PlutoTV plugin, now for OpenViX

[Huevos]

If you have stream freezing issues you may need to connect via a vpn.

The spell to cast was indeed to install a VPN...

Hello.
I downloaded the pluto tv extension plugin. It doesn't appear in my main plugin list. It does appear on my user installed list. How do I actually make it start?

No, forget that, just tried again and I can see it now in the main list.
Where has it been for the last 4 hours? I had rebooted several times.
And when I tried searching for help, I got 'site down for essential maintenance'.
Anyhoo, now working, watching Canadian tv from France.

No more working. Is there something that can be done to fix it ?

 

[Huevos]

Are you using original format?

 

[Orlandox]

Yes, Live TV Mode = Original

https://github.com/kineticman/pluto-for-channels describes a fix/workaround... however, i can't assess whether it works or not.

Where exactly? That just points to a repo. We need to see how to grab the session token and use it.

in the changes section of the readme.

session = requests.Session() ... ???

 

[Huevos]

session = requests.Session() ... ???

So where is the token returned by the server?

 

[2stein]

well, i'm not very familiar with that either but my "advisor" suggests something like this:

import requests
import uuid

PLUTO_BOOT_URL = "https://boot.pluto.tv/v4/start"
PLUTO_API_URL = "https://api.pluto.tv/v3"
DEVICE_ID = uuid.uuid4().hex
HEADERS = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36"}


def getSessionToken():
    params = {
        "appName": "web",
        "appVersion": "9.9.0",
        "deviceVersion": "100",
        "deviceId": DEVICE_ID,
        "deviceType": "web",
        "deviceMake": "Firefox",
        "deviceModel": "web",
        "deviceDNT": 0,
        "channelSlug": "",
        "clientID": DEVICE_ID,
        "clientModelNumber": "1.0.0",
    }
    try:
        response = requests.get(PLUTO_BOOT_URL, params=params, headers=HEADERS, timeout=5)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json().get("sessionToken", "")
    except Exception:
        return ""


def getURL(url, param=None):
    try:
        print("[getURL] url", url)
        req = requests.get(url, params=param, headers=HEADERS, timeout=5)
        req.raise_for_status()
        response = req.json()
        req.close()
        return response
    except Exception:
        return {}


# Usage
session_token = getSessionToken()
if session_token:
    vod = getURL(f"{PLUTO_API_URL}/vod/categories", {
        "includeItems": "true",
        "deviceType": "web",
        "sid": session_token,
        "deviceId": DEVICE_ID,
    })

changed the code above... it's supposed to work now.

 

[Huevos]

Who is your advisor?

 

[2stein]

ai claude. maybe i should give it the whole plugin https://github.com/oe-alliance/PlutoTV and see what it suggests?

 

[Huevos]

No. That is not our plugin.

Ours is half the size and does more.
