I'm running into this error for YouTube TV. Here's what I've tried so far:

  1. I don't have 2FA. I'm using a dummy account attached to my Google Family.
  2. I updated to Pre-Release build 2026.06.20.0022
  3. I Pre-Authorized via Watch the NBC Live Stream - NBC.com (made sure to do it on the computer running Channels DVR). Also because of the image being AMC I went there to try and it logged in but I don't have access to AMC so not sure if thats the problem.
  4. Cleared the headless Chrome cache via C:\ProgramData\ChannelsDVR\data\chromedata\
  5. Made sure there were no Google security checkups, alerts or terms of servic prompts with the account.

This is the error that seems to be popping up in the logs:

interesting .. same error but I was restoring (switched computers) database. (different thread)

  • restored data base from windows to iMac
  • iMac did not have chrome so uninstalled channels then installed chrome then reinstalled channels
  • ensuring latest version channels.
  • ensured 8089 ports open and remote streaming pointed to new ip (it is)
  • checking on same computer with browser to play a channel it just spins then times out no error message (last time I updated password, and that began entirely new sets of issues one of which is what you see above)
  • I was unable to click or enter any data in that box that asks for email address .. so I uninstalled all, reinstalled all, updated channels dvr and now I'm at point where it just spins no tv show plays... so I'm closer but with no error message not sure next step.

-this isn't an answer but adds more data/color/info to same box that popped up when I tried YTTV channels
maybe this helps someone else zero in on how to help us out.

Ditto here, brand new install from the OS up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
