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.
They should already be named in such a way that they play nice with Plex's naming schemes, and they're divided into different folders for subject or network, so you don't need to download everything. Have fun, and don't forget to seed when you're done!
someone please tell me something like this exists for Japanese CMs from the 80s and on
