I installed and set this up with my jellyfin server last night.

It's a but rough around the edges, but still pretty good for a project that is obviously in the early stages.

The transctranscoding pipeline seems a bit confused, though. It seems like Tunarr is streaming meadia (raw?) from Jellyfin, and doing its own transcoding. Then jellyfin sees it as a raw broadcast signal, and then transcodes 2-5 second chunks to send out to the client.

Every client I've tried to use has had some real buffering problems. The system can just barely pump out frames fast enough for a 1:1 playback speed. Most clients only ever have a few seconds in the buffer, so interruptions are frequent. It also seems to not support subtitles correctly? All of my shows have subtitles, but I don't get an option to enable them during playback.

Jellyfin also doesn't seem to like the program guide.

One of my channels shows up correctly, and the guide info is integrated into jellyfin. If I open that channel, it shows me thumbnails for all upcoming episodes, and they're linked to the episodes in my library. The other channel has nothing. I can only show what's playing now.

But, it's all pretty simple to set up, and my husband is thrilled about his favorite comfort show now being on a permanent loop he can tune into at any time
