Hello is possible in future a project doing something similar for philo.com lineup. Thanks.

A&E and History seem to be using DRM and they fail to play now. Just letting you know in case you don't.

I just pulled the latest, after not being able to tune a channel. Docker Logs Below.

I have confirmed password is correct and the Frndly TV service is up.

I am running Frndly TV for channels on a dedicated home server from a cron job , python command line , not with docker. I than load the list into Kodi 19.X IPTV Simple along with guide data

I can get the list of channels and play back most of them but noticed I could not get Curiosity stream (curiosity Channel) which I one of the channels I want

Upon closer inspection of the problem I also see that if I wget http://10.0.0.250:8183/play/curiositystream.m3u8
then I get the following

whereas if I wget a working channel like http://10.0.0.250:8183/play/movies_.m3u8

I get back something that looks completely different (truncated at ends of lines))

Wondering if there might be a fix for this.

Would you be willing to port this to Truenas via Truecharts app catalog? It should be fairly simple and I'm even willing to try submitting a PR by modifying other templates if needed, but without prior experience it may take me a while.

https://github.com/truecharts/charts

I wrote a tool that pulls the channel -> Gracenote ID mapping directly from the current Channels DVR EPG configuration (see https://github.com/Channels-DVR-Goodies/extractChannelIDs). I couldn't find a good way to look up the corresponding Gracenote ID from a channel name, and Gracenote wanted to charge me hundreds of dollars a month for access to their API. So I found a work around :) The only other option would have been to use the 'Scheduiles Direct' API, but it didn't look like that was permitted under the Schedules Direct acceptable use policy.

I used my tool to extract the table below, which lists the Gracenote ID for each of the FrndlyTV channels (that work for me, at least).

You could use this information to populate the optional tvc-guide-stationid tag in the M3U file you're generating. This means Channels can auto-configure the listings info on import, without needing the XMLTV EPG file at all.

Sorry, I'm not proficient with Python, or this would be a pull request instead :)

Any chance you could update the EPG to include the new channels added??

Can you add the channel-number tag to the EXT lines that begins numbering with a user supplied env var?

This would allow the channels to be placed strategically, I imagine making channel-number a counter that starts at the user supplied value and increments by one every time through the loop.

Thanks!

May be related to new channels that were added

Error: Extra data: line 1 column 4 (char 3)

I'm on the latest version.

I like this script but is there anyway to run the python script with a hosted https server instead of http

I deleted Channels source, deleted container, downloaded latest, added container and source, download guide.
Guide populates correctly.
