i looked at volumino, lyrion and some others. didn’t feel like i was really digging further into open source

i have a similar setup cobbled together with navidrome, mopidy (with subidy, MPD and other extensions) and snapcast running right along side it, allowing me to play two audio streams at once. (one is audio, other is announcement pipeline)

mopidy has a decent amount of dev action. navidrome even more so.

snapcast can sling anything across the network.

tied into home assistant for control and automations

i want a copypasta kinda like the one about mankind, hell in the cell

but about the killdozer

Ive tried ersatz and a couple of other things it was cool

if you’re needing this channel on multiple devices at once (synced-ish) then ersatz is the way to go… but it uses some hardware/horsepower and it bugged me seeing the metrics spin up on that server for me to wanna have some background noise

instead, i found out kodi can do smart playlists!

I have jellyfin/emby feeding several kodi installs, and made various playlists based around various rules (can be genre, folder, tags, or TV show titles etc), with one of the rules being playcount for episodes/movies being under a certain number.

added a script for starting each playlist to buttons in home assistant, and bam, poor mans channels.

when an episode gets finished, the playcount goes up, keeping us from seeing the same episodes.

i know we’re getting crazy here but i even created a variable, so when the house knows i put it in “TV mode” like that, it maps my channel up and down buttons to the skip foward, skip previous buttons, making it feel more like channel surfing. which is a little much, but puts a smile on my face.

in the home assistant script, you could add a “skip 3 minutes” when “changing channels” so it feels like real TV, no need to see the first few minutes of speed! Where is Sandra Bullock!?

you got a license to sell hotdogs?
