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.

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.

I'm fine with the basics of Plex - now what can I do to really use plex to it's full potential?
with an IPTV provider, you can proxy the m3u playlist from that through xTeVe to have Plex find it as a virtualized "tuner" and then just set it up just like a HDHR. it works surprisingly smoothly, assuming your IPTV provider is decent. https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe

How does IPTV DVR work best in 2023
Then I tried Xteve Pros: All Channels are available Cons: Recordings don't really work, they tend to record a 2-minute segment for the entire time Viewing doesn't really work, a lot of errors. Very random. I think it has to do with the buffering setup.
