I just have a “channel” on my plex (I use DizqueTV to setup the fake TV channel) that has a random continuous playlist of Mythbusters, Top gear + all the spinoffs and classic specials, Junkyard wars, classic robot wars, etc etc…
I have been looking for high-quality video of Junkyard Wars for years. I found one torrent once of like 320x240 rips of a singe season. It’s miserable.
yea, sadly a lot of shows from those times were never released on decent formats, so all we have are poor broadcast rips, some of them from VHS, and occasionally a DVD encode made in 2003.
Just a fair warning, if you already use the LiveTV option with a TV Tuner or IPTV, I have yet to find a way to get them blended together with the fake TV channels in the guide on Plex even with xTeve outputting a valid m3u/xmltv. It’s either one or the other unfortunately.
Emby did work correctly so I’m assuming it’ll also work correctly in Jellyfin too.
its just an app you run next to plex that lets you make fake TV channels with your own content. good for those “I don’t know what to watch” times where you just want to click a button and shut your brain off.

There’s a 65 GB pack on archive.org

There is a complete pack of Junkyard wars / scrapheap challenge, but most of it is pretty poor quality, even the later seasons.
Holy shit this a game changer! My man thank you!!
DizqueTV you say… Onto the high seas to look for more info and understand what this is and why I need it…
Another one is ErsatzTV. They allow you to create your own ‘TV channels’ based on stuff in your library.
I didn’t know I wanted this, but now I need to have it.
