TVE Lockouts

[pegasus9]

Like most folks, I'm kind of disappointed as I watch all of the channels that I used to enjoy through TVE slowly fade away. Well I could bring up my Philo app and swap back and forth looking for something to watch, I'm sure somebody has figured out a way to bypass the need to do that and have things show on the regular Channels program.

I did try the ADBtuner program without much success, as it gives me 500 internal server errors and will not bring up the web interface. Part of this may be the fall to my equipment because it is a just released NAS system and is still working its way through becoming civilized. As a result, Docker is not directly accessible to feed code to but rather done through a GUI. I've been successful getting Plex and Channels to run stably on it but I could not get the ADBTuner program to work apparently.

Are there any other programs or projects that might be worth looking at?

I assume this is some sort of WebUI provided through the NAS OS? And, if so, I'd suggest installing Portainer. Once done, I've compiled Docker Compose examples for every known Channels-related extension:

A docker-compose for every Channels-related extension -- suitable for Portainer-Stacks!

I've just updated my docker-compose examples, in OliveTin-for-Channels, for the many excellent container projects that are suitable for use with Channels -- via the WebUI for Docker -- Portainer. I thought I'd post them here as well, for anyone not using OliveTin yet. The idea with the way these yamls are structured, is that you shouldn't need to do ANY editing of the yaml itself, all installation specific values should be set via the environment variables in that section of Port…

Through Portainer you could also install OliveTin-for-Channels with Project One-Click, and then all of those Docker projects would at their easiest to get up-and-running:

OliveTin for Channels: An Interface for Misc Channels DVR Scripts & Tricks

I've been working on a Channels DVR specific version of the OliveTin project. The idea is to make this a central interface for the various scripts people have developed, and miscellaneous tricks that require Python, cURL, jq or whatever. I'll build and maintain the container, including whatever dependencies are required for your favorite script or command line magic for Channels DVR. Here are some screenshots of a few things I have running so far, just to give you an idea of what's possible. I'…

Project One-Click: All-in-One Installations of Docker Extensions and CDVR Custom Channels

Now that there are a host of excellent Docker-based extensions for Channels DVR, @mjitkop and @bnhf thought it was about time we had an excellent way to install them! Specifically, an all-in-one "one-click" approach that would spin-up the container and do the Custom Channels setup as well. OliveTin and Portainer were perfect for this project, and are prerequisites. OliveTin provides the user interface for the minimal set of values you need to provide and Portainer, with its API, allows for the …

I appreciate your fast response and your efforts.

I have Portainer installed, but have not done anything within it yet. Do I just create an environment and drop the coding where it is applicable?

Use the "Local" environment, and Portainer-Stacks to add your Docker Compose yamls and installation-specific environment variables.

Got it running on the sample channels, thanks for the assist. Is there a channel list somewhere for the Paramount channels?

Got it running on the sample channels, thanks for the assist.

When you say "it", which project are you talking about?

[pegasus9]

Sorry, ADBTuner. Looked like the simolest to get up and running, then I can go back and experiment and learn,

@pegasus9

Is there a channel list somewhere for the Paramount channels?

I'd suggest searching the ADBTuner thread, then post there if you don't find an answer.

Thanks again.
