I will try that and I noticed it is happening with TVE via Frontier also. But not the extent at which a majority of my Philo channels just stop working today.
Thanks, I updated to the prerelease. All the Philo channels seem to have returned. However, the Science Channel is still not working for both Philo and Frontier. I can login to Science via their website using my Philo login,.
Yes, I did rescan all channels and that channel. Updated password sign on via Philo. TVE-Frontier rescan shows - no refresh token. The channel is missing via TVE= Philo
I get this repeating every second for eight seconds trying to watch Science channel.

Other Discovery Network channels are working.
I don't want to try any rescanning since other channels are working.
The last time I re-authed all Discovery Network channels, including Science was 9 days ago.
Would appear Science channel is having issues. Can't connect from DVR and web site appears to be down logging from incognito with Hulu sign in.
So folks I don't believe it is anything the Devs have control over.

Streaming for me with my Xfinity credentials.
Took awhile as Xfinity kept prompting me to add another email or phone#.
I just went back to the live stream site and it logged me in.
Yup Science Channel down with Directv log in. Get playback failed when trying to watch it and when I tried to rescan the channel I got no refresh token
Site may look different to you, I'm using the Dark Reader extension on Firefox.
I'm still seeing the same errors when trying to watch from Channels

Ditto with Cox and 2021.07.22.1422. I also tested on Cox's TVE website and it was fine. @tmm1, I changed my mind; this problem appears to be uniquely in Channels.
