TV Everywhere Support (Maybe via Extra)

[pkscout]

I've been going back and forth about this request, but after seeing the thread in the general section about locast support, I thought I'd post it here just for giggles. Right now I am using Channels DVR to "convert" TV Everywhere channels (which I have access to through my Spectrum login) to IPTV channels that I can ingest into NextPVR. It's working (I'm using an RPi4 since there is no transcoding, just some remuxing of the strem apparently), and I've turned off my analog encoder/cablebox/IR blaster solution for now in favor of that. But it would be nice to do it without another piece of hardware/software. TV Everywhere is more complicated than locast mostly because it looks like you have to login, get a list of channels, authenticate, and then use widevine to decode things. So it might not be reasonable to expect an Extra to manage all that (and I don't think I have the knowledge of TV Everywhere and/or widevine to do the programming work).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea, that's about where I lost myself.  '-)

I think when I get everything set the way I want I'll at least post something in the tuner section on the setup. It doesn't get you out of some kind of "cable" subscription, but you aren't dependent on cable cards and can use things like Philo (as long as they have the channels you want via TV Everywhere).
