So I guess you can just hook up IPTV directly into Jellyfin. But there also seem to be helper apps like xTeVe, Dispatcharr, Threadfin, and others?

Are these helper apps worth an install? I’m curious if anyone has a favorite.

      I don’t know enough about it to form an opinion about it.

      If not then why share it?

      Because I thought it was interesting.

        No. It’s for IPTV channels that already exist. It lets you organize them and then make them available in Plex or Jellyfin.

        If you’re looking to make your own channel from content you already downloaded, that’s what ErsatzTV and dizqueTV do.

        If you’re looking to stream torrents without downloading them first, I’m pretty sure that can be done with Streamio and plugins, but I haven’t tried it.

      I’ve tried xteve and threadfin, seconding Dispatcharr, it’s my favorite. Threadfin definitely at the bottom, needs a lot of work.
