I'm playing around with Channels as a backend server for Plex (w/ threadfin) and Jellyfin as well as a source for TiviMate when I want to watch multiple games on the same screen.
One thing I have noticed is that my virtual channels are being pulled over into those platforms as I use the "ALL" sources. I wouldn't mind if the virtual channels "worked" under the other platforms, but it's my understanding that virtual channels are a client based solution, so nothing is pushed from the server but pulled by the client, and Plex/Jellyfin/TiviMate don't support it.
My work around is to use the individual source m3us but I have several (HDHomerun, Pluto, TVE, Fubo Project, Philo, etc) and it's more convenient to just use the master m3u source. Any chance virtual channels could be excluded in a future server update?
Thanks for considering.
