Description
No Setup, Works immediately once installed with sensible defaults. Extremely lightweight. A demo on the site with no installation required to see how it works.I'm a Developer in Ireland. This is for Jellyfin admins who don't want the overhead of another app in their docker/server setup but also want that nostalgia feeling of channel surfing your own content to find something.I built this as a fun and simple alternative to the likes of Tunarr or ErsatzTV which require quite a bit of setup and support a lot of configurations they also require transcoding and place a large burden on your server, this adds zero burden but they have the added benefit of working on the Jellyfin TV app.This works only in a browser. Jellyfin 12.x only.GPL, OpenSource.Why? Content discovery, have you ever just sat staring at your Jellyfin library paralysed by choice? This is for you.Would love feedback especially from people who have had to configure Tunarr or ErsatzTV.
