Hiya,

Plex / Jellyfin are nice and all, but you know what I really want? A TV-like “channel” I can configure with TV shows & movies to play on a schedule. I miss the cycle of Morning News -> trashy daytime tv -> light afternoon programming -> prime time -> late night -> repeat, or simply turning on the TV & having something already playing. Or that one-button channel up/down to move to a totally different vibe. “Playlists” in Plex/Jellyfin almost do what I want, but they’re difficult to pick up midway through, the “dumb shuffle” doesn’t care if I’ve seen an episode recently, and I can’t really mimic that daily tv cycle.

Is there a media streamer that does this? Do Plex/Jellyfin have that function & I’ve just missed it? If it doesn’t exist, would someone be a pal and whip that up?
