• Old cMP 5,1 - Help me decide what to do with it?

  I was using https://serviio.org/ for streaming until it broke, never got around to fixing it (around 2017~). No idea if there's better options. Source: almost 2 years ago

• M3U

  I setup the Serviio server on my computer. I put in links to m3u8 channels I want to watch and broadcast them to my Roku TV. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Non-Internet way of watching movies from an External Hard drive?

  I use Serviio, https://serviio.org/, which I personally have found much easier to use than Plex. Streaming to BluRay players can be hit and miss (worked fine on my Sony, Samsung sucks) but it works fine with Roku (just need to install Roku Media Player from the app store).

• Can Hypnotix m3u8 links be extracted

  I don't have an HDMI cable long enough to go from the computer to the TV. I plug the links into Serviio and use the Roku Media Player on my TV to display the media browser from the server, so I can pick which IPTV channel I want to watch. As a bonus, I can stream local media, usually used for PLEX, on Serviio as well. But I can't plug entire lists in Serviio, and wouldn't want to anyway. Too many junk links. It's...

• Smart Audio for the Smart Home

  Im my experience Serviio was the only thing that made DNLA even half work and even with that it was flakey. https://serviio.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Diappearing Autorecs

  I posted this yesterday on the tvheadend.org board, but it's silent so far. I thought I'd try here:. Source: 11 months ago

• MythTV 33 Released – open-source All-in-one DVR

  Fwiw, Xbox One Digital TV Tuners and some RTL-SDRs (with an extra decoder chip) are able to pick up DVB-T2 and are usually £10~20 on eBay. https://tvheadend.org/ can be useful for interfacing with the tuners over USB and exposing web streams. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• DVR/Live TV in the UK?

  If your USB tuner works with Linux, you can use it with TVHeadend, and connect it to Jellyfin via the official plugin. I use it here and it works fairly well. Source: over 1 year ago

• Getting freeview TV live via internet directly

  They're expensive for what they are, though. If you're techy minded you can make your own using something like a Raspberry Pi, some USB TV tuners and TVHeadend. Source: over 1 year ago

• Self-hosted solution like HDHomeRun

  TVheadend (or the convenient linuxserver docker container). Source: over 1 year ago
