Pluto TV.

[jcole998]

Let me explain:

I am trying to use Powershell to obtain the PlutoTV channel lineup from SchedulesDirect using the JSON Rest interface. I can get the lineup for my Fios provider with:

"https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/lineups/preview/USA-NY67791-X"

I can't do this with what you supplied:

"https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/lineups/preview/NextPVR SD JSON"

An error "error: (500) Internal Server Error is returned. I'm trying to find out why.

How does "...use NextPVR." fit into this?

Of course you can't I was giving you instruction on what to do in NextPVR. Why are you cluttering up this thread? It's hard enough for new users to wade through valid comments. You aren't even using the SD API properly. Hint you were give the lineup code earlier USA-PLUTOTV-DEFAULT

see my update above - SD is working on updating their Pluto listings

It would be less cluttered if you had supplied in Post #68 what you supplied in Post #73.

Let's calm down. Yes? My questions are not clutter. And your answers can be obscure. I now have what I need and continue my project. Thank you.

Is there a way to bypass the geofencing that Pluto TV has? I know the Stitcher steams that are out there aren't geo-restricted, but as mentioned, have issues running in NPVR when ads come along. I'm trying your setup in Canada, and I'm only getting 11 channels available.

AFAIK, it would be the same methods as using other American services in Canada like the Hulu, American versions on Netflix and Prime. The extra itself is proxy aware but you would need a proxy.

I am in Canada too and Pluto for us is disappointing.

I installed plutotv per your instructions and the streamlink instructions for ubuntu.

The channels were found, automapped, and EPG was updated. But the pluto tv channels will not stream. I suspect something is wrong with my streamlink install. I read on this forum that it has to be installed for all users. Does that apply to ubuntu? 

streamlink runs from the command line as me or super user. (It answers the command prompt. I don't have vlc installed, so I haven't seen anything coming out of it.) Any idea about what I am missing?

It looks like the proper command is being called however streamlink would have to be in the path. Did you restart the service to get any new path after installing it?

If you have a GUI you don't need vlc your can pass streamlink to ffplay which is installed with ffmpeg.

I did restart the service.
I ran "streamlink https://pluto.tv/live-tv/cnn best -O ffprobe -i pipe:" as found in this thread. I got the error: "No plugin can handle URL: https://pluto.tv/live-tv/cnn"

That doesn't look like you have the pipe character however does streamlink -v show that you are running streamlink 2.00 ? If not then you need to follow the instructions in post one to install the latest version.
