Guys please recommend some interesting docker containers. What I currently have is seems to be ok, but I'm missing solutions that will make me get into it more. I know those long Reddit listings of self-hosted apps, but I haven't found many interesting things there.

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?
1 project | /r/PleX | 12 May 2023

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.

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.
