A few people have asked for a Windows Tubi Bridge for Channels DVR. It's nothing special, but it does work. It defaults to using mostly Gracenotes for guide data with an option to use only the scraper and provided epg for guide data. If you are on the latest Pre-release of Channels DVR, you can use the provided M3U and EPG files for guide data. If you are on the current stable release of Channels DVR, do not add the epg file to the Custom Channel as it will cause issues with the included Gracenotes ID's in the M3U file.
Will it continue to work once there's a new stable release in the future? I also assume you can run it alongside the Pluto one as a separate instance?
This is a completely separate application from the Pluto one. It's working on the pre-release which allows for mixed gracenotes and epg data.
Ok, I've installed the Tubi bridge now on port 7778 (Pluto is on 7777), and we'll see how it works. I noticed some channels have very short epg though. But, it appears to be working fine.
If my server reboots, will it restart the Tubi bridge automatically?
Thanks Bobby. -- am on vacation from my server for two weeks. Will try it out when I get back. Any TUBI integration is good integration to CHANNELS.
Yes, it will restart and run as a service, you should not have to touch it. The GitHub Readme explains this as well as commands to manually stop and start the service:
Managing the Service
- The bridge starts automatically with Windows under the service name
TubiBridge. - To start or stop the service manually, open Command Prompt (Run as Administrator) and run:
- Stop:
sc stop TubiBridge - Start:
sc start TubiBridge
- Stop:
- To uninstall, use Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps and select Tubi Bridge to remove the service, files, and firewall rules cleanly.
If you find a need to restart it without doing a stop and start, just use Powershell
Restart-Service -Name TubiBridge
Hope it works well for you. It is basic and serves the main purpose of watching Tubi.
