TVE YTTV local PBS missing in Channels, but not YTTV app

[djw]

I have added YTTV as a TVE source and 'Local Networks via TV Everywhere' successfully, but the local PBS affiliate's two broadcast channels are not among them, and don't show even editing the TVE source line-up. In the YTTV app/browser they do show up.

Is this a common anomaly or am I doing incorrectly?

PBS TVE streams are not compatible with channels. This publicly subsidized clown show of a network has decided to drm their stream to make it harder for the public to view tax payer funded programming. PBS does not work no matter the provider with channels. If you want PBS you have to get it OTA with a hdhr tuner.

You can read about this in detail here:

TVE - Some PBS Stations Showing a "We've updated the way we livestream" Message

I'm near Philadelphia and noticed this yesterday in the streams for WHYY and WVLT, although WNJS continues to show programming. These channels show up for me under my Philo source. [image]

And several dozen threads that have asked the same for almost a year now, but this basically covers it all. Also, you can read about a potential workaround for you here:

PBS Suddenly Missing from TV Everywhere

@Bandmaster, if you live in a market that has LocalBTV and is broadcasting their PBS station, you can use the LocalBTV m3u (see LocalBTV thread for details) to get the station. No long term guarantees that this will stay up or work forever. [image]
