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.

AV1 Encoding in Handbrake w/ Intel Arc (Docker)?
The next step would be to figure out a bash script like that, work with the dev of Unmanic (https://github.com/Unmanic/unmanic) , or etc to start encoding my library once I know what I want.

Is there meaningful difference between FFMPEG and JELLYFIN_FFMPEG (Unmanic)?
I was eyeballing installing unmanic, a ffmpeg queue tool (https://github.com/Unmanic/unmanic) similarto TDarr, but one thing caught me off guard in the setup Dockerfile:
- Is there a way to force Jellyfin to remux all MKV to MP4?
- Need an app for automatic scanning, sorting, organizing and meta data extraction?

Why is Plex so slow on the RPI 4 ?
You may also wish to look into Unmanic for the ongoing maintenance of your media library. I don't currently use it myself. I have been meaning to try it, just haven't got around to doing it.
