TV Everywhere Experiences (Internal Beta)

[racameron]

In the settings, you can select the "Scan Network for Tuners" option, which ought to resync the status of channels and priority of tuners from the DVR. Otherwise, clients maintain their own list of channels separate from the servers; make sure they are disabled on the client, too.

This seems really crazy to me. Why do I want to go through this process on every TV?

[d21mike]

This appears to me that you should not need to do that. Like is the case with HDHomerun. But I have not tested.

If you prefer either only EST or only PST feeds, you can hide the unwanted channels via the DVR web UI by clicking the pencil icon shown under the TVE source.

[Edwin_Perez]

If you disable a channel through the WEB UI it should also be disabled on the Clients when it connects to the DVR Server.

[RockandRoller70]

That's not happening.

I went through and disabled channels on the Shield and that corrected the issues with the grid guide. TVE conflicts were definitely causing the issues on the guide.

Does anyone else have issues with their favorites and disabled channels resetting every day or after every reboot of their device?

This is fixed in the 2.1.7 android release. Let me know if it still happens after that upgrade.

How would I inform Channels of these changes? Do I need to remove the source and re-add it, to reauthorize all of the subscriptions? Is there some API endpoint I can sent a POST to?

Currently you have to remove/readd but we are working on a rescan UI. There is also an api endpoint if you want to email support to ask about it.

How can I request a specific TVE feed? Do I have to modify the tuner priority before requesting a channel to ensure that the proper source is chosen, or can I specify one? (This is akin to using the ANY descriptor when requesting a stream, versus specifying a DeviceID—how are the DeviceIDs of TVE sources figured?)

You'd have to change priority, yes. Or for recordings you could favorite a channel.

The DeviceID look like "TVE-Cox" and can be used in place of ANY. You can see all the ids via the /devices api endpoint.

Or, is this an issue with the Comcast 2F Auth? While the X-TVE channels were scanning I was getting constant Comcast texts with new 2F Auth codes.

Please refer to the announcement FAQ:

NEW: TV Everywhere Support (BETA)

Note : 2FA must be disabled on your account, or you can create a sub-account without billing access and use that with the DVR.

Comcast channels not showing in guide.

Which guide? In the web UI? Or the app? On which device?

Many apps and the web UI default to showing only favorited channels.

Even though I'm disabling channels in the TVE setup by selecting the red circle with a cross through it, these channels are still showing up on my Nvidia Shield Grid Guide.

This sounds like a major bug in the Android app. I'll take a look today.

For both Web UI and iOS. I don’t see a guide at all for the Comcast channels.

[tmm1]

So you see the channels but there's no guide data? Or you don't see the channels in the guide?

[Portebx2]

I do no sign either. No Comcast channels or guide data. I only see the HDHR antenna channels and guide data.

[tmm1]

Please email [email protected] with a screenshot. It sounds like you have not favorited any channels and your guide is in Favorites mode.

You can also try to reload guide data by clicking the circle icon under Xfinity on the DVR web UI. Then check the Log tab to see if guide is loading and if there are any errors shown.

Found and fixed this bug. A new beta build is uploading to the Play Store now. Basically the app would forget which channels were hidden every time it was restarted. This was similar to an earlier bug where it would forget which channels were favorited.

[Richard_smith]

Says not supported. Guess they don’t have enough tv everywhere logins

[meshuga]

Any idea why I can't login to PS Vue? It worked on my linux server, but now trying to set it up on my Synology NAS using the docker image and getting this.

The log says the same thing:

Works fine logging in locally in the browser.

[meshuga]

I also got the working on my local Mac, but seems to be having a problem in the docker image. Can anyone confirm?

[tmm1]

Please try it again, and email [email protected] if the issue persists.

[Jford951]

So just double checking that the mycloud duo have a ARM processor and can’t try this tv everywhere experience

[johnnybwis]

putting credentials for dish and get the following error.
google chrome not finding path to executable, reinstalled and still no joy.

[tmm1]

Do you have Chrome installed onto your C:\ drive?

[Portebx2]

Got it now. Simple fix. Favorites was the issue. Thank you for helping my ignorance. LOL
