TVE behind a front-end account?

[skipt]

My ISP/streaming provider supports TVE and gives me the local Bally Sports channel via the provider's app. I use my provider credentials in Channels to create/manage the m3us I need for use with other apps that accepts m3us, but Bally Sports is not directly accessible via the Channels TVE tools.

When I go directly to Bally Sports web site it seems that I first must have and log in to a Bally account before I can apply my TVE credentials. ( https://www.ballysports.com/signin ) Is there a way for me to do this within Channels so that when I pull my TVE m3u the link for Bally gets included? Also, if this can be done, will I need to do anything to make sure the EPG I pull from Channels includes the Bally lineup?

IIRC, Ballys TVE streams were removed because they added DRM.

Here's the latest I've seen:

ESPN+ & FOX Sports with Custom Channels via EPlusTV

Not able to add Bally because of DRM. Only way to get Bally into Channels is through the Fubo Docker. Have to have a Fubo subscription.

Check that out here:

Fubo TV project

I have come across this project that looks interesting for Fubo. All channels except disney and premiums expose an m3u8 during playback. Perhaps someone could figure out how to deploy it? Would be awesome to get something like this piped directly into channels

If that doesn't work for you, to get around DRM and add stations like these, you can do either of these solutions:

BETA: Chrome Capture for Channels

Simplified Installation Instructions (as of 2023-10-18 at 11:45am ET | v0.1.10) Chrome Capture for Channels will open a Chrome browser and literally capture what is being shown on that tab and project it to Channels DVR. It works based on the browser's built-in capture functionality and other programs that have taken advantage of that in the past. It requires no interaction after initial setup and only will display a specific tab to Channels DVR. It does not take over your system as it is basic…

ADBTuner: An "channel tuning" application for Google TV / Android TV devices. Inspired by "HDMI for Channels" (HDMI for Channels). After spending many weeks researching and collaborating with everyone in the above thread (thank you, everyone) I decided to sit down and write a small web application to make the process easier to manage (for me), and hopefully others.

Since you are talking about a real station, you can use the default guide provider to get that info, nothing special necessary.
