Latest update on ws4channels:

03/07/2026 Attempt to default the output to widescreen, randomize music, and expand guide data compatiability for other programs like xTeVe, Telly, Threadfin, Plex, Jellyfin ect.

Please update your WS4KP container to use the following variable:

WSQS_settings_wide_checkbox=true

Please note that this variable goes in the WS4KP container not this ws4channels container.*

Use the :latest tag for these changes.

#123

Please forgive the stupid question.

I set this up by doing the Docker setup shown above, and my streamed WS 4000 had a big white bar on the right quarter of the screen.

Your instructions say to Please update your WS4KP container to use the following variable:

WSQS_settings_wide_checkbox=true"

Where do I do this? I have been working on this for about 12 hours now and I haven't found where to put this.

Here is the way I installed mine. (It works great except for the white on the right) :smile:

docker pull ghcr.io/netbymatt/ws4kp
docker run -d \
  --name ws4kp \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 9090:8080 \
  ghcr.io/netbymatt/ws4kp
docker pull ghcr.io/rice9797/ws4channels:latest
sudo docker run -d   --name ws4channels   --restart unless-stopped   --memory="1096m"   --cpus="1"   -p 9798:9798   -e ZIP_CODE=06111   -e WS4KP_HOST=192.168.86.101   -e WS4KP_PORT=9090   ghcr.io/rice9797/ws4channels:latest

Thanks for your help!

Try:

docker run -d \
  --name ws4kp \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 9090:8080 \
  -e WSQS_settings_wide_checkbox=true \
  ghcr.io/netbymatt/ws4kp

Any ideas on how I might be able to automate a way to feed a lat/long into this and restart the container every hour or so?
My thought is to have a standard WS4k channel active for my home location, but also have a WS4k Travel channel that reports local weather wherever I am. I can probably pull my location from either dawarich or home assistant easily, but am not savvy enough to figure out how to push that into a docker environment variable and a commanded restart of a portainer stack.
