I create the container and it shows the right information but Plex doesn't see the "Live DVR". When I look at the console, it shows that it's up and the following;

eventually times out and stops the service...

Basicially I can put my python script on a server somewhere and have it run daily or weekly, and have locast2plex pull from there when it's "scanning" for stations.

Running on linux via command line. Was able to start up the program fine yesterday (after hardcoding the latitude and longitude due to a geo code problem). The connection to both Plex and Jellyfin was working great last night, but the program will not successfully start up today.

Error message generated is bellow:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 320, in <module> if (not locast.login(CONFIG_LOCAST_USERNAME, CONFIG_LOCAST_PASSWORD)) or (not locast.validate_user()): File "/root/locast2plex/LocastService.py", line 50, in login print("Error during login: " + loginErr.message) TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'getset_descriptor' objects
Will dig into this a little more, but I'm not sure what changed to cause the failure today.

Been using it for a few weeks now. Very flakey. Sometimes recordings only have 1 or 2 seconds in them. Weird.

I already knew that Locast wasn't available in my area, but I was bored and wanted to see what locast2plex would do.
Essentially, $5 found a bug, that should exit more cleanly.

Do you have any tips on getting this to work on Windows 10? If it's not possible let me know. No rush it would be cool to get it working....

Just upgraded Plex to plexmediaserver_1.20.1.3252-a78fef9a9_amd64.deb, but something may have also changed at Locast.

• Recording Live programs still seems to work.
• Watching Live with Roku Plex Guide works
• Watching Live of the same program with the Plex Web GUI fails. (Hope this isn't related to the new UI rolled out on Roku Players - i.e. a Plex problem. I'll consider reposting in Plex forums)
• Plex Forum quick search: https://forums.plex.tv/t/live-tv-will-no-longer-play-plex-support-please-help-us/625416 (same issue)

I tried multiple addresses and ports. Also looked at "lsof -i" and "netstat -tulp" and 6077 and the other ports I tried are available.

I'm not a Python programmer. Any idea why the program isn't able to setup the "server"?

Or is someone willing to share a working Docker Container?

When running the python script everything works great except that it returns the wrong sub-channels. The channels on Locast are:

Call sign........Virtual Channel.............RF Channel
WJLPDT1......33.1......................... ................3.1
WJLPDT2......33.2..........................................3.2
WJLPDT3......33.3..........................................3.3
WJLPDT4......33.4..........................................3.4
WJLPDT5......33.5..........................................3.5
WJLPDT8......33.8..........................................3.8
WJLPDT10...33.10.......................................3.10

However, the list returned to Plex by the script is:
Call sign........Virtual Channel........... RF Channel
WJLPDT10.....33.1.........................................3.10
WJLPDT2.......33.2.........................................3.2
WJLPDT3.......33.3.........................................3.3
WJLPDT4.......33.4.........................................3.4
WJLPDT5.......33.5.........................................3.5
WJLPDT8.......33.8.........................................3.8

As you can see, the script is returning WJLPDT10, when it should return WJLPDT1 and not returning WJLPDT1 at all.

I can forward any logs or perform any diagnostics you need.

Any advice you can offer to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Diana

using command line install

Command line used:
C:\locast2plex-master\main.py -u:[email protected] -p:passwd --debug --addy:10.0.0.250

(using python 2.7.17)

When I run I am only able to get about half of my channels that are in my lineup. I thought it might be related to too many connections so I tried to place a sleep timer in main.py in-between stream lookups, but still no luck.

For example, I know that channel 2.2 is part of my lineup, but when it loads it says no streams available.

It appears the the setup is correct, but I am unable to watch or record any channels. Here is latest log output.

I wanted to share how to setup Locast2Plex as a windows service.
Why do it?

1. It automatically loads on reboot.
2. When updates are made to the py scripts I just have to restart the service.
3. I don't have a windows command window open. (I am not using Docker because it doesn't run as well! Less pausing and much faster loading from the command-line)
   Download the totally FREE Non-Sucking Windows Service https://nssm.cc/download, Grab the prelease build 2.2.4-101 listed in the first sentence of the download page.
   Unzip and Copy the win64/nssm.exe to the root of C:\ (or other folder of your preference)

from an elevated (Run as Administrator) command line type c:\nssm.exe install locast2plex
A GUI will popup

Here is what I filled in to the GUI
path: C:\Python27\Python27.exe
Startup directory: C:\Python27

Arguments: C:\code\locast2plex\main.py -u:usernamexxx -p:passwordxxx --debug --addy:127.0.0.1 --port:6077
Service name is locast2plex

Click Install Service.

