As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I’m still here… recording Live TV, watching films, listening to “me choonz” all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

    oh wow, not in a long time…well over a decade…almost 2! i gave up on live tv around then

    im usin kodi/jellyfin (plex is proprietary) mostly for the ‘pseudotv’ plugin… so i can have a cable-like system from my local storage

      Nice. I think we simultaneously wrote very similar comments. But I don’t use my Jellifin to mimick live TV. Either I choose some movie or the next episode of my new favorite TV show, or I just waste my time on YouTube. I also used to watch Netflix, but I think they removed most of the interesting content.

          Yeah, now it’s charity shops… walk in, pay almost nothing for some DVDs, rip the disk, return them to another charity shop…

          Better business model than Blockbuster 😉
