Tvheadend

seems like once i edit the db it breaks the updates so no need to do anything but if you want updates to work then do not edit or keep backup and/or delete and start from scratch.

now on to epg any hints on adding editing epg in sql or is it in code/config? From what im understanding its pulling the info based on the name of the channel in the same db that i added the channels? what is the provider its fetching from so that my nameing convention matches the providers?

You have 2 ways to update the epg. Simplest is to edit the cabernet/plugins/provider_video_daddylive/resources/channel_list.json and add the channels you can. The zone id and channel id come from tvguide.com. If you are dealing with channels that tvguide does not provide epg data, then you can update the database (since you seem to be proficient). The epg database contains the data by instance/day with the json blob containing the epg data. You would need to download the json blob, append to it and then upload the blob to the database. At some point, I am looking at using files instead of blobs, but for now, it is a blob.

It is available on tvguide. I'm unsure how you get the zone id and channel id but from chrome dev i sniffed out this packet

and im guessing the first one 9100001219 is zone and second one 9233003495 is channel?

Is there a better easier way of getting the info?

Seems to have stopped pulling EPG. Using version 0.1.5 and Cabernet 0.9.10.06. The log shows errors...

So above info is correct way to pull the id. Also insure to include the proper tvguide id info in sql entry on top of the xml edit.

0.9.11.00-RC1 Release Candidate
Although an early release, seems pretty solid. It has the new persistent connections, which makes internalproxy significantly better with daddylive. Only issue is the upgrade requires tvguide plugin to be upgraded to 0.1.8 BEFORE clicking the upgrade button. Notes are in the release. If you miss the upgrade, then notes in the release also indicate how to do it after you missed the plugin upgrade.
It does require python requests module to run. The docker files have been updated.

If you try it and find something, let me know.

Current plan is to keep the Release Candidate releases until the plugin management is done. After that, the instance and repo management will be the following two releases. Once the plugin management is done, the external plugins like the epg plugin will be maintained.

Tried updating. Can't seem to get it to work.

Got it updated. Need coffee.

Thanks for giving it a try... I am surprised how well the new interface works...

not sure what is different but daddylive seems to work better. Is it better to set it to internal proxy now?

So, I checked streamlink and it also does provide persistent connections, so in general, there may not be a difference. However during problems, internal proxy handles the HTTP exceptions better, such as connection refused and connection timeouts. Internal proxy should not have as many packets drop as streamlink. So, my belief is there is a little better performance with internal proxy. Internal proxy also updates the ATSC header providing TVH service name data for the mux. It still could be a personal decision.

I will be using internal proxy then. Is this the best way to configure the m3u sections as well?

With rc1 running ubuntu 22.04 when i shut down cabernet then restart it using CLI, i get error that ip/port already in use. system reboot resolves this issue. This was not the case when running old version.

nevermind i cant reproduce might have been something else.

0.9.11.00-RC2 Release Candidate
Mostly bug fixes and completing more of the plugin manager. Only issue is RC1 had a bug that disabled the upgrades from the home page (oops). What I did for RC2 was download the zip file in the release and unzip it into the Cabernet app folder. If all goes well, after restarting, the app will be on RC2.

Review the RC2 release notes before upgrading. If you have not upgraded to RC1, then the RC2 upgrade should appear on the home page.

Attached is updated channels.db file which includes addtional 180 channels.
Beware as doing the steps will brake the ability of cabernet software update and channels list update from daddy. thus any future updates will not auto update. EPG update works.

I have only tested this with 0.9.11.00-RC2 running on ubuntu 22.04

1. stop cabernet
2. back up old db or just rename it to channels_org.db located at ~/data/db/
3. download the attachment and place it in ~/data/db/channels.db
4. start cabernet

To revert back stop cabernet and copy old org backup over.

Nice. Am trying this channels.db
followed instructions, seems to be working good
I deleted the timed channel updates for daddylive

thanks

I am getting an indication that daddy changed their refer url. Is anyone having issues? I am trying hallmark.

It is looking fine now... I think it something to do with playing the first time each day. After starting and stopping a few times, things tend to work themselves out.

your RC1 code had the structure of json in channels.db differently then then previouse release. RC2 structure is same as previouse release. Ref_url was at the end. not sure if this is related or not. just observation.

It is working for me. DaddyLive is having growing issues with others being shutdown. They are getting a load of new users. A couple of days ago, they had to rebuild their US server. Many times, if Cabernet is having issues, it looks like DaddyLive is having a DDOS attack from Cabernet's perspective. It is more than likely just more traffic than they can handle. In general, they have a good service dept and the chat tool on their main page is pretty responsive to complaints, but that being said, it does look like they do have issues quite often right now. I do suspect things will get better. Also, note that the local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX seem to change locations based on what is available, so the tvguide may not be correct. Hopefully, it is close. I am also aware that they have a ton of channels not listed on their pages. People are just randomly trying different UID or asking the chat for a certain channel number. My understanding is the channels not listed are not maintained and may not exist at all times.

I still cannot get cabernet to show the DaddyLive channels on the m3u file. Everything is enabled for DaddyLive, channels show up in the Channel Editor but whenever I open the m3u file this is all the file has:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 channelID='612fea0e970e6f00083be56b' tvg-num='0' tvg-chno='0' tvg-name='TV Land Drama' tvg-id='612fea0e970e6f00083be56b' tvg-logo='https://images.pluto.tv/channels/612fea0e970e6f00083be56b/colorLogoPNG.png' group-title='PlutoTV|Entertainment',TV Land Drama
http://172.18.0.2:5004/PlutoTV/watch/612fea0e970e6f00083be56b

On Stream Providers I have enabled DaddyLive, DaddyLive Instance, M3u, Pluto TV and Pluto TV Instance.

On Channel Editor > DaddyLive I have:
Total Unique Channels = 306
Total Enabled Unique Channels = 306

On Channel Editor > PLuto TV I have (Only TV Land enabled):
Total Unique Channels = 373
Total Enabled Unique Channels = 1

I changed DaddyLive Starting Channel Number to 300 to see if what you wrote on the previous post would help but still cant get DaddyLive to show up on the m3u.

What changed in the last week or 2 that made DaddyLive not show up like it did just 2 weeks ago?

i get exactly your issue, doing Data Mgmt>reset channel data

after that i get daddy channels running fine

i added Vic K file so idk if that make not work on mine no idea im gonna try again replacing then check, im 306 channels on daddy im guessing was more

question whas the difference between xteve and cabernet, sorry ignorance, what i see so far we can record pluto here, thats great, and daddylives plugin, editon stuff.

about m3u generated, only way to load logos its passing through tvheadend? i did on two ways tvheadend gets the logos, m3u dont load it. or add.

its anyway to make work other countries plutos? or its only one by default. i guess in my case usa.

0.9.11.01 released
Finally got to a stable point. Plugin manager is enabled and visible. Only has a few commands (delete, install and upgrade without deleting data). Next is to migrate the plugins to the ext folder...

how many channels are from daddylive? i get 306. i replace channels.db i get same.

the m3u generated, if i replace ' for " this then logos and stuff can be recognized on my tivimate automaticated, idk its dumb thing that i see useful. or im doing wrong and its just normal. i see on iptv editor get columns doing this change when dont get it before.

before and after.

You need to restart the app for new db to take affect. You should see 486 with new db

0.9.11.03 Significantly improves the EPG for XUMO
