Pluto TV script

Chris G · 2024-12-04T23:26:25+00:00

Here is my custom Pluto TV script for TVHeadand. It requires Streamlink and makes use of TVHeadends useful pipe options. It queries the Pluto TV API directly...

jrockow It's still working for me:

It will depend on Streamlink maintaining support for PlutoTV.
I had to update it a while back when PlutoTV changed whatever they changed.

Chris G Thanx for your reply.
Is this just for LIve TV, or does it also include the VOD shows?
If not VOD, can it be modified to do that?

jrockow

jrockow Also, I guess there's no way to get subtitles for the LIVE or VOD selections?

I hope this is still working, and that my failure is an easy one to correct. I'm utilizing the last script you posted, the one that allows you to pick the region you want to access Pluto TV via by putting in a fixed IP address. Since I'm accessing from the USA I just left it blank. I ran the script and got the following output:

2026-08-23 03:36:47.166 bouquet: new bouquet 'Pluto TV (USA)'

...

I can see the 427 "Muxes," but no "Services" under Configuration > DVB Inputs. I can similarly see 427 "EPG Grabber Channels" but no "Channels" under Configuration > Channel/EPG.

As I have no channels I'm unable to stream within Electronic Program Guide (which is blank) > Watch TV.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Its broken. I just use 3rd party redirects now. BuddyChewChew/app-m3u-generator
Issues at ad breaks, but since I mainly use if for sports, I can live with it.

Bill

It is working for me with the latest streamlink. The only issue I have is that the shows start earlier than the recording. I'm missing the beginning and at the end I have the beginning of the next show. My clock is correct.

Chris G

Bill Where did you install Streamlink from? Not working for me.

Bill

I used the script you mentioned...

root@gimli:/config/custom-cont-init.d# cat streamlink.sh 
apk add py3-pip && pip install streamlink --break-system-packages

pip freeze | grep streamlink
streamlink==8.6.0

Did you modify the script at all?

Bill

I didn't modify anything... I'm in the US. Is it a different server??

Chris G

Maybe. I just noticed when I try to watch US its redirecting to GB. Guess it requires a proxy now.
