Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

It would be freaking cool as a content provider for Jellyfin.

If somebody could provide me a write up of how to do that I’ll be very grateful

I'm not a developer, but looking at the docs, shows several plugins able to stream from external sources.

Looks like Jellyfin refers to these plugins as "channels", if the Jellyfin API isn't enough, you can create custom endpoints.

I've found these two links in their docs, they might be of use:

NextPVR

Provides access to Live TV, Program Guide, and Recordings from

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-nextpvr

Antennas​

Takes your tuners in TVHeadEnd and emulates a HDHomeRun, in order to connect to Jellyfin's Live TV and DVR features. It requires additional setup and configuration, but is a useful alternative to the TVHeadEnd plugin.

The following links are 3rd party plugin repos, which were obtained from a reddit post, and I haven't visited them yet. Expect questionable code at best:

LazyMan: Play NHL & MLB games through Jellyfin

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crobibero/Jellyfin.Channels.LazyMan/master/manifest.json

N0tflix

YoutubeDL: Youtube-dl API for recieving streamable links ComedyCentral: WIP plugin to provide Comedy Central content Crunchyroll: WIP plugin to provide Crunchyroll content NRK: Plugin to provide content from NRK web tv Pornhub: Plugin to provide content from Pornhub Redtube: Plugin to provide content from Redtube

Are providers English only?
