A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've found these two on the official Jellyfin docs:

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-nextpvr

https://github.com/TheJF/antennas

I'm sure there are more out there that are not documented by Jellyfin themselves.

Right, OK.

Those plugins parse live streams from specific sources. This website searches other websites for on-demand videos and returns links to them wrapped in an HTML5 video player for your convenience.

Jellyfin can handle a live stream (as in, a set of TV channels that it can tune in to) via one of these plugins, but that's an altogether different process than hooking it up to this website.

I'm not saying it can't be done, to be clear. It can. It's just this would need a new plugin for Jellyfin and it'd be substantially more work than those plugins for the reasons I've outlined.

Got it. What do you think about the ones on the bottom of this comment?:

Well Lazyman is archived so that's dead, but it's also a livestream usecase for live sports.

That last one is more interesting since it's using youtube-dl to create streaming links out of sources. Looks like it hasn't been updated since Jellyfin 10.7.7 and JF is currently on 10.8.10, so it'd need some work for sure, but it's definitely closer to what you'd need to do to hook this site up with JF.

Great, thanks!
