Is anyone running this with a TV tuner (especially and HDHomerun Duo?)? The app works great, but if I watch via Jellyfin (using Live TV), it goes back to the previous menu after a few minutes of playing. Any ideas?

I don't use Jellyfin, but I do use Plex Media Server with a TV tuner (actually a couple; specifically, a HDHomerun Flex 4K and an internal Hauppauge WinTV PCI-Express tuner card - and despite the name, the WinTV tuner card works in Linux too). I'm not sure about Jellyfin, but Plex Media Server has been working fairly well with TV tuning (and also as a DVR).

Just a quick question while you brought up Plex. I re-installed the media server on my Windows machine just to temporarily serve up some shows to the rest of my TVs in the house.

At some point in the last year or so, did they add free TV? I seem to be getting all sorts of live TV channels on Plex, and I never paid a cent or don't believe I've given them any kind of payment information for any kind of subscription or anything. Kinda wierded me out, but whatever.

They added free TV to plex about 5 or 6 years ago, if I recall. I don't remember the exact time frame, but it has been there for a while.

Ah, well that explains that part. I guess I just don't remember any free TV when I ran the Linux version full time; which was only like a year ago.
