TVE - Discovery networks not tuning?

[nhryniewicki]

I’ve also reported to Go.discovery support. Maybe if enough contact them it’ll be resolved sooner.

Thanks for all the help.

@tmm1

With v2021.08.30.2158 all the Discovery channels have been moved over to the sciencechannel.com streams

I'm undoing this again for now, until the provider auth issues are resolved.

[chDVRuser]

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll stick with v2021.08.30.2158 for now as it's working for me with Xfinity on all Discovery Network channels on both my Synology package and Docker Container installs.

If I update, my Docker Container install will have problems again.

So, in reviewing the logs on why I still get the “no login form" error. I can use their website, app, or whatever and have no issues. But when I try using channels, I get the below.

2021/08/31 08:10:06.239153 [TVE] action=tvejs msg="scienceSelect: path=/login-affiliates"
2021/08/31 08:10:07.251833 [TVE] action=tvejs msg="scienceSelect: missing affiliate"

The change from ATT TV to Directv or Directv Stream appears to be the issue, now. I'm assuming that Channels is using “Directv Stream” as the affiliate and Science Channel is still using ATT TV. I have emailed science channel help but figure this might take a while to be corrected.

Is there a way for channels to try the old affiliate name when that error is found? If so, that could possibly be the temporary fix until the science channel fixes their end.

[tmm1]

Can you login and watch on sciencechannel.com? Which provider are you selecting from the list at the bottom there?

[jagrim]

At that site, I select ATT TV provider as the provider, sign in, and everything works fine. There is no Directv Stream Provider listed. If I select the Directv provider, it asks for my old Directv info.
I believe the issue is that science channel has not updated their provider list.

I am on a Synology NAS and have not upgraded to DSM 7

[jagrim]

Just tried Science channel with 2021.08.31.1732 and it is now working. I had to rescan twice before it took.

Thanks for getting the Science Channel working!!!

Here's the reply from my ticket on Science Channel App
Hi There,

Thank you for contacting Discovery Fan Relations and submitting this suggestion to us.

We've done a little research here on our end, it looks like DirecTV Stream is missing from the Science Channel Go app when it switched to the ATVE format. We've submitted a request for this to be updated on the Science Channel Go App. But an approximate time on when this will be updated has not bene provided to us.

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know.

Thank You,
Michael B.

Just updated to 2021.08.31.1732 but still isn’t working for me.

The email I got from Discovery is below. I replied that that link works but not the science channel url. I even tried AT&T as the provider on the site but no luck. I called DirecTV to let them know.

I should also note DirecTV is clueless so don’t bother calling them. Spent an hour on the phone for nothing.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

This error usually occurs if your TV provider is experiencing server issues, or your current package does not include the network. Let's try a few steps and see if the error remains:

1. Sign out and sign back into the SCI GO app/site.
2. Visit a different network. Navigate to the Discovery GO site and sign in. Do you receive a similar error? Here's the link: https://go.discovery.com/
3. When signing in, are you able to type in your Username and Password or do you select your TV Provider and are automatically signed in?

Try this and let me know what happens.

Best,

Jason​

@tmm1

Just an update.
Lost Science Channel today with the "not in you package" error. Also lost all the other networks on science channel.com. Contacted support and followed their suggestions.
Step 2 was to go to go.discovery.com
Logged in without issue selecting Directv Stream as provider and was successful watching live TV. Picking any of the other networks required re-linking TV Provider. All other networks that I looked at Directv Stream as a provider with the exception of Science Channel. Hopefully, that'll be corrected soon.

Edit update: All back working again (5:00 pm CDT)

[Techreader]

I tried this, selecting Directvstream. It let me log in but still nothing would play. All channels say they are not in my package.

[Techreader]

DIY and SCI are now properly authenticating with DirecTV. Woohoo

[nhryniewicki]

All working here again too.

[chDVRuser]

Haven't heard anything about the auth for Discovery networks going back to Science channel.

TVE - Discovery networks not tuning?

Looks like a familiar issue, which was the reason you had to delete chromedata and readd every month. Since v2021.08.30.2158 is using the new website those problems are gone.

Is it still recommended to delete the chromedata folder?

[Edwin_Perez]

Deleting the ChromeData finally gave me all the Discover Channels

[chDVRuser]

I guess that answers my question.
That was the only way I could get my Discovery Networks channels back after their auth expired.
Once I reauthed them and verified they can stream, I deleted the chromedata folder again.

Wish there was a way to know when the auth is going to expire for each channel.
I don't know, but assume there's some domain or site cookie in chrome with an expiration date or time. If only one could examine that. Hate to wait until a recording fails and would prefer to proactively reauth as soon as they expire.

[bpa_dvr]

this is impacting Discovery, Food Network, HGTV, TLC, Travel Channel.

For me, I have Hulu Live and YouTube TV subscriptions. All the Discovery channels have disappeared today.

I updated to prelease on Sat version 2022.09.17... and the channels were slow to tune in, but today I updated to 2022.09.18... and the channels won't tune and I tried to recreate my Hulu tuner and they wont even find any of the Discovery group channels.

I removed my email login from the log snip for privacy reasons...

I am also on Hulu Live TV sub and I just checked all 5 of those channels and they appear to be working fine here at this moment.

Server Version 2022.09.18.1926

EDIT: I wonder if parts of the Hulu Live TVE service were down today.

Hulu Live TVE authentication is failing

Hi All! I was having an issue with some dropped local TV channels in the New York region using HULU live as my source. I had added HULU live quite some time ago so it was my DVR source for a long time. I had lost channels 2 (CBS) and 5 (FOX) for some reason and recently decided to see what I could do to get them back. Tried to go the rescan route from the DVR source but that did not help. So I tried to do a clean slate approach and that did not work out so well. I had 152 viewable channels on t…

[bpa_dvr]

thanks for replying here. but for me, it is not working for both Hulu and YouTube TV

[bpa_dvr]

I uninstalled Channels completely, rebooted and then reinstalled and restored from backup from 5 days ago when all was good. still could not tune in.

I then unistalled again, rebooted and installed a new Channels without restore. still could not tune in.

I reinstalled again and this time I did restore from backup. but still not tuning just the Discovery package.

after looking at my QNAP NAS (TS-253Be) I noticed the firmware updated to v5.0.1.2145. I remember it being on v5.0.0.(something). so I downgraded the firmware back to 5.0.0.2131. rebooted. when the server came online again with v5.0.0.2131 I was able to open all the Discovery channels once again.

so, it seems for me QNAP recent firmware v5.0.1 is a failure with Channels on this.

i've turned off the auto firmware update completely. I thought I did before so maybe I did something and did not notice it.

I'm all good for now. thank you all.
