So after going down a new rabbit hole of information on home servers like JELLYFIN have found a tool called DISPATCHARR. From what I gather it will take stream sources and help you stabilize them. Assume lots of different streams can come in from a variety of random sources, and need some serious control and buffer monitoring, plus remapping for EPG information.
Please correct if you understand this different. If this tool exists there must be a lot of serious stream sources issues that need to be corrected and improved. This also helps explain why reliable DVR saving of shows is not allways possible, as streams are very easy to corrupt in connections. It’s not the local software like TIVIMATE that is having issues. It’s the steam source. Speculate? Or true?
I was trying to figure it out also, seems it runs in Docker and I know nothing about docker except I have some issue with it not working on my computer. I am wanting it because my understanding is I can edit TV service playlists.
If you look at the DISCORD group the discussion history is pretty interesting. Seems everyone is happy to use this tool. To make it work in win11 workstation I have to create a docker box, and put this software in there. Else completely convert over to UBUNTU Linux on my server, for a headless server. Know enough about Linux to get in trouble and not sure I want to monkey with it.
Am a cheapskate Alibaba user for service. So my DVR reliability might be better served by finding a one month test provider with better IPTV and two or three streams simultaneously (which I have found maybe). Such a rabbit hole hobby for time. Lol.
Everything is getting more and more aggressive with shutdowns. Can see this all going away in six months with blocking at the major INTERNET PROVIDER level, like YOUTUBE does for video. Pure speculation and rumer on my part.
