TVE for Sling TV

Trying to add Sling TV as a Source and get the following:

chrome failed to start: [0428/122540.885189:WARNING:dns_config_service_linux.cc(427)] Failed to read DnsConfig.

I'm using a Synology NAS for storage location. I've checked Support Trouble shooting and updated chrome...still get same thing.

TVE is pretty much dead as it releates to sline.
TBS and TNT are pretty much it.

Did you update to the latest pre-release?

And do you have an adblocker installed? That may be the issue there

yes on the pre-release and no on the ad blocker

And you're using the :tve version instead of the normal docker container?

The only other thing I can think of is a DNS issue. Maybe setting the DNS setting to cloudflare's ip may help?

Same problem you were having 4 months ago.

Has it been broken that long?

What are you running your DVR Server on?

Actually, the last time I had this problem was in 2025...never got resolved. I basically stopped trying. I just changed my streaming source and thought I'd try it again...obviously, same problem.

I'm running the server on a Synology DS418 NAS...

Might be due to the ARM processor in the Synology?
Doesn't that model use a Realtek RTD1296 (64-bit Quad Core ARMv8-Cortex-A53)

Yes it does...however, a couple of years ago, I was able to get many channels of TVE on YouTube TV using the same NAS. I'm going to close this out. It's not worth the effort for a couple of channels that I can record using other means...

I don't know if your Synology is supported with the docker container :tve version. Have you tried it?

Note: TV Everywhere sources are limited when using the native Synology package. Please consider using Docker on Synology for more robust TV Everywhere support.

  • Use the fancybits/channels-dvr:tve image if you need TV Everywhere support

I can't verify it myself, but looks like the :tve docker container support arm64

It's been a while, but I recall having a heck of a time with an ARM based synology 2-3 years ago. @eric helped me and it worked for a while, but at some point had the issue again and couldn't get past whatever the issue was. Dug up the message thread he and I had:
