dizqueTV-scripts VS ErsatzTV

I followed the directions from github to set up scripts that updated based on playlists. Then i set up the playlists to remove content watched within a certain time period. Finally, I set up an automated task to run the scripts over night so each day I would know with certainty nothing i recently watched would come up

You might want to take a look at the scripts - and API that nwithan8 created. These can be used to update channel content from your Plex playlists, as well as other channel customization.

There’s a set of scripts which you can use to update channels periodically: https://github.com/nwithan8/dizqueTV-scripts

""" DizqueTV scripts created by nwithan8 (https://github.com/nwithan8/dizqueTV-scripts) Copy all items from a Plex playlist to an existing dizqueTV channel. Refreshes the channel (removes all existing programs, re-adds new items)

hahaha I learned everything I know from /r/Datahoarder, /r/buildapcsales(for the HDDs, currently have 24tb's) and ErsatzTV for the IPTV server.

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.

Yep, another one is https://ersatztv.org/

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.

ErsatzTV: https://ersatztv.org/ — custom IPTV channels from my media library (e.g., a comedy channel, 1980s movies, etc)

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.

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.
