Been meaning to try random Jellyfin plugins that sim tv channels.
https://github.com/binarygeek119/FinTV
https://github.com/DrewThomasson/JellyfinTV
The second one even does custom ads based on channel content. I would love a plugin that queries random retro ads off the internet. Like you're watching Star Trek and get an ad for the SNES or Supersoaker when shows have scenes designed around commercials, or between episodes.
I'm using Tunarr which hooks up to a Jellyfin or Plex library and lets you customize channels and filler content (ads) with a bunch of different scheduling tools. Definitely a more heavyweight solution than those plugins but a lot more flexible.
You still have to find the filler content yourself but there's plenty of playlists on YouTube and Tunarr also supports local libraries so you don't need to clutter up your Jellyfin library with them.
