I let Cabernet update to Version: 0.9.14.01 after not touching it for several months, well that was a big mistake because now nothing works. Specifically, if I go into Stream Providers there is nothing there. If I try to access an xml or m3u file there is nothing at all in it other than the header. This is on a system running Debian Linux 5.10.197-1.

So I reverted the system back to a snapshot prior to the upgrade, which took me back to Version: 0.9.13.11 then it all worked again, but it complains that my plugins need an upgrade (but says "Error: Cabernet version 0.9.13.11 too low for plugin. Requires 0.9.14.00, aborting install") and of course on the home page it wants me to upgrade Cabernet to the version that doesn't work.

Any suggestions? Note that just because I run a Linux server doesn't mean I know all that much about Linux.

I had the same experience. Then I found that when I upgraded to 0.9.14 all my plugins just needed to be reinstalled.
Just go to 'plugins' and then click on catalog and install the ones you want.

You are the second person to claim they upgraded from an old version and it messed up. What Cabernet should be doing is doing a third position upgrade at a time and running the patch upgrade. So, it would upgrade from 0.9.12.x to 0.9.13.x to 0.9.14.x. It looks like it is not working correctly, so the best thing to do is to clean out the data folder (at least the config.ini, and db folder) and start with a fresh latest. The changes to the config.ini and db files would be difficult to do manually. I will take a look at the patch upgrade system and see what is happening. I know it works when you are only one third position version back.

I am already running 0.9.13.11, that is what I have been running for months, so it only tried to go from that to 0.9.14.01 when I saw the problem. I don't have time to try anything right now but maybe sometime in the next few days I will, particularly if you happen to find a problem in the upgrade system and fix it. I kind of hate to touch a working system, but on the other hand I don't want to let it get too out of date.

As for the plugins, once I had done the upgrade I did look at the plugins and it said they were all already installed, which I thought a bit odd because there were only a couple that I had installed in version 0.9.13.11 prior to the upgrade. And I could not see any way to remove the ones I didn't want (not from the web interface, anyway) but then I realized that was probably also another symptom of whatever went wrong during the upgrade.

Since the 0.9.14 upgrade(s) I haven't been able to get all the Pluto channels. Is there something I've forgotten to add in the config file?

Your symptons sound exactly like mine. It looked like I had all the plugin installed and yet there was nothing in 'stream providers' and 'epg providers'. I would recommend you take a second look at your plugins. Be sure to note the two tabs at the top of the plugin screen named 'My Plugins" and "Catalog". If there seemed like there was no way to remove a plugin you didn't want you might have been looking at the plugin 'Catalog' tab which shows you plugins that are not installed but you can install. Make sure you are looking at the 'My Plugins' tab which shows you the installed plugins.

For the person with the PlutoTV issue. This is something that has been around forever. I am surprised you are not aware that the stream has dead spots during commercials. If you run TVH Force Scan, it will say 80% of the channels are OK. This is because 20% of them are on commercial. Rerunning scans for those channels that failed will make for more channels that are OK. Continue until all are up.

Travis Leake

I'm sorry about not being clear. I'm referring to the cabernet app itself. Before the upgrades to 0.9.14.xx I got several hundred Pluto channels. Every time through these upgrades of 0.9.14 I only get what seems like the Spanish channels, about 150 of them in the channel editor. I looked around for anyone else having this problem and was hoping it was an easy fix like something I was forgetting to do during setup.

G Kazaroth

Instead of being convoluted, it would have been better to just say I only have x channels total listed in channel editor for PlutoTV. In my case I have 404.

Travis Leake

My communication skills and forum etiquette are atrocious, my apologies. Is there a way to get my Pluto channels to 404 also?

G Kazaroth

You would need to supply a log file at the debug level during plutotv channel update. It needs show when it actually runs and does not skip the run.

If it worked correctly, there should be very few lines starting with the schedule event and ending with something like:
INFO:channels PlutoTV: Found 408 stations on instance default

Travis Leake

INFO:channels PlutoTV: Found 146 stations on instance default.

G Kazaroth

Although you did not follow instructions and provide a DEBUG log (it was an INFO log instead), lets assume no issues with the channel list. Next thing would be for you to go directly to the pluto site and see what you get in a browser. Checkout

https://api.pluto.tv/v2/channels

The number of entries in the list equals the number of channels. If you find the 146 items listed, then its the site and not Cabernet.

I would recommend using Firefox, but that is my opinion.

Travis Leake

Your last post made me realize it was possibly my vpn. It just never occurred to me until you convinced me it was the site and not the app. I turned it off and all the channels magically appeared. Thank you for the help! I truly appreciate it.

I ran into the same thing. with my vpn set to Denver i was only getting Spanish stations. going to the plutotv web site i only saw Spanish stations. Changed VPN to a different state and everything was fine.

anders suarz

thats weird you get spanish channels using vpn set to denver

it can be logic using a spanish country vpn but one from usa?

thats express vpn maybe

My question(s) may make it obvious to others that I'm in over my head. if not - with your help, I'll hopefully get past this hurdle and move forward. Been MANY years since I was halfway proficient in unix/linux so any patience is much appreciated.

Environment - running tvheadend in wsl/ubunto within win10 so bouncing between doing things in windows and wsl. Did Cabernet windows install and running windows service. (sidenote: best i could tell, most recent windows install was several releases back). I'm not sure if trying to run this mixed windows/wsl environment is going to bite my backside going forward. I'm already running into some confusion with steps to complete in windows vs those that seem tied to wsl and the file locations seem a bit difficult to track down in this environment.

In the instructions above, I'm to the point of adding the "grabber", here - "Place the grabber file in the same location as the other TVHeadend tv_grab* files, change the permissions to executable and restart TVHeadend".

The grabbers I'm seeing ~will add folder location here~ have sub-folders like tv_guide, etc. The "grabber" file I downloaded following the directions on github is a text file. Am I potentially downloading the wrong thing or incorrectly?

What exact folder should this be in?
What extension should it have?

Can the "make it executable" be done in windows or do i need to pop over to wsl for that?

Thanks for any help or lmk i should give this up and move to a strictly linux setup.

G Kazaroth

Sorry, forgot to push an installer with .01 It is now there. One note, when you install it, I highly recommend you change the location of the data folder to somewhere that is easy to access.

All grabber files are shell scripts, so yes they are text. Location can be OS dependent, but look for the tv_grab* files. Mine were in the /usr/bin folder. The grabber files do not have an extension. In the first line of the file contains the script binary it will use to execute the script. Not sure about windows with grabber files.

Just an additional note... If you install VLC in Windows, you can test out Cabernet. Take a look at the links page. After installing plugins and getting channels to show up in the channel editor, you can click on the channel.m3u link and load that file into VLC. Then you can play a channel.

scott Armstrong

Thank you! I got to the point of having the gabber show up and enabled it configured as shown. It is currently the only enabled grabber. Oddly, each grabber, including the newly added tv_grab_url, is listed twice. Not sure what that means or if it explains why when I "rerun internal grabbers" it comes back immediately. The log shows no errors but also no channels, etc. Nothing shows up in the channels tab other than previously setup ota hdhomerun channels.

Am I supposed to be doing configuration in Cabernet as well or just the setup you show in tvheadend?

Any thoughts appreciated.

anders suarz

just see all epg its there, curious its kinda script that fill all channels with name of channel on epg? thats cool.
