Are there any projects that let me turn plex into an old-school channal surf experience? (lemmy.ca)

I'm considering buying one of those commercial style tv's that can be kept on for long periods of time, so I can put my entire plex library on shuffle in the background while I do other things throughout the day. But I'd prefer if the "shuffle" was a little more customizable than what plex offers at the moment. Are there any projects that attempt to mimic the old-school channel-style setup from before the internet? i feel like such a setup would be ideal, since I could create several channels for different styles of media, but still have the randomness.

ersatztv is exactly what you’re looking for - takes your media library and turns it into a variety of channels as iptv. Can even do like epg and channel logos and other fluff you’re likely not to need. But importantly let’s you select the criteria for your channels - it can be a little overwhelming to first set up but is the exact fit for your needs.

https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv - have used it for years. Not perfect but gives me just what I want.
