TV Everywhere Experiences (Internal Beta)

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#114

First, this new feature is a game changer. We absolutely love it!

I’m seeing some anomalous behavior in the guide with PSVue. I get two channels labeled 6060 and 6062. 6060 shows as both NatGeo and Oxygen but only NatGeo has guide data. 6062 shows as both Sprout and NatGeo Wild but only NatGeo Wild has guide data.

Attempting to block Oxygen and Sprout in the tuner blocks the NatGeo channels as well.

Here’s a screen shot from the client side:

Logs don’t show anything but:

Suddenlink in Kingwood area works. DRM channels do not.

Cannot commercial skip.

I am having a guide problem with DirecTV Now. I noticed that channel 6777 is PBSKIDS, but it is mapped to PBS. I tried the editor but there was not a suitable channel to map it to. The correct OTA channel is 8.4 in my area.

#117

That is a valid point of view. As is mine, which is wanting Channels to continue to be a consumer friendly and easy to use product. Can I not ask them to put this on their to do list?

#118

I am also seeing some guide data problems with Oxygen and NatGeo channels. See screenshot.
15%20AM

I have played with hiding channels and such, but the problem seems to comeback everytime the server refreshes the guide data.

This is an absolute game changer. This is way better than the crappy HDHomeRun service that was integrated . The picture quality is really good. After the HDHomeRun service wasn't reliable, channels missing and eventually folding I switched to using Sonarr and Plex for all of our TV watching with channels dvr as a backup for local station recordings. Now that I have that setup and it works flawlessly this will still be a backup but a much more thorough option. Even the podunk very small cable company I use works!

You're still using a manual method to sign into Philo. Someone will still have to click to confirm the sign in. Doesn't really make the process easier than someone having to put in a code that was texted to them or emailed to them.

Fitzy does it by having you manually sign in once. Perhaps that feature could be added to channels later, but I understand why they don't initially have Philo support.

Looks like new build, 2019.06.14.1505, fixed the DirectvNow guide issues. Thanks.

I understand, just showing the Android TV login process to see if that is something that could be a possibility to use. I really would like to know how Fitz figured it out so a similar solution could be implemented in channels

#125

This has been fixed in the latest build.

Fixed in the latest build. You may need to remove and re-add the source.

This has been fixed in the latest build as well.

#126

#127

AS- are "Adult Swim" Channels hat play marathons of their shows... like "Rick and Morty". They are specialized channels that don't have icons (that I'm aware of)

Maybe because when the TVE scan listed the channels the NBC News channel had a pointer to Broadcast SD listing for NBC. Otherwise, I don’t know why, but TVE did have same guide data for NBC Channel from 8PM to ~2AM.

Recordings did fail as well as trying to tune live.

In SW Florida on Comcast.

That's strange. When I look here its empty:

38%20PM

I wonder if it got mapped accidentally somehow.

@tmm1 are Xfinity restricted sub accounts supposed to work? I am getting the Uncaught exception error. The solution suggested above does not appear to work, as the authentication setting is not available for sub accounts. On the main account it is disabled.

Edit: for the heck of it, I tried again and it is scanning channels now. But there is something flake. I'll send logs.

#133

I get a bunch of NBC sports channels that don’t actually work. They play a brief snippet and that’s it. Xfinity. Is that expected?

#134

For me, advantages, so far, of adding TVE (SW Florida on Comcast):

Ability to add recordings/view some cable channels without tying up a Prime Tuner...of course, now will have to monitor data cap a bit closer.

The best...Can now record/view BBC HD...on the Prime was only able to utilize the SD version.

Added another Fox movie channel not available on Prime

Added Sundance Channel (non DRM); on Prime was only receiving Sundance (DRM)

WooHoo! - BBC in HD is awesome! Thank you to the devs for adding this valuable new source to Channels.
