MythTV 36 is now available for this long-time open-source digital video recorder “DVR” software that has been around now for more than two decades as the leading choice for those wishing to watch and/or record live TV under Linux especially as an HTPC.
MythTV is out with its annual feature release. Even with all of the Internet streaming and video on-demand services these days, MythTV continues pushing forward for those desiring an open-source DVR/PVR solution. With MythTV 36 they have made enhancements to their Web App as well as introducing FFmpeg 8 multimedia library support. Those are the main additions to find with MythTV 36 along with various bug fixes.
Ikr? Lol I haven’t run MythTV since I last paid for cable and had a Cablecard sooo about…10+years now lmfao
It has to be 20 years since I just went full pirate. Maybe 25.
Ngl I kinda miss cable, just for the aspect of being able to choose content based on channel and just let it go
There’s a way to replicate it in Plex/Jellyfin by basically building out your own “channels” and having it draw from your own content files, but that’s a project in of itself that is on my ever growing project list lmao
There was some sort of Jellyfin/Plex ersatz “TV channel” thing that Chris Fisher on Linux Unplugged was talking about. Can’t remember what the name was.
It’s literally called that 😸

Lol. OK, that’s why that stuck in my brain. Thanks!
Maybe this is my sign to finally get it off my project list and deployed lolol
