Tubi for Channels docker

[joagomez]

Version 3.00 Released

Total rework of the container to hopefully fix many of the issues of late with improved API calls, error handling and thread handling. Plus improved logging

[IwantWMC]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

[chDVRuser]

Thanks. Plus more guide data (almost 2 days) now

[mjitkop]

If the docker only provides up to 2 days of EPG, how is it possible that the Super Bowl is already scheduled for you to record on the Tubi channel?

[chDVRuser]

The non-Gracenote guide data channels only have 2 days EPG.
According to @joagomez, Tubi has mapped the wrong guide data (Gracenote Station ID) to the Dog the Bounty Hunter channel, which is one of the channels with Gracenote guide data. It's mapped to a Fox streaming channel.

@chDVRuser

Dog the Bounty Hunter(tubi-400000088) mapped to FNPCHIC(105981,FNP Chico, CA)

I'm using two sources for Tubi, like FrndlyTV

[mjitkop]

Thank you for the explanation. It was mapped to a FOX linear channel, which has normal EPG.

Makes sense.

[chDVRuser]

Yep, for me it's mapped to

  {
    "type": "Streaming",
    "name": "FNP Chico, CA",
    "callSign": "FNPCHIC",
    "stationId": "105981",
    "bcastLangs": [
      "en"
    ],
    "preferredImage": {
      "uri": "https://tmsimg.fancybits.co/assets/s103482_ll_h15_aa.png?w=360&h=270",
      "height": "270",
      "width": "360",
      "primary": "true",
      "category": "Logo",
      "text": "",
      "tier": ""
    },
    "videoQuality": {
      "signalType": "Digital",
      "videoType": "HDTV",
      "truResolution": "HD 720p"
    }
  }

May be different depending on your location (I'm not in Chico, CA).

The Tubi-for-Channels Project One-Click Action now automatically creates two CDVR Custom Channels sources for you. One containing those channels with Gracenote guide data available, and the other for the channels that need XML data.

More details here:

Project One-Click: All-in-One Installations of Docker Extensions and CDVR Custom Channels

New OliveTin-for-Channels Project One-Click bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2025.01.30) pushed this morning with improved support for Tubi-for-Channels. Two Custom Channel Sources are now created along with the Portainer-Stack when using the One-Click Action. The first source is called Tubi TV and includes all channels that have Gracenote guide data. When specifying a CDVR starting channel number in the Action, that number will be used in the custom sources. The second source is calle…

this should be corrected the next time the channel list gets updated with a manual change I've included.
Will see the following in the log

[INFO] Updating Dog the Bounty Hunter with 150981 from 105981

So obviously a typo in tubi DB

[chDVRuser]

Thanks, no more Super Bowl on Dog the Bounty Hunter channel.

And to answer my own question

@chDVRuser

How often should it be pulling EPG from Tubi?

Looks like it fetches 26 hours of EPG every 6-7 hours?

[joagomez]

New issue with authorization when attempting to sign in without credentials has been identified.
Realease 3.00a has been pushed until issue can be resolved.

[chDVRuser]

As in when you haven't provide a Tubi username and password for the container?

I got this before I filled them in
HTTP: 400: {"code":"INVALID_PARAMS","message":"Request params is invalid"}

No errors w/v3.00 now that I provided them in the compose yaml

[laughsbrightly]

Updated and my docker container was restarting constantly.

2025-01-31 23:38:27 [ERROR] Anonymous Credentials Not Functioning. Please use username/password credentials

Edit: Found the variables to send creds at Github. Working now.

[joagomez]

New release 3.00b to revert code when using anonymous credentials.
Using username/password still utilizing updated code.

[chDVRuser]

This error started appearing in the Channels DVR log recently.
[ERR] Failed to fetch station 16964: Invalid station ID: 16964

Appears it comes from the Tubi channel tubi-715945 "Welcome Home" being assigned gracenote station 16964. Not sure if one of these are the correct station, but they're all I could find.

"type": "Streaming","name": "Welcome Home [Sling]","callSign": "WBTV11S","stationId": "169645","uri": "https://tmsimg.fancybits.co/assets/s169645_ll_h15_aa.png?w=360&h=270"
"type": "Streaming","name": "WB TV - Welcome Home","callSign": "WBTV11","stationId": "138037","uri": "https://tmsimg.fancybits.co/assets/s138037_ll_h15_aa.png?w=360&h=270"

Maybe it should be 169645

[joagomez]

Looks llike I inadvertently stripped a character from the end of the csv file in my rush to upload 3.00b.

Corrected now

[Matthew_Crommert]

I'm getting zero channels in the m3u as of today - did something change

[cahillbill]

Same with me. Zero channels today.

[Matthew_Crommert]

I added a username and password per the directions on the container - that fixed the issue

Perhaps its not accepting no username and password anymore

Did you update to the latest release and create a Tubi account ?
