Please let me know how your experience goes with hooking up Tunarr (I'm the maintainer)!

Absolutely, I think you're right. I appreciate the feedback.

Maintainer here (and fan of ETV)! Currently, the most fundamental difference between Tunarr and ETV is scheduling methodology, though this is on the road to change. ETV takes a top-down approach; you schedule lists/collections (either custom, or just a whole series, for instance), clump those choices together, and customize how they "play out" their contents, e.g. "play 2 programs from series A, then play 4 programs at random from collection X".

Tunarr is, currently (and like it's predecessor dizqueTV), a bottom-up scheduler. You create a schedule with a flat list of programs (episodes, movies, etc). Then, you apply transformations to that list (grouping, padding, etc) in order to build your schedule. This is a bit of a simplification.

Both programs have a range of tedium in their scheduling, depending on how particular you are about your schedule.

Of course, ETV is more mature than Tunarr, so there are a lot of other features it has that Tunarr does not. It is also, likely, more stable. However Tunarr's streaming stability has come a long way and was the primary focus in the beginning of the project.

Yes, client connections are synced. They also all reuse the same underlying transcode stream, so there is no extra work with more connections (besides delivering the stream)

Ah, I thought that connecting a custom Live TV source to Plex required the pass. If that is not the case, I can remove the line from the README!

Hey all, maintainer here. A little late to the post (not sure how I missed this!) but happy to answer any questions anybody has.

I have a lot of plans for this project, so I'm really excited to see some enthusiasm around it!
