I am done with Plex and started testing Jellyfin and Emby. The first show stopper I found in Jellyfin is https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-schedulesdi...s%2Bdirect. I almost gave up on Jellyfin right away, but then found your zap2xml script, generated the XMLTV file, and added it to Dispatcharr. It works great! Your tool not only gets a 14 day lineup in seconds, it also provides the images for the shows, and the guide data is free! That takes care of Jellyfin not being compatible with SD, and fixes live TV for me. Unfortunately the half-baked DVR functionality (can't go back or forward on live TV) in the Android TV Jellyfin client is pushing me to Emby.
