Interestingly, Live TV/DVR is on my list of "will look into it later". I've had an HDHomeRun plugged in for years, but only really use it once a month or so.
It would be nice to set up DVR and now that I have Jellyfin (which has a UI for it) running I might see how well it works. But since that wasn't one of my primary use cases I didn't really look into how well it functions.
- BeetleB 5y agoLast time I tried Jellyfin (months ago), I couldn't get Live TV to work. I'm sure it does work, but the config wasn't straightforward. Once you have it working, you then have to figure out TV listings, and I don't think there's a good free way to do that in the US. I looked at the costs, and it seemed the same or more than just paying for a lifetime Plex Pass. With Plex, it's literally plug and play - I don't think I had to configure anything to get the TV tuner card to work (other than to scan for channels). And its TV listings are pretty decent. Plex certainly has its warts. But it's much less "trouble" than Jellyfin. However, if all you want to do is stream media that's on your HD, and don't need fancy features (e.g. autodownloading subtitles), Jellyfin is probably good enough.
