Are any of you aware of projects similar to DizqueTV; a HDHomeRun tuner simulator that creates simulated live tv channels? (Dizque depends on Plex integration and cannot be used without it)
I’m looking for a solution to create simulated ‘tv’ channels by defining local content to be played on a schedule. Ideally just selecting a few shows to be played, mixed together. These channels would then be added to Emby/Plex/Jellyfin for users to tune into just like regular livetv.
I’ve been keeping an eye on Dizque for over a year now awaiting plex independence, but I don’t think that’ll be anytime soon. Wondering if there’s alternatives.
/edit; should probably link the project I’m talking about…
@Darkassassin07 https://ersatztv.org/ sounds like it fits your needs. It supports multiple media servers as a source and generates streams and guide information.
That does look about right. I’ll spin up a container and give it a shot when I’ve got a bit of free time.
Thanks!
The guides are pretty solid. The one that sometimes holds people up is ensuring you have a post-roll playout for the channel. I forgot that when going making new channels after a few months of initial config and it caused issues with channels rendering properly downstream.
