Have you tried the dev teams docker container on unraid? I have used it for years with no issues.
I don't see any other channels options other than Tim's. I love that he adopted the Hardware for Nvidia which I leverage as well.
Do you have a link to the other version? When I search for Channels inside the app store I only see the options from Tim.
Here is another example from today. Packet corrupt? No sure if that is extra info or not. But the channel stalls out and then you can start the channel back immediately and it will be fine or minutes or sometimes hours.

Follow the instructions from the channels DVR web page to install the docker. Works perfect.

Is there a changelog for this? I'm getting updates on my unraid server for this app almost weekly it seems and I can't find any info on what's being updated or fixed.
Something like this:
I have an automation script that updates the baseline operating system every week. There’s no notes for that since it’s just standard Ubuntu package updates.
I changed the templates to use @tmm1's docker images. I verified Intel and NVIDIA hardware transcoding with the 'tve' and 'nvidia' tagged containers.
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for this template/app. Channels is fantastic, and having it up and running on my Unraid server is just epic. Two questions -- first, over time should I update in-app? Or wait for the container to show an update is ready? Second, I presently have IPTVBoss running in a Windows VM, but are you aware of any efforts to get that spun up on Unraid? Is there somewhere I could learn how to do that with the published jar?
You should just update Channels internally, and if you want to update the container you can. I recently switched to @tmm1's image, which is rarely updated compared to when I updated mine every week.
For the second, no idea how IPTVBss works, sorry.
Are you deprecating your images or your GH repo?
I'm deprecating them and going to archive the GH repo for it soon. The docker images should exist and be fine for awhile I just won't update them.
Is there a permissions setting in this container that can be changed, so that files created from Channels DVR can be deleted from other sources? Meaning either in Windows Explorer or MCEbuddy.
I think I have everything set up. Rebuilt with UMASK 022, as are all the other containers. ls returns drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 94 Jun 19 09:35 TV/ MCEbuddy still runs and moves the new file correctly, but the original is still there, and it used to not be when it was all on Windows. While I can do new permissions in Unraid and then delete manually, that seems to be temporary.
Are you using the fancybits/channels-dvr:tve repository/container?
I recently got an nvidia gpu and currently have the intel container installed. What’s the best way to just swap them out and keep all my settings and data? Is it just as simple as changing containers and pointing the new nvidia one to my current appdata folder?
Yeah it should be as simple as changing from ‘fancybits/channels-dvr:tve’ to ‘fancybits/channels-dvr:nvidia’. Just be aware of this discussion: Docker nvidia - #7 by tmm1
My timstephens24 Channels server, which has worked great for 12+ months, is basically completely down today, despite multiple restarts of the container and the server. Anyone else seeing this? About to dive into container logs....
Hey @Hagary, I stopped supporting my custom image build last August, and switched the app package over to the official channels container. It should be a smooth move, just edit the container in the Docker tab and change the repository to fancybits/channels-dvr:tve

Thanks for the message. I updated the repository and I'm still hanging trying to pull up my guides. Must be on my end, but now I have the repository set and I updated Unraid to 7.0 beta to boot (so far so good otherwise).
