I submitted a pull request that was shut down and the only feedback was “I don’t think this is the way we’d do it.”
I know managing community contributions is a big task but if you want people to volunteer, a baseline amount of effort should be made to enable it.
It’s also helpful to have automated tests to increase confidence that a change won’t break existing features.
Please do.
It sounds like you need xTeVe to rebroadcast the stream inside your house. NextPVR is good at recording but not rebroadcasting.
I don’t know of any tutorials for that but the high level is to configure xTeVe with the playlist/EPG and then point Jellyfin at your xTeVe instance. You should be able to follow the instructions for “Emby” in the docs. Jellyfin is a fork of Emby so the instructions should be very similar.
How far along are you in that process?
Check out NextPVR. There is a Jellyfin plugin that allows you to view the programs and manage recording right in Jellyfin. The hardest part is getting the file permissions / ownership right.
I added a “device” which is actually pointing to a series of XML files that describe the IPTV available in my country. You might be able to find similar streams in your country.
Xteve is good for if you can only create a single connection to a stream, and you want to rebroadcast it to multiple clients. This is good if you have multiple TVs but only a single IP address. I noticed the IPTV feeds don’t seem to limit the number of connections. It does seem to do geoblocking though so people outside the country can’t view some of the channels.
Wireless-only mesh is only as good as the weakest connection. You want mesh routers connected via ethernet or powerline where possible.
I’ve seen people run ethernet over rooftops and outside windows around houses.
Does “Jack The Ripper” still work these days?
I’m guessing they’re on CG-NAT and someone upstairs thinks staying ipv4 reduces customer support costs.

Respect! Nobody can accuse you of a half-assed effort.

This looks great. I am going to spin up an instance.
Have you seen this story about running a linux mirror yet? The author was like: “What to do with all thins extra bandwidth? I’ll run a mirror.” Caveat: It’s a bit of a headache.

How does one make bots for lemmy?
Edit: looks like there are libraries to help with that. E.g. https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-bot
