Takes your tuners in TVHeadEnd and emulates a HDHomeRun, in order to connect to Jellyfin’s Live TV and DVR features. It requires additional setup and configuration, but is a useful alternative to the TVHeadEnd plugin.
The following links are 3rd party plugin repos, which were obtained from a reddit post, and I haven’t visited them yet. Expect questionable code at best:
YoutubeDL: Youtube-dl API for recieving streamable links ComedyCentral: WIP plugin to provide Comedy Central content Crunchyroll: WIP plugin to provide Crunchyroll content NRK: Plugin to provide content from NRK web tv Pornhub: Plugin to provide content from Pornhub Redtube: Plugin to provide content from Redtube
AFAIK there isn’t a plugin for parsing that website, sending searches to it, and retrieving the appropriate stream.
You could write some code that could do that or you could use that site to expose the underlying m3u8 playlist for an individual file, drop that link in a text file, then name it as a .strm file and position the file such that JF picks it up as a video, but otherwise this website’s formatting is rather bespoke and I’m not aware of any JF plugins that allow for searching and dynamically adding content from any other on-demand streaming sites.
Which existing plugins were you thinking of? I’m a coder so maybe I can point out some of the differences/technical issues for you.
Those plugins parse live streams from specific sources. This website searches other websites for on-demand videos and returns links to them wrapped in an HTML5 video player for your convenience.
Jellyfin can handle a live stream (as in, a set of TV channels that it can tune in to) via one of these plugins, but that’s an altogether different process than hooking it up to this website.
I’m not saying it can’t be done, to be clear. It can. It’s just this would need a new plugin for Jellyfin and it’d be substantially more work than those plugins for the reasons I’ve outlined.
Well Lazyman is archived so that’s dead, but it’s also a livestream usecase for live sports.
That last one is more interesting since it’s using youtube-dl to create streaming links out of sources. Looks like it hasn’t been updated since Jellyfin 10.7.7 and JF is currently on 10.8.10, so it’d need some work for sure, but it’s definitely closer to what you’d need to do to hook this site up with JF.
It would be freaking cool as a content provider for Jellyfin.
If somebody could provide me a write up of how to do that I’ll be very grateful
I’m not a developer, but looking at the docs, shows several plugins able to stream from external sources.
Looks like Jellyfin refers to these plugins as “channels”, if the Jellyfin API isn’t enough, you can create custom endpoints.

Interesting, thank you
I’ve found these two links in their docs, they might be of use:

There isn’t a way yet.
Why do you say that? There are several plugins able to play external media.

I’m sure there are more out there that are not documented by Jellyfin themselves.
Right, OK.

Got it. What do you think about the ones on the bottom of this comment?:
