HackerNews seems like the place to ask this:

There is something magical about switching to a channel mid-stream. The old joke about how you'll watch a movie from the half-way mark with commercials on TV even though the DVD is on the shelf. I think this is why pluto.tv is so popular.

I have a ton of video files but can't find any way to recreate this for myself. Why isn't there a project like Plex but for channels?

I highly recommend ExpTV for this:

https://exptv.org

It spans the vhs era, curated by hand to flip through different oddities and ephemera.

No tracking, no algorithms, just a stream of fun wierdness. It even has a TV guide type thing so you can pick when to tune in.
