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.

Hey guys, I've been looking to build a media project that mimics a broadcast TV channel for personal use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There have been a number of attempts to modernize it, like this one: https://github.com/DEFENDORe/pseudotv

Something similar to DizqueTV
One of there early builds of pseudotv only worked on Plex playlists and would update the playlist after a certain amount of time. Any playlists in your Plex library with a "Summary" starting with "pseudotv" would be added as a channel. Worked pretty decent with Plex's smart playlist feature. https://github.com/DEFENDORe/pseudotv/tree/ff808b419e0d65c08234bbe91547658946ba6d95
