just watched the video and looks great so far.
Looking forward to the graphical interface eventually but this is a nice start.
Just wanted to give a quick update after radio silence...
Alpha testing has been going well, ironing out a lot of the bumps and figuring out what works in many areas and edge cases. Per usual, not everything has gone according to plan, but excellent progress has been made. At this point, the backend code base seems stable and has been working as expected. As such, we're moving on to a new phase.
Beta build is underway!
This 100% self-contained version will have a full graphical web-based user interface and run as a background service on Windows, Linux, and Docker (sorry Mac, you have to use Docker).
I'm not going to give any timelines as it depends upon my own availability to finish the Beta build and do testing with the invite group, but I expect this to be available to all of you in the "soon-ish" future!

But I am too stupid for Docker!! That's why I use a Mac for goodness sake!

Well, too be fair, you could also use the Python-direct version or the self app-build method, but I imagine both of those would be even more complicated than just using Docker! Thankfully, with things like Project One-Click, it's getting a bit easier to get stuff up and running in short order.

Neat!! That'll be nice to have as I could add shows remotely via webui instead of using the script from another computer to a network drive
This is a very exciting project. I’m sitting here cheering you on. I have to admit, I didn’t quite understand what it did at first, but I recently went and added a few movies and a couple shows to Channels via stream links, and then I remembered seeing this project. When I came back and read the info, the light bulb went off. Can’t wait to see it!

The project looks good.
I'm excited to use the container with web interface etc.
Keep us posted.
Beta testing is now underway! You can follow along and get a preview of everything in the new Github repo:
Please note that the Beta testing is still with a closed group and you will not find the program on the repo until production launch.
Progress looks great.
thanks for showing things off.
Very much looking forward to trying this out.

Getting very, very close! You can now see in the GitHub repo that basically everything is filled in save a preview/help video and some more FAQ / Troubleshooting (less the entire software, of course). I'm feeling really good about stability and ease/options of deployment.

@Rwbisme, I just wanted you to know that Mac-related troubleshooting is driving me 
I kid, it's all good to find these issues in beta and knock them out. I'm hopeful we're within the last few beta iterations before wide release!

We are now live! Please follow the directions above:
And again, I cannot thank enough Alpha/Beta testers (in no particular order), who, without their help, this would not be possible: @jasonmcroy, @mgantt87, @Fofer, @bnhf, @mjitkop, and @Jean0987654321
If you are using Olivetin / Project One-Click, it should be available on there in a short while.
For anyone having any issues or questions, please continue the conversation below...

Trying to set this up, having issues finding the Channels folder thru Docker on MacOS. I have the env variable set to /Volumes/External990Pro/DVR, but it errors out. Trying to navigate to it in the web settings, I can only see internal Docker folders. How do I get the host folders thru Docker?
EDIT to add that my Channels on MacOS is running natively, not in a docker container, if that makes a difference.
