I haven't used it myself, but I've heard of ErsatzTV. Their docs note configuring Jellyfin as client.
I've used both. I had a few slight issues with dis transcoding (It was most likely a temporary Plex bug), moved to ers which wasn't affected by the bug and stayed there, They are approximately equivalent and both great projects.
@Darkassassin07 https://ersatztv.org/ sounds like it fits your needs. It supports multiple media servers as a source and generates streams and guide information.
I use Ersatz like others mentioned and it works fine, though I don't fully understand how everything works. Following a guide was enough to get several channels setup, but since I also have an antenna and HDHomerun set up, I had to also use xTeve to combine the real and fake programming guides.
This works as expected in Emby (which means it probably also works in Jellyfin), but in Plex it breaks the guide as the channels get all mixed up with respect to their programming data meaning I never know what I'm going to be watching when I click on it. If you don't have an antenna set up already, this probably won't be an issue for you.
Following this. Anyone tried running ErsatzTV with jellyfin? Does it work with the app?
