Xfinity TVE-All Discovery channels No login form found

All Discovery Network channels 6101-6114

When submitting diagnostics 04d393c1-0a95-463b-a891-ee4053f2d4ef it says
TV Everywhere Chrome installation is corrupted
I clicked FIX: Upgrade Chrome
But still getting No login form found on a rescan

So just updated to 2021.08.14.0039 and channels 6101-6109 now scan, but 6110-6114 show Invalid parameters (-32602).
Even though DIY scanned OK, it doesn't stream "[ERR] Failed to start stream for ch6108: TVE: Invalid parameters (-32602)".

It started with this error on DIY, so I individually rescanned each Discovery Network channel.

Xfinity TVE Issue - August 2021
TVE - Discovery networks not tuning?
#2

Since deleting the chromedata folder disn't help, I'm readding the source right now at 64/206 channels.

#3

I was able to watch Discovery, FYI, Science Channels with no issues or errors.

#4

Xfinity?

#5

FYI is not a Discovery Network channel; it belongs to A+E Networks.

#6

Well, thank you so much for that info.

#8

Frontier and Philo

Remove and Add source didn't help.

I use Microsoft Edge browser. Not saying the browser matters. Have you tried in another browser?

#11

Same using Edge. It's an Xfinity auth thing, I'm sure.

#12

Gotcha! Well, I hope it gets fixed soon for you. Hope Frontier and Philo don't decide to break.

#13

So I restarted the Docker Container for my Xfinity TVE and was able to rescan DIY and watch it.
The other Discovery Network channels still fail rescans with Invalid parameters (-32602)

This is weird. Restarted the container again and 6101 Discovery scans OK, but doesn't play.
And now DIY no longer plays.

And weirdness continues. Restarted the container and now both Discovery and DIY play.
Going to quit breaking things for tonight.

#14

All those channels working fine for me and i'm using Xfinity and Philo.
I have semi following the threads about Discovery network issues and the changes being made...all the while, I have not had any issues with those channels, as of yet, even on older versions of the Channels Server.

I am currently on server version 2021.08.14.0315

#15

Gave it another try today.
Updated to 2021.08.14.1916
Verified I could play 6101 Discovery and 6108 DIY.

Here's what the Dicovery channels looked like
6101 DISCOVERY
6102 FOOD Invalid parameters (-32602)
6103 ANIMAL-PLANET Invalid parameters (-32602)
6104 HGTV Invalid parameters (-32602)
6105 TLC Invalid parameters (-32602)
6106 TRAVEL Invalid parameters (-32602)
6107 INVESTIGATION-DISCOVERY Invalid parameters (-32602)
6108 DIY
6109 COOKING-CHANNEL Invalid parameters (-32602)
6110 SCIENCE Invalid parameters (-32602)
6111 AHC Invalid parameters (-32602)
6112 DESTINATION-AMERICA Invalid parameters (-32602)
6113 DISCOVERY-LIFE Invalid parameters (-32602)
6114 MOTORTREND Invalid parameters (-32602)

Scanning the channels individually worked, except 6105 TLC gets invalid response.
Don't really care about that channel and repeated rescans give the same error.

I verified I could play the rest of the channels. Will see how long this lasts.

#16

I couldn’t access HGTV this morning. Got the message playback failed. Last time I lost access to it, and a few others, I was able to get the channels back by logging out of Philo on the server and re-adding. This time HGTV, DIY, and a few others are missing from the lineup altogether.

Using a nVidia Shield.

#17

I'm using Xfinity as a Provider.
In your case, I would update to prerelease 2021.08.14.1916 and try individually scanning the trouble channels using the web UI.

#18

Just rescanned TLC and it succeeded.
All my Discovery Networks channels are now working.

Not trying to thread jack. But how are you accessing Channels outside the Web GUI? I am needing to see what more I can do to access an alternate ABC TVE stream. Thanks

That didn't last long.
