Not sure how long these will last BUT so far so good
added the channel logos manually and moved them to the channels old location in my custom favorites list

Can you provide a little more detail on how you added these links as a custom channel or a screen shot of your settings. Thank you in advance.

6018 BET still loads and plays for me, but is a flashing screen " Tech stuff can be difficult. Like now. Be Right Back!."

The other channels won't play and give cdn error...

Guess i'll remove them from channels fav list...

I would suggest doing a rescan.
The rescan will remove all the broken links.
BETP is only still around because it is still activating but as described, it is showing that message.

Comedy Central just shutdown for me. Is there anything channels dvr can do to fix this. maybe add the channels back similar to how locals work? between this and the discovery channel issues, I am loosing all of my channels and this is an issue for me and my family. Signing up for another streaming service is not an option for me at this time.

They need to recode their Viacom/MTVN TVE integration to point to their new API endpoint with the required X-TVE headers to get the new stream URLs and adjust to the differences in the fields in the json response. The GUIDs for their channels haven't changed, so hopefully they can reuse much of the existing code.

The Discovery networks thing is a seperate issue only affecting DIRECTV Stream's login portal. Another user said they were able to get Discovery to work if they selected DIRECTV instead of DTV Stream as their provider.

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.

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.

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.
