YouTube TV - blocked by Google - almost fixed

Hi there,
Due to limitations in place I'm not able to use TVE on YTTV at all.
I'm using a Synology. Really wish the streams't weren't encrypted.
thankfully Philo has good TVE access and Fubo still works.

I am able to use TVE with my server running on Debian 12. About the same as Hulu, but I do suppliment with Philo and Frndly

Glad to hear that you were able to get YTTV working for mostly the sports networks. Philo and FRNDLY can handle the non-spports stuff.
Added ADB Tuner and have Get comedy and TV One.
When i had YTTV i wa in the process of replacing the Tvland stuff with stufff from ADB due to the way commercial breaks are handled.
Glad to hear a good update.

I'm trying to setup YTTV on my Channels DVR which I'm running on a QNAP server. Unfortunately I'm getting blocked. The following error msg is in the logs. "Auth failed for YouTubeTV: Blocked by Google: This browser or app may not be secure".

Any suggestions for resolving this error?

The problem with YTTV has been happening for months.
did you try installing the latest pre-release software?

I just tried installing pre-release 2024.05.22.1908 and I'm still getting blocked by Google.

Here is what the developers have said about the issue. Nothing new since December.

A few sticky threads discussing it.

How are you getting frndly tv into Channels DVR without TVE?

I got TVE through YTTV to work first try. Will it fail at some point?

Mine hasn't.

There is a docker to get frndly into channels Frndly TV for Channels

I use Windows and have never used docker.

There is a way to do it without Docker, if you don't mind installing Python.

Look for "No Docker" on this page:

I have Python. Haven't used it in a while.. I'll take a gander at your links. Thanks!
