I have managed to get the populated file with guide info with SD using both tv_grab_na_dd and tv_grab_zz_sdjson, I add them to jellyfin and have them enabled for my HD Home Run devices, but when I try to map the channels, the dialog box is empty. I have another EPG I use for some IPTV that enables me to map channels, so I know the process can work on my set up. After a lot of trial and error and reading the logs, I had a permissions error. The grabber wrote the file without jellyfin having access. Once that was corrected, it all went well. I suppose as a seasoned linux user, that is where I should have started.
That said, this is a very poor workaround. At this point, I have not found a way to grab more than one lineup without deleting the the config file, and the need to modify the permissions after each update makes this more trouble than it is worth. Here is to hoping that SD and jellyfin can sort this out.

Gives you the procedure to have multiple configurations for multiple lineups.
I am running this on linux ubuntu / mint.
Make sure that the config files are in the folder you run the command in and output the xmltv file, make sure the permissions are appropriate.
On linux you can run the grab commands in series by adding && between them.
I added a cronjob to make it run each morning at 3 am. I am hoping this automates the whole process for me and I can not worry about the plugin being fixed.
At the very least, I have one command to run to get all lineups.
