MSG+ is being replaced with a new service

[adamef93]

Me again haha

The new "Gotham Sports App" is combining YES and MSG+ into a single service which is, apparently, planned to launch before the start of the NHL and NBA seasons in October. Looks like existing MSG+ will be sunsetted when this launches, which I imagine means the authentication and stream grabbing code will need to be reworked for the new service

Assuming this launches in time, I'd be eternally grateful if it was possible to get this going for this season 💖

It looks like MSG+ and YES will keep running as well? I'm curious to see how it'll turn out. MSG+ was a pretty awful service to try and reverse engineer (terrible interface), so hopefully Gotham is better.

[adamef93]

MSG+ is kinda awful to use too, so I can only imagine lol

Yea, it looks like the plan is to bundle MSG+ and YES into the single Gotham front end, but people can still choose to subscribe to either separately or both. Hopefully this means the back end is left alone and your code will still work while both services are just wrapped in a different front end

Looks like it finally launched. If someone wants to lend me some creds I can take a look

[adamef93]

Awesome! The same creds I email for MSG will work.

@adamef93 can you send me the creds again? The link you sent has expired. If it's possible to send your TVE authentication too, that'd help a bunch

[adamef93]

Just resent the creds, but can't share the TVE creds since they aren't mine to share. Sorry :/ I hope the MSG/Gotham creds can still be some help

Removed MSG+ and replaced it with Gotham in v4.1.0

[adamef93]

Hey, what are the environment variables for logging in with Gotham? I changed MSGPLUS_USER and MSGPLUS_PASS to GOTHAM_USER/GOTHAM_PASS and GOTHAMSPORTS_USER/GOTHAMSPORTS_PASS but neither is producing a login prompt in the container logs

I'm assuming this change means you were able to get playback working?

Here are the logs from when the container starts up and I try loading a current event. I removed the docker volume where where /app/config/ is mapped and started fresh

> eplustv@4.1.0 start
> ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register index.tsx
=== E+TV v4.1.0 starting ===

Could not get a playlist for channel #9050. Please make sure there is an event scheduled and you have access to it.

Also should mention that I forgot to change MSGPLUS=true at first, but I tried setting it to GOTHAM=true and GOTHAMSPORTS=true with no change. I rolled back the image I'm using to 4.0.3 to use with MSG+ for tonight's game.

You don't need to use environment variables for providers now. Open the new dashboard in your browser

Oh wow, that's a big change. I dig it. Thanks!
