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.
Maybe there's a way to have dizqueTV play nice with Intel GPUs through Docker (on TrueNAS Scale) but when I tried it seemed Intel GPU support was very early and not stable yet so I went with ErsatzTV even if its UI isn't as noob-friendly as dizqueTV 🥲
I didn't go as far as @QuestForTori above but this is my current setup. Maybe one day I'll bother learning how to do more involved schedules that aren't "one show on loop" but I like it that way for now 😛
