TVE - CBS/Viacom channels going away?

@techpro2004

I am loosing all of my channels and this is an issue for me and my family.

I would not depend solely on Channels DVR TVE. It's always going to be Beta, until it's gone.
Disappointing? Yes, but that's the way it is.

[techpro2004]

Thanks for the heads up on what is involved. @tmm1 Please take care of it.

It's only a matter of time when until the major content provides like ESPN and Max/Discovery are gone. If @tmm1 and the Channels team doesn't develop a new 'turn-key' system that uses both TVE (or what's left to it) and Chrome Capture, and has the features that the current Channels system has today, I can see users like me who don't have the coding skills to play with Chrome Capture, will be forced to bite the bullet and actually use the 'live TV' streaming systems we are already paying for.

This build should resolve this issue.

• FIXED: Handle Accepted response from gauth authorized for Discovery

@techpro2004

Playlist has not been updated in 25.0261414s

This is unrelated to the TVE channel authentication.

I don't know what this means and I don't see any recent diagnostics from you.

@Edwin_Perez your Xfinity authentication is failing for some reason.

your Xfinity authentication is failing for some reason.

Thanks @eric I re-ran scan this morning and is looking good.

Everything authorized and it was quick.

Thank you so much. What a relief. Some of these channels are a deal breaker for me and was looking at going back to YTTV… ugh I’ve been saved!! lol thank you!!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do we get this build? I'm still having issues watching certain channels (MTV) and I would like to get them working if there is a beta version that allows for it.

[eric]

Here are the instructions:

@tmm1

Updating to prerelease

On the DVR web UI, select Status > Version > Check For Update > Check for Pre-Release

Prerelease upgrades happen manually, only when you click the button above. The next time a stable release happens, your DVR will switch back to the newer stable build automatically.

Did Viacom channels go down again? I can't seem to tune to MTV

[chDVRuser]

Try the latest pre-release

Multiple TVE Issues (Viacom/Paramount Networks channels)

Seems to all be back up and running! Every station took an extra hot minute to start working the first time, but it eventually got there. I don't recall if this was the situation before, but it appears that Viacom is using geolocation, so all the west stations are showing east content to me. I could have sworn I did some testing a bit back where they were different and that's why I kept them around, but maybe I'm thinking of WBD stations?
