Havn't looked at it; but, wish it would work with streaming services / on-demand.
- cube00 4y agoStreaming services are never going to open themselves up for this.
- prmoustache 4y agoI record streaming services with obs. I guess one could script something with some browser automation and ffmpeg.
- EricE 4y agoChannels DVR works with quite a few streaming services (via TV Anywhere) and does commercial skip too. I use it with YouTube.TV as well as Philo. My parents also pick up OTA with an HD HomeRun on their channels DVR. The downside to Channels (and to be fair, exact same with MythTV) is the homebrew nature. I had to set up and maintain it for them. But if you have the means to run one and you like traditional cable channel content still, nothing beats Channels. They also have AppleTV and Firestick clients further sweetening the deal. It's $80 a year - but if you have dealt with Tivo or any of the other commercial products out there, that's not a lot - and it directly funds development. And development on Channels is very active, as is the dev participation in their forums (always a HUGE plus).
