Youtube TV can no longer be added to TVE

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere

By chance, are you using a Pi-hole or DNS ad blocker?

#22

I do, but it is not enabled for the VLAN that it lives in. Unless Google DNS is causing the issue? It has worked for years with these settings.

Are you running the latest beta by chance? Because I know there were issues on and off with TVE and various builds, and it tends to be fixed in the latest beta builds

#24

I know the Devs here recommend using your ISP for DNS over google. Can't hurt to try.

I agree. I was using Cloudflare DoH DNS and encountered strange issues. I'm now back to my ISP DNS.

Swapped DNS to ISP. Unfortunately, same error: authn: POST: https://sp.auth.adobe.com/adobe-services/session: 401 Unauthorized: "Data not found"

Thanks for all the help everyone. I really appreciate the support for such an active community. I have a CC4C server that is doing the heavy lifting on the channels I cannot get via YTTV for now, hopefully it is temporary. I will keep checking to see if it decides to work.

Are you using Portainer?
What does the Channels DVR stack (compose) look like?

#28

No, I am not using Portainer. Iā€™m using Synology DSM Container Manager.

I did not deploy it from a Docker Compose stack. I created it through the Synology GUI using the fancybits/channels-dvr:tve image.

Equivalent compose would be roughly:

services:
  channels-dvr:
    image: fancybits/channels-dvr:tve
    container_name: channels-dvr
    network_mode: host
    restart: on-failure:10
    environment:
      - TZ=America/New_York
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/channels-dvr:/channels-dvr
      - /volume1/ChannelsDVR/dvr:/shares/DVR
      - /volume1/movies:/media/movies
      - /volume1/tv:/media/tv
      - /volume1/video/Home Movies:/media/homevideos

I think you should try deploying with portainer IMO. It seems like an issue with the Synology GUI. I haven't had any issues deploying Channels using portainer

Thank you for the suggestion and I do not disagree, I like Portainer much better as well. I just got everything else working and synced so I am just going to move forward without YTTV for now. Cheers!

Interestingly enough, on a whim I decided to try adding YTTV this morning to TVE and it worked as expected and I can successfully tune the channels again. I take the win! =)

Nice! It is always hard to troubleshoot something that did work now it doesn't with no change. Is it a policy change on the other end or did they break something and it takes a few days for them to fix it. Either way happy for you.
