Is there a free way to use the DVR feature?

I find Jellyfin to be a basic DVR nothing special no advanced passes and no Close Captions on Clients.

Advanced passes is a great feature ... I do not have to search for New shows to record in prime time ... I let the DVR do that.

Example My Prime-Time advanced pass...

CC works with JF. I don't know any issues you got with using it. Jellycon can play them. Alternatively, you could just use comskip or ccextractor to output the file to srt to play em elsewhere. I don't watch many primetime shows so the basic DVR features is all I need...

I do not care to extract the SRT ... on the FireTV client there is no way to turn on CC that I saw. If the DVR does not have any smart/advanced passes I do not care for it. If I want to record Horror Movies on a certain Channel like IFC 781 uncensored/uncut full movies I want the DVR to find them.

There are "free" ways but the guide data and user experience/interface/integration is always the sticking point and what you are really paying for. Channels DVR is by far the best all-around experience. The $8 per month is about the cost of a single coffee/latte these days and IMHO one hell of a lot more useful and valuable to me.

This is blasphemy.

NOTHING is more important than coffee.
