Seems like most (if not all) the channels under the PLUTO_US, PLUTO_CA and PLUTO_UK categories have been down for a little while.
If we can get them back, it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ca:ctv news channel is frozen solid under the news category in primary video mode. Backup video mode, small screen.
Thanks

Yes

I noticed all the PlutoTV channels (us, ca, uk) have been down almost a week now and same thing happened about a month ago too

There are 385 PlutoTV channels from the us feed and they are adding more all the time..

look 2 posts above yours

pluto is free you can download there app

the host source that did all the redirects was taken down by dcma and dazan
google
DAZN DMCA Notice Hits Pluto TV Playlist Linking to read

we may put it back up but will take bit to make scripts to update every few hours the back end urls

[sdeens2019]

Ok I read the shutdown notice and it’s going to affect EVENTUALLY more than just PlutoTV but all free public FAST services

FAST is Free Advertisement Supported Television (PlutoTV, Tubi, Samsung plus etc)

Now this means you can download their free App, but that is obviously inconvenient and annoying

The simpler and automatically updated approach is to use Matt Huismann’s redirected url .m3u playlists
that we can load “on the fly” all the FAST free and legal public servers.

Sat9182 I think it should be an easy script to code and redirect these redirected FAST links that Matt is providing, so it shows up and works in our IPTV and has both EPG and it automatically updates when the providers change their urls.

In the meantime we can simply add his M3U playlists manually to our BuzzTV 4500 server settings menu

But obviously that is less convenient than having it already in our wickedTV since you login and out and back and forth
so you have to build up and save a playlist if you want to watch FAST providers like: PlutoTV, Tubi, Plex etc

I already added PlutoTV link for my Buzz 4500 and their 385 US channels load much faster and change quickly, but I the received the
link from a member here, so you have to look for it. Plus PlutoTV link may change andvv v the others too.

Matt Huismann provides a link to many of these FAST provided M3U playlist links on his website
just not PlutoTV because of the “shutoff” notice.

Even though they are free servers or FAST Providers it is considered piracy to redirect them.

So I would expect this will be a challenge for IPTV private services moving forward

So the sooner we get a working PlutoTV script the better, because TubiTV, Plex and others will be next

should just kill live link i think

yes but he pulled his pluto list so you cant use his lists for pluto

the problem is when there lists change every few hours and need to be re linked in panels we are running other scripts right now too and will get to pluto when we can as we are working on a few other ones right now and tweaking them first

[Emporium]

The M3U lists we had were definitely nice to have (and were around for a while). But like sat mentioned, they are dynamic and they change every few hours. These links are not "free" in the sense that you may think. The intention was for the streams to be used strictly by their client apps. They have all their own advertising in the client apps, and that is how they generate their revenue (nothing is free in this world). Using the direct links, bypasses all the advertisement (and all their revenue stream), since they do not inject advertising directly into the m3u8/hls stream.

Yes, Pluto has an API, which you can easily pull the channels and epg (for now). For those that are handy, they can easily create a script to do it, and there are even some docker containers which can handle it already (even some basic php pages exist). But like sat mentioned, having the list is only one part of the equation. Regularly injecting this "dynamic" link into the panel, is a completely different challenge.

If you do a little "googling" you can easily find at least 2 other sources for these dynamically generated lists. How long they will be around for (considering their location is now more front and center after this takedown), is anyone's guess.

The 2 or 3 pluto streams I personally watch, have not changed in a while. And since they are just 24/7 style channels, I don't really care about the epg for them anyhow. I just appended it to my own m3u list and it's on a private pastebin m3u file and I just use that link to watch them. 1 of those channels also seems to be the same stream running on the "redbox tv" category anyhow

When/if they are back, they are back I guess. In the meantime there are options anyhow

Thanks

I wish sat would drop those free services all together. Samsung has an url that loads just like your paid servers and appears within you player. They are just an app that stops playing anyways, why waste resources and time.
