#4Having worked with public access TV scheduling and playout software, this is perversely fun to try. Don't forget to fill out your FCC Form 2100 Schedule H, kids!

#6This addon (or something like it at least) has been around for 10 years at least for Kodi. https://github.com/PseudoTV/PseudoTV_Live
Probably the best channel I found was playing a random comedy from a list you provide. You could have it follow release order be random if you want. Most media players have a similar feature though usually called something like a smart Playlist, and that really solves most of the issue.
It is an interesting problem though, but also probably a very real sign that you really need to find a hobby.

A strange sentiment to find on this website.

#8I like the project name. It reminds me of a Soviet joke. "In Soviet Russia there are two channels. First is propaganda. Second is KGB telling you to turn back to channel one."

#9I've been thinking about making something like this, but for our actual TV. I just want to it to change channels and not think about what is playing. I want my little one to not have to deal with crazy advertisements, but get the benefit of preprogrammed TV. The current batch of solutions for this are:
1) Hardware modulators. This can get pricey, but it is basically the most like regular TV. 2) Kodi + PseudoTV. 3) ErsatzTV. 4) ChannelsDVR 5) dizqueTV
Ideally, I'd like to have stations pulling from Youtube channels, Twitch Live / prerecorded, local media libraries, and some TikTok.
I was thinking of having channels arranged around interests and genres. A few stations I am thinking of are Classic Cartoons, Artisian crafting videos (primarily on YouTube), Train Rides, Classic Sitcoms, Musicals, Music Production, and Kenji-Lopez-Alt would get his own cooking channel.

I considered using something like that, and I did indeed have a mostly functional prototype built just using VLC and its playlist management features, but I wanted something that had as few dependencies as possible as well as something where I could draw/program any on-screen graphics I wanted without too much hassle.
Also, writing niche software that nobody else will use basically is my hobby, so mission accomplished :)
