Tvheadend

Trying to run without epg plugin but as soon as I restart it after adding:

[xumo_default]
label = xumo instance
enabled = False

i'll look into it. Just saw daddy reboot server causing connection refused and not found errors. I think slowing down for theses issue is definitely the solution.

For now, take you backup config.ini and replace the geoid and channellistid in the config.ini under [xumo]. The backups are in the ./data/backups folder...

0.9.9.5 fix for xumo done.

To make it work with my docker configuration I had to modify "Dockerfile_tvh_crypt.slim-buster" and "Dockerfile_tvh_crypt.alpine" to copy the plugins_ext directory.

Here the relevant section of the dockerfiles with the added COPY statement:

COPY plugins /app/plugins
COPY plugins_ext /app/plugins_ext
RUN touch /app/is_container

This is what they looked like previously:

COPY plugins /app/plugins
RUN touch /app/is_container

makes sense. will update

0.9.9.6 has the Docker updates and some more adjustments for the Connection Refused issue. May be getting close to the solution.

0.9.9.7 Changes to 404 HTTP errors and Connection Refused look much better. This is a good version if you want to try out the new EPG and cleaned up DaddyLive.

I got a lot of channels setup right but a few like MTV and vh1 play a different channel even after setting them up with the correct channel (MTV is 331 I believe).

Determine if it's a Cabernet or a TVH issue. I suspect you have some mismatches in TVH. To check Cabernet, you can load the m3u file into VLC. The URL should be
http://ipadress/daddylive:6077/channels.m3u
You can also play the channel directly in VLC by entering the following URL for a Network Stream
http://ipaddress:5004/DaddyLive/watch/344
This URL is for my VH1.
If all is good in Cabernet, then you will need to dig into TVH. I normally find issues in the Channels/EPG > Channels area.
http://ipaddress:5004/DaddyLive/watch/371
This is for my MTV.
We should have the same UIDs for the channels since those are set by daddylive.

I am using it with Plex. In Plex it let's you do a channel match and choose the right channel. For MTV it says is channel 331. Channel 371 it tells me is for TBN Inspire. When I choose 371 for MTV and save the setting then it won't even show me MTV in the channel guide.

I installed the daddylive channels fine into plex, including vh1 and mtv. All played the correct channels. Weird part was that my plex guide is using the channel UID and not the channel number. Must be a configuration in Plex somewhere to change that. One possible issue is somehow having channels from different plugins having the same numbers and getting crossed. Did you move the channel numbers for each plugin so they do not duplicate? Also, I still recommend running the test with the channels.m3u into VLC and see what you get to make sure it is a plex cross link issue.

In plex, when selecting the guide data for a channel, the channel shows up with just the channel number and name. The guide shows up with just the UID, channel number and name, then the main guide after setup shows up with the UID and not the channel number... Strange... Example for MTV in the guide during setup appears as

371 1135 MTV USA (1135 MTV USA)

New release of provider_epg_tvguide 0.1.2
Since Cabernet does not have the external plugin upgrade automated, please move a new copy of the folder to the plugins_ext and restart Cabernet.
This fixes an issue where the programs around midnight GMT will not be present in the EPG. After upgrading it may take a few hours for the system to correct itself.

Note for Linux, I can soft link my tvguide repo folder to the plugins_ext folder and it works. It does not have to be a hard link.

Interesting how tvguide has TBAs for ESPN events while zap2it has actual teams...

371 is the UID while 1135 is the channel number. MTV on the main guide appears as "371 [MTV icon]" even though the channel number is 1135

Got it. The issue was duplicate channel numbers between Daddylive and Pluto TV. Thanks for the help!

Looks like 123tv website is currently down...

I have confirmed that the DNS can no longer find the web site IP address from multiple sources. Looks like that site is gone...

Recommend disabling the plugin...

Possibly related to the major round of DMCA takedown notices issued over the last 10 days. Who knows.

0.9.10.0 Contains all the code cleanup for analytics and some fixes for the other stream types. There are around 100 files changed, so I would let it ride for a bit before upgrading.
This version does not contain the 123TV plugin, so you should go ahead and cleanup the folder and data_mgmt areas if you have not done so.

Also be aware that the tvguide plugin is also updated. It also contains a fix when the program data is not available. It was throwing exceptions, but latest version is fixed.

Thanks for all your work on this.

Thanks for all your work. I just got it running on Windows in a cmd prompt and connected to Jellyfin . Does anyone have a correct Docker-compose file for Cabernet? The one included is for locast. My few attempts at installing on Docker has not been able to start a video stream. even before with ustvgo and m3u plug in so I suspect I'm missing a dependency .

the docker I use is called Dockerfile_tvh_crypt.alpine

I think the streamlinkproxy is the best stream type for daddylive. I am using version 5.3.1 of streamlink. It took me a bit to find the way to install it with the latest version. On Ubuntu, I used

pip3 install --user -U streamlink

Not sure why but my install on Ubuntu did not like that pip path. Yes I installed it.

It started working with path as /usr/bin/streamlink

seems good

makes me wonder if youtube links that broadcast 24/7 could be added as a plugin

as explained here.

https://cgomesu.com/blog/Tvhlink/

I do this with tvheadend already but it might make an interesting cabernet plugin.

good stuff. thanks again.

For those that cannot get streamlink version 5.x installed, the tests I have done seem to indicate the internalproxy is about the same, in that, both generate deja vu repeats and connection refused issues. It is difficult to test exactly which is better... It was more of a feeling. Just be aware that neither are a perfect solution, but plays decent enough to enjoy the video.

A friend was telling me today about this service:

https://watch.sling.com/dashboard/grid_guide/grid_guide_all

My memory is not that great so I don't remember if that one has ever been discussed, but the nice thing about them is their guide goes out a full week IF there is some way to scrape it. Not all the channels in the guide are part of the free service (https://www.sling.com/freestream) but quite a few are. I have no idea if that is something that Cabernet could access, just thinking it would be nice to have at least one service where you could schedule programs for future viewing or recording more than just a few hours out. I suppose there is probably some reason this one won't work with Cabernet, but just thought I'd mention it (and my apologies if it's been mentioned before - the older I get the shorter my memory is!).

For "Dockerfile_tvh_crypt.slim-buster" users, if you add the following line to requirements.txt then streamlink should get installed.

streamlink

Since "Dockerfile_tvh_crypt.alpine" does not use requirements.txt and update may be required to the alpine dockerfile.

Updated, will be available in the next release.

Is there a documentation available about how to add your own epg? I created a fully working epg (locally hosted) using mostly the github-iptv sources including picons for all daddylive programs and would like to use that one instead oh the TVGuide one
