I set up a food channel that would cycle through Masterchef and a few travel cooking shows, one for anime and one for Bollywood movies.
It was incredibly enjoyable. I could just put on a channel after work without having to consciously make a decision on what to watch. Just watch whatever’s on the channel and switch over to something else if it didn’t click!
Definitely going to try this out on my NAS.
One thing that’s missing is the low-latency old analog systems had changing channels. Has anyone figured out a way to achieve this in the digital era?
The whole technology was kind of a dead man walking by that point in history. iPhone killed it all.
* up - next stream is one more channel up
* down - next stream is one more channel down
* last/prev - next stream is the previous channel.If somebody tunes in, the server figures out where to start the stream and begins streaming.
However I cannot understand how you extrapolated that I actually stated that Hacker News is turning into Reddit. That is factually and materially evident by my non-editable comment above.
I assume that you meant (1) and I can understand where you are coming from.
However we are just extremely into hosting our own servers and services. Some go to extremes, and there really are no places on the internet like /r/homelab and /r/homedatacenter , maybe only /r/selfhosted .
Being able to stream from my laptop to my TV in 1080p without any additional cables and using emulators for games is kind of dark magic.
I need to purchase a usb DAC and better quality BT streaming devices, creative a web-ui to finish the setup. But that was cool, would love to do something when I upgrade from an apartment especially with the 3x cable monitors.
I've seen a lot of clabretro's videos and am especially hooked on the token ring series. I don't know why since that was just outside of me starting to work on networking (we ran a 10-base-2 at home since my dad worked in networking) but he's so calm and a good story teller. Highly recommended channel!
The first is how you organize them. With 10k videos, do you organize the files in some way?
Secondly, aside from this project, have you found a nice way to browse/watch these videos?
Thirdly, any chance you could throw your scripts up somewhere?
Pinchflat does all the renaming, metadata, and file structure as I configure.
I wish it supported other sites that yt-dlp supports, particularly Nebula but this is already a great start, and hopefully they'll add other sites eventually. It seems this has been discussed before.
This is the command that the daemon runs to request 720p, for example:
command = 'yt-dlp --write-info-json -f "bv*[height<=720]+ba" --output "out.%%(ext)s" --merge-output-format mp4 "%s"' % urlAlso when I'm in NewPipe on the phone I can go to a video and share the URL to an app that forwards it to the web service.
I just parse the URLs from the liked playlist every couple of days with a Chrome extension then simply run the app.
yt-dlp would work automatically too with logins but I'm always too nervous that Google would just straight up ban my account for whatever reasons. So I rather do it in a more manual way.
I have a lot of plans for this project, so I'm really excited to see some enthusiasm around it!
Thanks for sharing.

A lot of older people's objection to streaming is "I want to push a physical switch and get decent music + news + a bit of talk from a nice-sounding speaker". Radio provides this. Streaming does not.
I was not able to figure this out from the docs thus far.
I just love the feeling this gives. I'm even almost tempted to add some K-Mart infomercials vhs rips:)
FYI with ErsatzTV, the one I use, (which is great) a Plex Pass isn't needed.
Is it possible that you had this working in the past but Plex has since removed the functionality from their free tier?
Tunarr is, currently (and like it's predecessor dizqueTV), a bottom-up scheduler. You create a schedule with a flat list of programs (episodes, movies, etc). Then, you apply transformations to that list (grouping, padding, etc) in order to build your schedule. This is a bit of a simplification.
Both programs have a range of tedium in their scheduling, depending on how particular you are about your schedule.
Of course, ETV is more mature than Tunarr, so there are a lot of other features it has that Tunarr does not. It is also, likely, more stable. However Tunarr's streaming stability has come a long way and was the primary focus in the beginning of the project.
It's a but rough around the edges, but still pretty good for a project that is obviously in the early stages.
The transctranscoding pipeline seems a bit confused, though. It seems like Tunarr is streaming meadia (raw?) from Jellyfin, and doing its own transcoding. Then jellyfin sees it as a raw broadcast signal, and then transcodes 2-5 second chunks to send out to the client.
Every client I've tried to use has had some real buffering problems. The system can just barely pump out frames fast enough for a 1:1 playback speed. Most clients only ever have a few seconds in the buffer, so interruptions are frequent. It also seems to not support subtitles correctly? All of my shows have subtitles, but I don't get an option to enable them during playback.
Jellyfin also doesn't seem to like the program guide.
One of my channels shows up correctly, and the guide info is integrated into jellyfin. If I open that channel, it shows me thumbnails for all upcoming episodes, and they're linked to the episodes in my library. The other channel has nothing. I can only show what's playing now.
But, it's all pretty simple to set up, and my husband is thrilled about his favorite comfort show now being on a permanent loop he can tune into at any time