Go to Run, services.msc, find locast2plex, set the service to run automatically and to start it.
Let me know if you need any help.
It is running nicely for me. I rebooted to test it out and I am very pleased.

Hi, I'm running Plex via a Synology Rackstation. I'm also running the locast2plex in a container via the Docker app. The problem I'm running into is that I cannot add locast2plex as a virtual hdhomerun to plex. I have all the settings set as outlined here, but I'm noticing that even though I have an external server value set in the logs it says the server is: 0.0.0.0. I'm wondering if that's the issue. I cannot see a way to manually change that value.

Attached is my Docker log.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I am using the command line option in Windows 10, python 2.7.8, but running into the following issue:

Hey, been running locast2plex for a couple of days. It's been running great so far. Today doing some updates to my Plex server, I usually like to check on process list and make sure nothing is going crazy. Upon doing ps aux I was surprised to see some ffmpeg process running:

I was not watching anything over at Plex, and as you can see some of those are over 2 days old. I glimpsed over the debug log and couldn't find anything that popped my eye.

Also, for future troubleshooting, do you allow saving the log to a file? This will make debugging some issues way easier than printing over to the screen.

Thanks a lot for your tool! It's really amazing to be able to DVR the content and use locast as an alternative as currently an antenna in my home is impossible.

Keep up the amazing work!

Hey, this looks amazing! But I'm having trouble logging into Locast. I get this error:

Locast2Plex v0.4.2 DEBUG MODE ACTIVE UUID found. UUID set to: xxxx... Logging into Locast using username [email protected]... Error during login: Not Found Exiting...

(Anonymized with xxxx)

Is this an issue on the Locast side? Seems like this might be a URL issue, peeking at the code.

I'm trying to get this docker up and running and I'm running into an issue starting it. It seems like it cannot find my user account, even though I can log into the locast website just fine and I have donated. At first I thought it might be my complex password but I set it to something without crazy special characters and it still does not work. Below is the log, email address has been redacted. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Locast reports this as WYBE. Perhaps consider reading a json with known channel reporting issues?

I am attempting to install this on my Plex machine which currently is running Ubuntu 20.04 server.

I got Docker installed and updated.

Have the correct version of Python and FFMPEG installed.

I edited the docker-compose.yml to look like the following.

locast2plex:
image: tgorg/locast2plex
ports:
- "${external_port}:6077"
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- username='USERNAME'
- password='PASSWORD'
- external_addy='127.0.0.1'
- external_port='1234'
- debug

Save that file. Then run docker-compose -up. It creates the image and then when I go to run the container ID. It just says restarting.

Where is my dumb ass failing? Cause this is my first time trying out Docker hahahaha

Found just while doing a test run, with a fresh locast account without donating

There’s some channels in Locast that don’t show up as an option in the channel selector thingy.

This is with the Locast Guide selected

After the storms that rolled through our area (I'm in Connecticut) and our internet service has been restored, I noticed no new recordings have been captured these last couple of days. Digging in a bit and if I understand the error message, Locast is returning '533' as my DMA. When I log manually into their web site, it shows New York as my location which is normal.

Looking through some of the files provided, I see New York associated with code '501', but when I try updating all the '501' entries I can find with '533', the system never completes the start up process and simply hangs. Below are the messages with the original 0.4.2 files re-installed.

Do you have any suggestions?

I'm trying to run this in a docker container on a Synology NAS and I'm getting the below error. I think it's because The Minneapolis-Saint Paul area hasn't been added to your script yet?

Is there a way to get this to run on startup? via plist, perhaps? Or some other mechanism?

It works a treat, but I fear I'll forget to start it at some point and then be missing out on live TV.

Hello, I just setup locast2plex and continue getting this error on startup. Any assistance would be great. I'm using a Synology NAS with Docker installed.

I'll continue to see if I can figure it out but any help would be great. Thanks.

which file is the docker image file in the zip file ?
I don't know how to get it started with docker
it seems that there is no image file or is the whole zip file the image file
do I have to rename it ?
I installed it from the hub and got it setup on plex
the ecg was there but it said "source not available"
docker v18.09
plex most current version

The subject says most of it. I've installed python 2.7* and L2P on the same Windows 10 box I'm running Plex. The I edited the L2P.py file to reflect the IP and port of the server (I read after that "0.0.0.0" was a default, so it showing up on the cli after trying to start L2P was ok, but I didn't change back). I changed the default listening port only because L2P wasn't working, so I wanted to make sure there wasn't a conflict. Again, didn't change it back since it didn't look like it impacted anything.

