As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I’m still here… recording Live TV, watching films, listening to “me choonz” all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

    Using mythtv for 15 years at least. At the beginning with its own frontend, now with a Kodi frontend on an Androidtv box.

    I am reading about jellyfin here frequently, but have not tried it so far. Can it even handle SAT receivers?

      Jellyfin is basically a storage/streaming server. You still have to get the files, which is where Sonarr/Radarr/QBT come in.

        Yeah, I was kinda thinking about a combined Myth Backend / *arr box and then see whether Myth Frontend or Jellyfin worked “better” (for my use case)… just need a spare weekend to try it all out.
