hi, Pluto TV is running Judge Judy 24/7. I know people on here are looking for certain episodes. The show is in the year 1987 right now.

PlutoTV and Jellyfin
I tried using this repo, https://github.com/evoactivity/PlutoIPTV, to generate an IPTV playlist but it created an .m3u8 file. I was able to import it into Jellyfin, and used SchedulesDirect for the Guide Data. This seemed to work, but when I tried watching a live PlutoTV channel (using the Roku Jellyfin client) the HD of my Jellyfin server was thrashed, which I assume was due to a transcoding issue.

IPTV provider
evoactivity/PlutoIPTV: Grab EPG & M3U from Pluto.tv (github.com)

Hypnotix changed
Linux Mint changed the default provider for channels. You are always welcome to add/remove sources to your liking. For instance, to add 256 TV Channels from Pluto, you can create a .m3u8 playlist with PlutoIPTV (or just a select few, if you set up your favorites). Then go to Providers (tv icon) > Add New Provider > select Local m3u file. You will then have to switch between the Free-TV set of channels and PlutoTV channels. (Hypnotix will remember your last selection if you close and re-open.)

Pluto TV outside of US using chromecast google tv.
The easiest way is download the APK and use a VPN, if you have a server based in the US you can run this script and download the m3u with the US channels: https://github.com/evoactivity/PlutoIPTV

Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels
I know of https://ersatztv.org which I used a while ago. With a Kodi frontend you can play on TV. Not sure it does podcasts and music though but I used it successfully for movies and TV shows.

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.
What are some alternatives?
