mythtv VS traefik

Yes you need a TV tuner card and Plex might be serviceable but there's possibly better solutions like myth https://www.mythtv.org/

You may be interested in MythTV.

MythTV - Amazing (if a bit crotchety) PVR for OTA TV programming, as well as a decent media server. I think I might be the only one on this list running it! :D

A decent explanation of how to use MythTV to identify commercials is available here, https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/tree/master/mythtv/programs...

I wanted to like jellyfin. It seemed like a great option for playing music.

But the 17,000 music tracks in my library crashes the jellyfin server every time I tried to play music.

Plex and Emby phone home all the time (why should they need to do that when all my media is local? No thanks!)

And so I stick with Mythtv[0] (which really seems out of favor with folks these days) which has awesome codec support (I haven't had to transcode anything, it just plays -- probably because ffmpeg is their back end).

It plays my music library, it plays and manages my 10,000+ item video library, supports a real remote control (in my case an Inteset 422[3]) via IR or Wifi.

I can keep my backend (server) (VM with multiple data sources) and frontend (playback/library management) version sync'ed with normal update processes via the appropriate software repositories (in my case, RPM Fusion on Fedora, but other distros[1] have the same).

It doesn't support streaming from Android/IOS/etc, but I just make my libraries externally available via Nextcloud[2], which meets my remote streaming needs.

No, it's not perfect. Yes, the add-on ecosystem is pretty awful. The devs seem much more interested in the DVR functionality (which I don't use) than the video/music library functionality.

That said, it's under active development with regular bug fixes and feature releases and has a fairly active user community.

But there's zero external communication required (unlike Plex or Emby), nor are there any commercial integrations (well, if you want to use the DVR functionality you do need to buy a yearly subscription (IIRC ~USD$15) for the guide data, but I don't use the DVR functionality, so I don't need it).

There certainly are limitations:

1. No streaming apps, but I don't care about that. If I want a streaming client I'll just use my roku;

2. Grabbing video metadata can be a pill if file naming conventions are too different from themoviedb.org and/or thetvdb.com;

3. No direct torrent integrations;

It's not fabulous, but it works for me. And if you just want something to host/play your local media, it's pretty darn good.

Did I mention that I have yet to transcode anything to get video (with or without subtitles) to play?

I use MyrhTV with two PlayStation PlayTV USB tuners. Each tuner has two units internally, so it's actually four physical tuners connected.

The solution is to buy a large 4K monitor rather than a TV and then control the TV side of it yourself using MythTV or similar:

Pronounced "traffic", Traefik is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer aimed at making deploying microservices easier. It integrates with your existing infrastructure components such as Docker, Kubernetes, and others, and configures itself automatically and dynamically. The latest version adds lots of new options and enhancements such as adding healthcheck options, support for custom headers, and more. Read the migration guide on how to update to the latest version which is now required due to breaking changes.

However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

Not as good though. Case in point: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5472#issuecomment-... (that's just from this morning)

I'm speak objectively here. Of course, any built-in auto HTTPS that works (more or less) is better than none. Traefik uses an ACME library that was originally written for Caddy. After the original author left that project, Traefik team started maintaining it. Caddy's users' requirements exceeded what the library was capable of, but unfortunately there was friction in getting it to achieve our requirements. So I ended up writing a new ACME client library in Go and, together with upgrades in CertMagic (Caddy's auto-TLS lib), Caddy has the more flexible, robust, and capable auto-HTTPS functionality.

That is to say, not all auto-HTTPS functionalities are the same.

We'll use Traefik, an open source cloud native gateway that can plug into a Kubernetes cluster. It has the concept of "middleware" that can process API requests before passing them through to a backend. We can configuring a rate limit for all of our API endpoints by matching on the request path:

I did the same question here and here

Sadly there is currently no way of doing so. https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/6999

Traefik is another widely used system that has automatic configuration and offers support for more things like swarm/kubernetes/etc.
