data since you are downloading the full guide data for every channel, but you will get the This Old House Guide Data.
and should look like this

I believe the docker/nocords xmltv guide data is better. It will pull out season/episode numbers if available, among other things.
From i.mjh.nz:

looks like i need to update my script 
Thanks, this is working great!
This is amazing, I appreciate it so much!
It seems the EPG data only goes about 1 day out, and I have to manually force the dvr server to reload the xml to get it to refresh.
Is there a way to tell the server to refresh the EPG xml more frequently?
Never mind. I see the refresh drop-down is right there in front of me!
Yeah, Pluto data sadly only goes back about 12 hours. You can get it to update hourly, as you found out. However, I do believe all the Pluto sources themselves only update every 3 hours.
Bumping this thread...
Now that the new season of TOH has started back up again on PBS, I'm finding that my Pass is not recording the shows on PBS.
For the record, I setup 2 passes, one for TOH on the Pluto streaming channel, and one for TOH on my local PBS channels. I modified the two passes so each one is hard-coded for a specific channel.
However, the pass for the streaming channel records fine, but the pass for the PBS channel isn't recording anything. When Iook at the "upcoming episodes" or whatever for the pass on PBS, the episodes show up. But they don't ever record.
Is there something else I need to do to make the pass for the PBS channel work?
Same exact thing here. I found I had to change the pass to all episodes instead of new episodes for it to find the new series. Seems that the shows are not getting tagged as new.
Ah, so I removed both TOH passes and did some experimenting. Looks to me like perhaps the issue of new episodes not recording may be unrelated to the fact that I have 2 different TOH passes. I think it is what mtnbrk60 said. This season's new episode on PBS are not getting flagged as new. So I set my TOH pass to record All. We'll have to wait-and-see a week or so to tell if that does the trick.
Strange.
zap2it shows them as New in the Show Episode Guide, but not on the grid guide or listings.

I added SeasonNumber > 43 to my pass
