    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 / about 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

  • Moving from ReadyNAS Pro 6 to Synology DS1621+
    How is the Media Server package? On the ReadyNAS, the ReadyMedia / MiniDLNA app started to choke on my files after the collection got a bit large. Source: about 1 year ago
  • DLNA internet radio controller - recommendations?
    We have several DLNA streamers around the house (Pure Jongo A2s -- old but work great), a NAS running minidlna which serves music, and we use Hifi Cast on Android phones to control it -- pointing the Jongos at the NAS. This works well for locally-hosted music. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Tangential question: How could I play mp3 files from an opendir?
    One free server that's been around for a long time is MiniDLNA. It is basic, but it works really well. Much like a webserver, it's configured through text files that you edit. (Or not... I haven't configured a webserver in a very long time.). Source: over 2 years ago