Using the CLI, L2P looks like it is starting (http://10.100.200.190:6177/device.xml returns:
<root>
<specVersion>
<major>1</major>
<minor>0</minor>

</device>
<URLBase>http://10.100.200.190:6177\
</root>

Adding the virtual tuner to Plex looks like it's working (ie when I add it, it says it has found 37 channels, but once the rebuild of the guide is complete, when I exit the tuner config screen and return, it says "Device not found. Ensure your device is powered on and connected to your network". Interestingly, I don't get a "Device Settings" option under the L2P tuner to make changes. I have to delete that configuration and recreate it.

2 other things, just in case:
I am running an actual tuner as well (HDHomeRun Extend). It mostly works (with the usual signal issues from using an OTA antenna).
I did not reboot after installing Python or L2P. I bring this up because Python is not in the search path. I had to specify the full path to python.exe on the cli when I started up the L2P script.

Thoughts?

Is there a limit to the amount of streams we can record. Currently 2 channels record fine. Is it possible to record 4 by emulating HDHomerun Quatro? Does Locast limit the streams? I tried changing the code to 4 tuners but it didn't make any difference.

I am sure the username and pass are correct as I can log into the locast site with them just fine.

Thanks in advance!

I keep getting a playback error and do not see anything jumping out in the cmd output that is occurring while the show is attempting to start. I can copy the whole thing but it seems to loop the same stuff.

Just got locast in my area (Miami/FLL) and tried to run this...i will admit i'm a novice when it comes to docker so I may be doing this wrong, but I get an error in /app/main.py

Running docker-compose up fails without copying the docker-compose.env file is renamed to .env, which then works.

Ref: docker/compose#4189 (comment)

Here is what happens before/after copying the file...

jason@docker:~/Documents/scripts/locast2plex$ sudo docker-compose up

Running the latest python version (not the docker version).
ffmpeg version 2.8.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
I have a paid locast.org account.

If I stream the live stream through plex, the stream pauses every few seconds. If I record a show, the video stream is clean with an almost imperceptible audio dip every 10 seconds or so - which is very watchable. Output from the tool looks like:

Not sure if the "no trailing CRLF found in header" message is just a warning or not.

I can try the docker version to see if it's a python library or ffmpeg or something else that's not happy.

I'm trying to run this on Synology Docker, when it attempts to run it stops with the following;

Locast2Plex v0.4.2
DEBUG MODE ACTIVE
UUID found.
UUID set to: hmwhuwux...
Logging into Locast using username [my locast username]
Error during login: [Errno -3] Try again

I've run this on my PC running Docker as well and no problems there, I'm just curious if I missed something.

it looks like I've successfully connected Locast to Plex. I am able to connect to 20 channels and I can see what's currently playing in Plex. When I go to play a channel though, it crashes.

Plex and the Locast2Plex script are running on a Windows 10 machine via the command line. When I re-run the script and go to play a show, I get the following. Thoughts?

I think I'm doing this correctly...Should I be worried about the repeating error line?

"ERROR:root:need more than 1 value to unpack"

Subsequently, plex sees the DVR, loads the guides without issue..but streams fail to start when I hit play. Ive tried this on two different machines to try and rule out the OS/environment being an issue. I may have done something incorrectly. Looking up the error does not give me any additional insight that makes sense.

I can build the container and browse to the XML page but unable to see it in plex on unraid. When i look the the logs i get the error ERROR:root:'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xec in position 308: ordinal not in range(128)

Hey I noticed my local PBS Channel (DFW area) does not have audio when viewing it via locast2plex. Using Locast app directly does produce sound. I have no clue how to troubleshoot so your help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Quick note to let peoples know that locaste2plex works great as a locast proxy for Emby.

Emby will not discover the locast2plex tuner but manually configure a HDHR tuner and point it to the locast2plex IPaddress:PORT and it works great.

Then just use the Emby EPG service to grab the same local OTA listings and basically all of the channels mapped to the EPG correctly for me.

Thanks for the lcoast2plex software.!

This is running on a file server with nothing else running. Plex was able to see everything and it was setup without issue, but it can't start a stream.

I have the service up and running and I was able to add everything to the Plex server, but when I try to start a stream I get an error in Plex: "Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna." The logs on the service show the following:

Anyone have this running as service on ubuntu? Here's what I came up with so far. I used an environment file because I couldn't figure out a way to pass the arguments in the ExecStart value.

service file
