Wondering if it's possible for cabernet to work with https://thetvapp.to/tv? Would this require a new plug-in similar to the existing ones? The daddylive site seems to have lots of issues / go down a lot and tvapp website is more reliable for me and would love to be able to pipe it into plex using cabernet if possible

There's a Kodi plugin for that site(currently). So at least it wouldn't be to hard to figure out how to get the actual streams. The main advantage DaddyLive has is more channels. I would prefer reliability over more, personally. There is really only 1 channel on DaddyLive that I would want that isn't available on TheTVApp site.

The channels on thetvapp seem to be the same as what we have already in cabernet with Pluto and Xumo.

The nice thing about DaddyLive is access to channels from various other countries. E.g. the UK with BBC One, Two, Three, Four, ITV1-4, etc. Also it has Canadian channels like CBC, CTV,etc. These are definitely channels I watch and record. While they do not have a tvguide/epg for these UK and Canadian channels provided by cabernet you can pull the EPG from at least two or three different places that I know if and the EPG is free as long as you do a bit of scripting and cron jobs (mc2xml, webgrabplus and/or zap2xml)

I don't think you'll find any of the channels on TheTVApp on Pluto or Xumo. Those are "Premium" US channels. Ever heard of HBO, Cinemax, ESPN, etc? If you can get those through Pluto or Xumo, please point me in the direction to that app(which none of those really matter that much to me, but it's an example).

One other thing. I believe TheTVApp even has some channels that DaddyLive doesn't(as far as Premium). I agree that DaddyLive has a lot more, but it can be very sporadic at times like originally posted.

I have both DaddyLive and TheTvApp in my list, simply to have redundancy. You never know when one service will die.

However, what I did is I created a docker image which automatically does the fetching to get the latest EPG and m3u for thetvapp, and then I add a new m3u into Cabernet. It has worked great.

Yeah it's not a direct Cabernet plugin, but I'm running it on cabernet and haven't had an issue.

[m3u_default]
label = TheTvApp Instance
enabled = True
channel-m3u_file = https://tv.domain.com/thetvapp.m3u8
channel-start_ch_num = 700
player-stream_type = m3u8redirect
epg-xmltv_file = https://tv.domain.com/thetvapp.xml.gz

I have watched and recorded HBO, Cinemax, etc via Cabernet so I should have included DaddyLive with Pluto and Xumo in my first statement. DaddyLive has HBO, Cinemax, and more. The problem with DaddyLive is there has been issues (timeout, outages,etc). However I do watch and record multiple DaddyLive channels these days and it is not too bad with some tweaks I am testing on my tvheadend configuration. I am hoping DaddyLive improves and/or we find ways to mitigate the issues.
