Are any of you aware of projects similar to DizqueTV; a HDHomeRun tuner simulator that creates simulated live tv channels? (Dizque depends on Plex integration and cannot be used without it)
I’m looking for a solution to create simulated ‘tv’ channels by defining local content to be played on a schedule. Ideally just selecting a few shows to be played, mixed together. These channels would then be added to Emby/Plex/Jellyfin for users to tune into just like regular livetv.
I’ve been keeping an eye on Dizque for over a year now awaiting plex independence, but I don’t think that’ll be anytime soon. Wondering if there’s alternatives.
/edit; should probably link the project I’m talking about…
I can second this. Been running Ersatz for about 6 months now after getting endless frustration with Disque. Currently have 7 channels configured, upwards of 2 to 3 active at any given point.
One of the things that seems to help with not dropping streams as much is configuring it to treat your media shares as local to ersatz. I had tried mirroring my Disque setup with Plex managing the libraries via Plex Playlists and it was sloppy and dropped a lot between episodes/media.
Anyways, +1 for Ersatz.
