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

this is basically what I’d like to get the video rooms up to for Dragon Con and this may be a good solution…

too close to this year’s show to go buck wild and just completely change up tech stacks again, but worth looking at

in reply to @margot's post:

OK, REAL quick followup: I made a rudimentary thing in a few hours using ErsatzTV, a thing linked in that video's description. 3 Channels made so far from my plex library that I can load from a tablet, or in VLC on my computer.

No bumpers/filler stuff, just straight "Play episodes one after the other" because I don't have handy filler stuff on hand, but I might be able to use like, Music as the fillers.

oh nice!! yeah i definitely want to try out the recommended plugins-- i've basically been doing this manually for years lol, with no bumpers just shows.

its cool if it sets that stuff up manually for you! i will probably become even more of a monster media hoarder with it as a resource

Basically, you choose what goes in a Collection, create a channel, make a schedule where you either pick a collection of shows/movies/songs/however you build it or individual shows/movies/albums, and then tie them together and it'll automatically generate a schedule for you.
