Wanted - IPTV Front-end
Greetings, all! I am attempting to set up a fantasy TV station for my friends. Currently, I am using ersatztv for the backend, which provides me with all of the content and channel creation and management. So far I am happy with it because it provides hardware transcoding for the streams on consumer hardware.

Is there a service that can turn my tv shows into a channel?
Yep, another one is https://ersatztv.org/

What's the best way to create your own TV channels?
Personally, my preferred one is ErsatzTV. It's for a couple of reasons but they mainly come down to not being tied directly to the media server application itself.

Chocolate, an opensource alternative to Plex
Projects like DizqueTV and https://ersatztv.org/ were created to emulate a HDHomeRun to make “fake live tv” available in Plex’s Live TV interface, using Library content to emulate live TV channels you would pick up over an antenna.

Gamechanger Plex TV channels with dizquetv. Didn't know about this until tonight!
I have a potato (J4105) Plex server and tried DizqueTV, ErsatzTV and Jason's DizqueTV fork very recently. But I couldn't get it stable unfortunately. When one series would work great, another one wouldn't, or even refused to play. Or certain program boundaries made the player crash from time to time. And watermark overlays were another story of it's own.

Easily Archive YouTube Channels and Videos - Classic YouTube videos in Danger after new rule changes. We need to start archiving our favorite content.
The plex script is pseudo channel. After it's set up, you can create any number of "channels" that maintain a daily schedule, advancing TV episodes when they show up and selecting random movies based on specified metadata. It peppers commercials in between scheduled items randomly (simulating actual in-show commercial breaks is quite a bit more challenging).

There's a Plex approach to this, in fact.
