i was talking with a friend about missing and trying to recreate the classic tv experience on plex and kodi, and while googling around i found this absolutely incredible project:
this person built their own tv, including building the channels themselves and programming it with accurately timed bumpers, commercials, and seasonal content. this is an insane amount of work but it looks so so worth it to me. this is SO cool. i want it so bad
It's not quite as bespoke as this person's solution, but it's a lot easier to do, and lets you access your channels from any device that you already use Plex on.
Me and my friend EntranceJew have been essentially trying to do this with a home grown application + discord streaming + a python script that scrapes youtube every hour basically since the pandemic began.
We keep getting thrarted by catastrophic hardware failures. The unity version also was kind of really rough so it's been rewritten in Electron, but TV Time V2 is missing alot of features (like youtube integration)
